The 67-year-old actor was accused of rape by two women in separate incidents in a report published on Thursday by The Hollywood Reporter. The report claimed both the women did not know each other and contacted the publication in August and September, respectively when Noth was busy promoting his next comedy-drama television series, And Just Like That... They both mentioned that the promotions and articles surfacing about the Sex and the City sequel, And Just Like That had brought back 'painful memories'.
The incidents in question took place in Los Angeles in 2004 and in New York in 2015. The publication reported the story using the names Zoe and Lily and did not reveal their identity. Lily, who mentioned she was 25-years-old at the time of the incident mentioned she had text messages as proof of what happened. Zoe on the other hand mentioned that seeing the actor on the recently released show 'set off something' in her that she had 'buried' for several years.
Noth responded to the allegations and stated they were 'categorically false' in a statement. The actor mentioned in his statement that the allegations made against him were made by people he met 'years, even decades, ago'. He called them 'categorically false' and mentioned that 'no always means no' and that he never crossed that line.
