Another woman comes forward with accusations against Chris Noth
Though the statute of limitations is up, the woman has come forward in hopes of getting the laws changed
Aux News Chris Noth
A few days ago, the main cast of Sex And The City revival And Just Like That… (Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristen Davis) chose to voice their support for the women who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against their former co-star Chris Noth, saying, “We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.” Now, another woman has come forward with a new allegation.
This comes from Variety, which reports that singer-songwriter Lisa Gentile has claimed in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred that she was “sexually victimized” by Noth in 2002 when he “forcibly pulled her, kissed her, and touched her breasts.” She also accused him of threatening her afterward, saying he told her she “would never sing again” and that he’d “blacklist” her if she “ever told a soul about what happened.”
The statute of limitations on Gentile’s accusations has passed, so she said in her press conference with Allred that she came forward in hopes of helping to change how the law treats sexual abuse. Gentile also said that “[the accusers] should have our day in court to hold Mr. Noth accountable for what he did.”
The accusations started coming out earlier this month, shortly after Noth appeared in a jokey Peloton ad referencing his character’s death on And Just Like That… He was later dropped by his management agency and fired from a role on CBS’ The Equalizer.
Noth has denied all of the previous accusations, saying, “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. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

Man, Logan’s never getting off Staten Island ever again.
I fear Logan’s need to get off is what got him into this mess.
I pity straight men. Thank god in the gay male community, it’s considered an insult if you don’t get groped within 5 minutes of entering the bar.
All I want for giftmas is not to see another photo of a rapist (alleged or otherwise).
That power has been in your hands all along! All you have to do is throw your device out the window into the snow!
What? And give up AV Club?
Sorry, little Wizard of Oz moment there.
“Man, what will we do when we run out of photos where Noth looks exactly how you imagine a sexual predator?”“I don’t think we need to worry about that.”
There’s an entire Raiders of the Lost Ark-style warehouse full of them.
According to BrainyQuote, one of Chris Noth’s quotes is “I don’t mind demanding women.” I guess they should have asked him what he was demanding of them.
Now does that mean he doesn’t mind demanding women, or he doesn’t mind demanding women?
Or who he was demanding them from.
I always thought he was saying he enjoyed Jean Smart, Delta Burke and Annie Potts.
I assume it went something like that, plus Noth’s predispotion to rape.
It’s spelled “Demeaning.”
Yawn. Perhaps the reason your website is dying is because you chase every one of these stories and no one cares.
More like Mr. Big House, am I right?
I absolutely adore your user name and avatar.
>he told her she “would never sing again” and that he’d “blacklist” her if she “ever told a soul about what happened.”Dear people who always come here with “if this is true why didn’t they come out sooner”skepticism. This is why (plus a million more reasons).
he told her she’s never gonna sing again, rapey feet have got no rhythm.
Yeah, that “why now?” skepticism never made sense to me. High profile projects come along and suddenly someone like Noth is showing up everywhere again.
my question is more abstract and subjective—has Chris Noth EVER had enough mojo to “blacklist” someone? He has been around a while and been on Law & Order and SATC, did I miss something? To me he has always been sort of a B/C lister. I know that’s not the point here but could he be that delusional about his influence in show business?
To be fair, threats can be far more about the fear of that consequence than the actual realistic possibility of that consequence ever happening. Whether or not Chris Noth could actually follow through on threats might be completely unimportant in that sort of context.
It seems highly unlikely, but I’m sure the woman he was threatening didn’t want to find out. But, yeah. I can’t imagine what Chris Noth could possibly do to blacklist a singer-songwriter.
It’s never just one.
like Pringles.
Interesting that these accusations are coming out NOW when he’s in the SATC reboot. Where were these women when #MeToo first took off? Law & Order, L&O:CI, and SATC have been in syndication for eons. Plus he was in The Good Wife and Doctor Who. But NOOOOO, let’s get him while he’s playing Mr. Big again! As for that woman who was worried her music career would be over if she came forward, when did her career even start? I’ve never heard of her nor her music.
