Disgraced star Chris Noth has now broken his silence after a bizarre dig he made at ex co-star Sarah Jessica Parker went viral.
The star publicly bashed the Sex And The City star in a cutting Instagram comment last week but has since downplayed the message, insisting the frenzy surrounding the message he wrote himself was ‘a waste of time.’
In a message posted to his Instagram along with a headshot, the actor – who played Parker’s love interest Mr. Big – posted: ‘My off the cuff slightly sarcastic response to a comment on the internet seems to have caused a tempest in a teapot. It is not news.
‘It is not worth all this discussion. It is a waste of time in a world where there are more important things to worry about.’
Last week Noth publicly bashed his ex SATC costar Parker, 60, after she was honored with the Carol Burnett Award ahead of the Golden Globes last week.
Parker was given the prestigious accolade last Thursday 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, 71, 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 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.
