Chris Noth felt abandoned by Sarah Jessica Parker after he was accused of sexual assault

Chris Noth was "disappointed" by the way his Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker turned on him after he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

The 71-year-old actor's career has been curtailed since the allegations against him were first made in 2021 and he felt abandoned by Sarah - who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO series - as she put out a statement with her co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon saying they were "deeply saddened" by the accusations.

Speaking on an upcoming episode of the Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson podcast, Chris - who played Carrie's husband Mr. Big in Sex and the City - said: "We're not friends - I think that's pretty obvious.

"The statement they put out - which was nothing more than brand management, really - I don't know, it was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising.

"Because you need to call me and hear my side of this. You've known me for many years, and we've worked (together) for many years.

"I get it, that's more Hollywood than Hollywood. But before you make that statement, you know me, you've known me all these years, give me a call so I can give you the real scoop about this.

"And that didn't happen, and that was too bad."
