LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – A New York musician has accused Chris Noth, actor of “Sex and the City”, of groping her almost 20 years ago and threatening her career if they tell anyone.

The accusation was made by Lisa Gentile, singer-songwriter. It follows a Hollywood Reporter Dec. 16 story in which two women (whose identities they didn’t disclose) had accused Noth, the Hollywood Reporter, of sexual assault in 2004/2015.

Noth described these claims as “categorically incorrect.”

On Thursday, the actor’s reps did not comment on Gentile’s accusations. Gentile spoke during a Zoom news conference with Gloria Allred and attorney Gloria Allred.

Gentile stated that Noth met her in 1998 while they were dining at the same New York City restaurant. The actor gave Gentile a ride to her home in 2002 and wanted her to view her apartment.

Noth kissed her and “forcefully pulled” her towards him. Then, she began to squeeze her breasts. She said, “I grasped his hands and tried stopping it.”

Gentile claimed that Noth also shoved her hand towards his penis. “Eventually, I was able to pull them aside and get free from his grip and shout, ‘No!

Noth was “stormed out” and called her back the following day. He said he’d “ruin her profession” if she shared what happened.

Noth is 67 and best-known for his role as Mr. Big in Sarah Jessica Parker’s romantic relationship with Carrie Bradshaw.

Noth stated that the Hollywood Reporter encounters were consensual, and that “no always implies no” – that was a line that I didn’t cross.

Parker, Kristin and Cynthia Nixon were both co-stars on the show and released a statement Monday saying that they were shocked to learn of Noth’s allegations.
