'Sex and the City' stars react to Chris Noth sexual assault allegations
Chris Noth, who plays Mr. Big on 'Sex and the City', has been accused of sexually assaulting two women.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis are speaking out after their 'Sex and the City' co-star, Chris Noth, was accused of rape.
Chris, who plays Mr. Big, appears in the show's reboot, 'And Just Like That...", on HBO Max.
Two women accused him of sexual assault. The women spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the allegations.
The women say they were "triggered" by the reboot. One woman, who used the pseudonym 'Zoe', says he raped her at a Los Angeles apartment in 2004.
"It was very painful and I yelled out, ‘Stop!’. And he didn’t. I said, ‘Can you at least get a condom?’ and he laughed at me," she told the publication.

The second woman, using the pseudonym 'Lily', says she met the actor at a New York nightclub in 2015.
"I was truly star-struck. He was hitting on me, for sure. I was flattered. I knew he was married, which is shameful of me to admit," she revealed.
Lily says he invited her to dinner and they ended up having drinks at his Greenwich Village apartment. She says Chris tried making out with her.
"He kept trying and trying and trying, and I should have said no more firmly and left. And then the next thing I knew, he pulled down his pants and he was standing in front of me.”
Chris has denied the women's allegations. He says "the encounters were consensual".
