Zoe Lister-Jones accuses Chris Noth of misconduct on ‘Law & Order’ set
LA TimesZoe Lister-Jones arrives at the L.A. premiere of her film “How It Ends” on July 15, 2021. Director and actor Zoe Lister-Jones is calling “Sex and the City” star Chris Noth “a sexual predator” in the wake of a new report that cited two women who accused him of sexual assault, which Noth has denied. She pegged her statement to her gut reaction to the shocking death of Noth’s character, Mr. Big, in the premiere episode of HBO Max’s new “Sex and the City” revival, “And Just Like That..” Lister-Jones, 39, said she “felt relieved” about Mr. Big’s fate because “she couldn’t separate the actor from the man.” Noth, she said, “capitalized on the fantasy that women believed Mr. Big represented.” “I hadn’t thought of this man for so many years, and yet there was virility to my language that came from somewhere deep and buried,” she wrote Thursday on Instagram. “Chris Noth capitalized on the fantasy that women believed Mr. Big represented,” she wrote. Perhaps Big’s death is the communal grief we must all face in mourning that fantasy, in releasing that male archetype we as women have been fed through popular culture, and confronting its dark and pervasive underbelly.” She concluded: “F— Mr. Big.”
