Sex and the City Star Felt Betrayed by Public Statement, No Private Call Before Fallout
Chris Noth disclosed that his decades-long friendship with Sarah Jessica Parker ended after she publicly supported women accusing him of sexual assault in 2021. The Sex and the City actor, 71, shared his hurt on the Really Famous podcast with Kara Mayer Robinson, airing January 26, 2026. He felt betrayed when Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis issued a statement backing the accusers without contacting him first. “We’re not friends. That’s pretty obvious,” Noth stated bluntly.
The Painful Podcast Revelation
Noth described Parker’s response as “brand management” rather than genuine friendship. “She didn’t even call me once,” he said. Three women accused him of assault between 2004-2015. Noth denies all claims, insisting he never crossed that line. The timing devastated his career. He was fired from The Equalizer and written out of And Just Like That…—killed off as Mr. Big in the premiere.
“If we’d known each other for decades, she should have called to hear my side,” Noth added. He believes roles reversed, he’d reach out privately. The public statement “affected everything,” ending their bond permanently. Parker has not responded to his comments.
2021 Scandal’s Lasting Impact
The allegations surfaced via The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Beast. Parker’s trio statement read: “We are deeply saddened by these allegations.” It prioritized victims while distancing from Noth. His character met a swift end via bike accident. Off-screen, their Carrie-Big chemistry fueled fan love. Real life soured fast.
Noth’s recent Instagram “shade” at Parker’s Golden Globes award reignited talk. He called it “slightly sarcastic.” Podcast remarks cut deeper.
Hollywood Friendship Tested
This echoes SATC tensions. Noth once defended Parker against co-star gripes. Now silence reigns. And Just Like That… thrives without him—renewed for season 3. Noth works indie projects, reflecting on loyalty.
Fans divide: some back Noth’s denial, others support #MeToo stance. The rift underscores celebrity bonds’ fragility amid scandal. Carrie and Big’s TV romance? Ancient history.
