Chris Noth took a swipe at his former Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker while attending a charity event on Wednesday.
The actor, 71, who is best known for playing Mr. Big in SATC, insisted he is ‘lucky’ that his character was killed off in the first episode of the widely-ridiculed spin-off, And Just Like That, following allegations of sexual assault from two women.
Noth exclusively told Daily Mail that he feels ‘very good’ he wasn’t a bigger part of the now cancelled show, while attending the Blue Jacket Fashion Show in New York City.
After his character was written off the show in the wake of the allegations, Parker — along with the rest of the SATC cast — issued a statement making it clear that they stood with the women.
When asked if he had anything to say about what happened with Parker during a red carpet interview, he emphatically said ‘no’, before adding that it’s ‘over.’
However, he hasn’t fallen out with all cast members. Noth was seen paling around with co-star Mario Cantone at the event. Cantone — who played Anthony Marentino in SATC and its revival — told Daily Mail there is ‘no tension’ between them.

Noth was seen on the red carpet with his arm around his former co-star at one point.
Cantone said that it was ‘great to see him.’ He clarified that there is ‘no tension’ between them.
As for other cast members having tension with Noth, the actor said, ‘I have no idea. All I know is, I know my experience. I loved seeing him.’
Noth also said that he keeps in touch with John Corbett, who starred as his romantic rival Aidan Shaw in the original show and the reboot.
And when asked if he still talks to Kim Cattrall — who opted out of the reboot — he said that he ‘wished her happy birthday a few months ago.’
Noth also revealed he is officially back in front of the cameras for his horror movie debut in the upcoming flick The Block, which is currently in post-production.
The actor teased that fans can expect ‘a lot of blood’ in the gory new venture, directed by Craig Singer.
He also shared he is ‘working on a play’ with friends.

Later on Noth hit the runway at the show, which was founded by fashion designer Frederick Anderson. The event — sponsored by Johnson & Johnson — raises vital funds for ZERO Prostate Cancer.
Others in attendance included Don Lemon, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Nye, Jesse Solomon, Ja Rule and more.
Just last month Noth took aim at Parker in a bizarre post.
Noth became embroiled in scandal back in 2021 after two anonymous women claimed he sexually assaulted them in separate incidents in 2004 and 2015.
No charges were ever brought and Noth has vehemently denied the claims as ‘categorically false,’ but the fallout was swift and he has not starred in a movie or TV show since.
Noth publicly bashed Parker after she was honored with the Carol Burnett Award ahead of the Golden Globes in January.
Parker was given the prestigious accolade during a Golden Eve special, and during her acceptance speech, she gushed over working with the ‘most glorious ensemble of women and actors’ on SATC for the last 25 years.
But Noth – who played the love interest of Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, for years in the show and films, and reprised the role for one episode of the revival And Just Like That… – seemed unamused by her win.

Noth shared a snap of himself in the gym earlier this week, which he captioned: ‘F&@k New Years – LET’S GO!’
The snap showed him sitting on an exercise machine as he held two weights and stared into the camera.
When a fan responded in the comment section with, ‘You mean f**k Sarah Jessica Parker and her award right? Lol,’ he replied with: ‘Right.’
Fans were naturally confused by his seemingly out-of-nowhere dig, with one writing, ‘I need the tea.’
‘Wait a min what’s the tea, what’d she do?’ asked another.
‘What? Did I miss something?’ questioned someone else.
Noth has denied sexually assaulting the two women who came forward to THR, instead claiming they were ‘consensual encounters.’
‘The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false,’ he said in a statement to the publication at the time.
‘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.’
The exposé led to two more women coming forward with similar claims about Noth, who was promptly dropped by A3 Artists Agency and his character was killed off CBS’ The Equalizer.
AJLT producers also made sure to remove all of the Law & Order alum’s flashback scenes that had been shot before the scandal broke in 2021.
‘We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth,’ Parker and her costars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis said in a joint statement after the allegations first arose in 2021.
‘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.’
In a 2022 interview with THR, Parker said she had not been in contact with Noth since the scandal.
The two-time Golden Globe nominee – who still commands $350 on Cameo – scored his first post-scandal role as a horror fiction writer overcoming writer’s block in Craig Singer’s thriller comedy The Block alongside Jackie Earle Haley and Elias Koteas.
It was originally due out last fall but seemed to be postponed and now has no confirmed release date.
