On February 3, the US streaming service HBO Max will show the last episode of the first season of "And Just Like That".
According to reports, planned for the finale of the "Sex and the City" follow-up series: a flashback scene by Chris Noth.
Noth's appearance was apparently cut from the episode.
A corresponding report on the "TV Line" website confirmed unspecified sources from the industry pages "Deadline" and "Variety".
Accordingly, the series team decided that the material planned for the season finale of Noth, who plays the husband of main character Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), is narrative not significant enough to broadcast.
In the past few weeks, several women had serious allegations against the "Mr.
Big ”actors charged.
A connection between the allegations and the editing of the finals was not explicitly made in the reports.
However, there are some indications that the broadcaster has taken action, as more and more women have spoken out who accuse Noth of sexual abuse and harassment.
Singer and songwriter Lisa Gentile said that Noth harassed her in her New York apartment in 2002.
She defended herself against the actor's attacks.
Noth warned her not to tell anyone about the incident.
She was silent for a long time out of fear, said Gentile.
Previously, three women had accused Noth of having abused her. One of the women said in a report in Hollywood Reporter that Noth raped her in 2004 in his West Hollywood apartment. The other woman said that Noth attacked her in 2015 after a date in his New York apartment. A third woman described a sexual assault in 2010 on the Daily Beast website.
Beatings and death threats
As the industry service "Page Six" reported, Noth's former girlfriend Beverly Johnson also applied for an injunction against the actor in 1995. According to court documents, the model stated that Noth had "hit her in the chest and ribs" and allegedly repeatedly threatened to "kill" her.
Noth denied all allegations.
"The allegations against me that are made by people I met years or even decades ago are categorically false," Noth said, adding that the contact with the women concerned was "consensual."
