Why Their Friendship Ended - Chris Noth slams Sarah Jessica Parker over ‘brand management’ after misconduct fallout
Chris Noth has spoken openly about the fallout from the 2021 sexual misconduct allegations against him. In a recent interview, he criticised Sarah Jessica Parker’s public response, calling it mere 'brand management'. The actor also confirmed that his long-standing friendship with Parker has now ended.
The allegations surfaced in late 2021, leading to Noth’s removal from And Just Like That..., the Sex and the City revival. He expressed disappointment that no one, including close colleagues, reached out to him personally during the controversy. Instead, he felt isolated, describing the experience as a test of who his true friends were.
Noth specifically addressed Parker, his co-star of nearly 25 years. He believed she should have contacted him directly to hear his side of the story before making any public statements. According to him, their history of working together made her silence particularly painful.
The actor now views Parker’s public remarks as a calculated move rather than genuine concern. He suggested her response was designed to protect her own reputation rather than address the situation fairly.
Noth’s exclusion from the Sex and the City revival remains permanent. His friendship movie with Parker, once a central part of his professional life, has officially ended. The actor continues to maintain that the allegations were handled unfairly, leaving lasting personal and professional consequences.
