Chris Noth cut from And Just Like That following sexual assault allegations

Big was due to appear in the finale episode.

Actor Chris Noth has been removed from the And Just Like That finale following sexual assault allegations. The actor, who is best known for playing Mr. Big, has been accused of sexual assault numerous times. Despite multiple allegations, Noth claims they are "categorically false". It is believed Noth's character was due to star in the finale, but the scene has now been cut. Big was set to appear in front of Carrie during a trip to Paris, where she went to spread his ashes. According to TV Line, the show's creative team felt like the footage was not "integral". A source also said the finale episode had not yet been "locked" when the allegations were disclosed. The scene was not an "essential" part of the finale episode, sources claim. In December, two women revealed Noth sexually assaulted them in 2004 and in 2015. A third woman also came forward and said she was sexually assaulted by the actor too. Noth claimed, “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. He added, "I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.” Noth's Sex and the City co-stars expressed their support to the victims. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis issued a joint statement. They said, “We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.”
