And Just Like That got rid of a problem called Chris Noth. While the actor, who plays Mr. Big in the spin-off (and since Sex and the City), was accused of sexual assault by several women, the program knew it was going to have to make a drastic decision to avoid a bad buzz. SPOILER ALERT: Because even if Big died during the first episode of the series, another part of the first season was to take Carrie, the character of Sarah Jessica Parker, on the Pont des Arts in Paris, to disperse the ashes of her companion .
To avoid any controversy, and to the extent that, according to TVLine, the scene (where Mr. Big returns in a dreamlike sequence) was deemed non-essential, Chris Noth’s appearance was literally cut off in the edit.
Consequences
This is not the only consequence of these very serious accusations, since Chris Noth was also fired from the series. The Equalizer, airs on CBS.
Sarah Jessica Parker, very close to the actor, was, for her part, quickly split a press release in which she clearly showed her support for the alleged victims. “We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it’s a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it, ”she wrote, alongside her sisters Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
The actor, meanwhile, has always denied the facts with which he is accused.
