Chris Noth has been dropped from CBS’ series “The Equalizer” after being accused of sexual assault by two women, Variety has learned. bit.ly/3FeLGw8

Noth will be seen in one original upcoming episode of the series that has already been filmed, as well as future encores of episodes that have already aired, but will no longer be a part of the show. CBS had no further comment. bit.ly/3FeLGw8

In a detailed investigation by The Hollywood Reporter published last Thursday, two women, under the pseudonyms of “Zoe” and “Lily,” separately approached the publication months apart and shared their sexual assault allegations against Noth. bit.ly/3FeLGw8

Noth denied the allegations in a statement to THR, calling them “categorically false” and claiming the encounters were consensual: “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.” bit.ly/3FeLGw8

Noth is best known for playing Mr. Big on “Sex and The City,” and he recently reprised the role, only to be killed by a Peloton-inflicted cardiac arrest, in its sequel “And Just Like That.” bit.ly/3FeLGw8

After Peloton stock dropped, Noth appeared in a commercial for the exercise equipment company alongside instructor Jess King. bit.ly/3FeLGw8

After the allegations surfaced last Thursday, Peloton deleted the viral ad: “Every single sexual assault accusation must be taken seriously,” a representative for Peloton said in a statement to Variety. bit.ly/3FeLGw8
