FIFTH Woman Accuses Sex And The City Star Of Sexual Assault
Can Sex And The City be any more of a catastrophe? The most disastrous and poorly reviewed reboot in years is making headlines again today (sadly, not because it’s been canceled), as a fifth woman has come froward with allegations of sexual assault against “Mr. Big” actor Chris Noth. Via BBC:
A fifth woman has accused Sex and the City actor Chris Noth of sexual abuse and threatening to ruin her career if she spoke out about the alleged attack. U.S. singer Lisa Gentile says the actor, now 67, groped her at her New York apartment after giving her a lift home from a restaurant almost 20 years ago. The accusation comes after four other women alleged that Mr. Noth had sexually assaulted them years ago.
Mr. Noth rejected earlier accusations as “categorically false”.
On Thursday, Ms. Gentile, 54, told a virtual press conference she had first met the actor at a New York City restaurant in 1998. One night in 2002, she said, Mr. Noth accompanied her to her apartment and she “quickly became uncomfortable”.
“He was slobbering all over me,” she alleged. “I was trying to get him to stop.”
She accused Mr. Noth of touching her inappropriately and forcing her to place her hands on him.
“He became more aggressive and put both hands on my breasts and began squeezing them very hard over my shirt,” Ms. Gentile said. “I kept pushing his hands down while he was pushing mine up.”
The singer said she had managed to gain control and push him away, telling him: “No, I don’t want this.”
Ms. Gentile said she had not come forward with the allegation before now because she had been “afraid… of Noth’s power and his threats to ruin my career.”
