Chris Noth calls the end of his 25-year friendship with Sarah Jessica Parker “hurtful,” blaming a 2021 joint statement that iced him out of the SATC universe overnight.
Chris Noth has finally pulled the curtain back on the moment his Sarah Jessica Parker friendship flat-lined, and it boils down to three words: “We’re not friends.”
In a teaser for Monday’s Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson podcast, the 71-year-old actor says the fracture came after Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis issued a public statement siding with the women who accused him of sexual assault in December 2021—allegations he has always denied.
The Statement That Froze Mr. Big
Noth tells Robinson the trio’s press release felt like “nothing more than brand management,” adding, “It was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising.” His gripe: not one co-star rang him first. “You’ve known me for many years… give me a call so I can give you the real scoop,” he laments.
Within days of the allegations, People confirmed that Noth was axed from And Just Like That and his iconic character, Mr. Big, was killed off in the premiere—an exit Noth now calls “more Hollywood than Hollywood.”
Collateral Damage: A Quarter-Century of Chemistry
The pair’s on-screen spark stretched from 1998’s Sex and the City pilot through two feature films, earning them MTV Awards and endless “Big & Carrie” think-pieces. Off-screen, Noth says he would have “absolutely” reached out to Parker had the roles reversed. “That was hurtful, and it really affected everything,” he admits.
Social-Media Sparks Still Fly
Even in 2026 the frost lingers. Earlier this month Noth hit “Right” on an Instagram comment that shaded Parker’s Golden Globe honor, a move he later labeled “slightly sarcastic” in a post seen by Us Weekly.
What Noth Says He Lost—and Found
“What’s gained is good. You know where people stand and you know who your real friends are,” Noth reflects, framing the fallout as a brutal but clarifying purge. Still, the sting of losing a friend he met on set in 1997 remains: “I just know if it had been on the other foot, I wouldn’t have done that.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Parker’s camp; Nixon and Davis have not commented on Noth’s latest remarks.
