Chris Noth taken off 'The Equalizer' amid sexual assault allegations

Chris Noth, known best as Mr. Big throughout the Sex and the City franchise as well as its current HBO Max limited series revival And Just Like That..., is done on CBS crime drama The Equalizer.

“Chris Noth will no longer film additional episodes of The Equalizer, effective immediately,” Universal Television and CBS confirmed Monday (Dec. 20), per People.

“Noth will be seen in one upcoming episode that has already been filmed, as well as future repeats of episodes that have already aired,” People additionally relayed.

The Equalizer stars Queen Latifah and premiered early this year. 

Noth, 67, has been under fire since last Thursday (Dec. 16) when The Hollywood Reporter published a scathing, graphic report in which two women separately accused him of sexual assault on two separate occasions in 2004 and 2015. A third woman came forward over the weekend, as told to The Daily Beast.

Noth denied all allegations: “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago—no always means no—that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

Last Friday (Dec. 17), actress Zoe Lister-Jones posted a lengthy Instagram note accusing Noth of “sexually inappropriate” behavior on the set of Law & Order and called him “a sexual predator.”

Also Monday, Noth reportedly lost the $12 million sale of his Ambhar tequila brand.
