Chris Noth shaded former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker yet again amid their ongoing rift.
The former Mr. Big told the Daily Mail on Wednesday that he “was very lucky” his iconic character was killed off at the beginning of the “Sex and the City” sequel series, “And Just Like That,” in December 2021.
While attending the Blue Jacket Fashion Show in New York City, the actor also said with a chuckle that he felt “very good” about not being featured more prominently in the series, which was widely criticized by fans before coming to an end last year.
One week after Noth, 71, was written out of the series, he faced allegations of sexual assault, which he has vehemently denied.
Parker and co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis shared a joint statement at the time, saying, “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. 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.”
When the outlet asked Noth if he had anything to say about the falling out, he said “no” and added that “it’s over.”
The actor was also seen spending time with Mario Cantone, who played Anthony Marentino in both series. Cantone told the outlet that there’s “no tension” with Noth, and that it was “great to see him” at the fashion show.
The actor said of the feud in part, “All I know is, I know my experience. I loved seeing him.”
Noth told the outlet that he keeps in touch with John Corbett, who played Aidan Shaw, and that he wished Kim Cattrall — who’s had her own rift with Parker — a happy birthday “a few months ago.”
A rep for Parker did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Noth previously lashed out at the “Hocus Pocus” star, 60, in a social media diss last month — he shared a workout pic at the time, captioning it, “F&@k new years – LETS GO!!!!”
In the comments thread, a fan asked, “You mean f—k SJP & her award right? lol,” to which Noth responded, “Right.”
He walked back the comment in an Instagram post in mid January. “My off the cuff slightly sarcastic response to a comment on the internet seems to have caused a tempest in a teapot,” he wrote alongside a portrait of himself. “It is not news.”
Noth subsequently claimed during a January appearance on the “Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson” podcast that Parker didn’t reach out to him before sharing the public statement supporting his accusers.
“The statement that they put out — which was nothing more than brand management, really — I don’t know, it was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising,” Noth said, adding, “you need to call me and hear my side of this. You’ve known me for many years, and we’ve worked [together] for many years.”
He continued, “And I get it, that’s more Hollywood than Hollywood. But before you make that statement, you know me, you’ve known me all these years, give me a call so I can give you the real scoop about this. And that didn’t happen, and that was too bad.”
Noth also said if “it had been on the other hand, I wouldn’t have done that.”
“That was hurtful, and it really affected everything,” he explained.
