Noth, also known for his roles in Law & Order, The Good Wife, and Monsters, played the character Mr. Big, the main love interest for Sarah Jessica Parker's protagonist in the popular series. Noth was also dropped by his talent agency, and the Fitness brand Peloton removed an advert that featured the actor. Chris, however, claims the allegations to be 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," Noth wrote.
