Chris Noth is setting the record straight on his viral social media reply that seemed to shade Sarah Jessica Parker. The former Sex and the City star says it was just a bit of sarcasm gone wrong. In a new Instagram post, he's dismissing the drama as overblown.
Oh, the SATC tea just keeps brewing! Chris Noth, the man behind Mr. Big, found himself in hot water this week after replying 'Right' to a cheeky comment on social media. The comment? 'You mean f-k sjp & her award right? lol' – all in response to a post about Sarah Jessica Parker snagging the Carol Burnett Award. For context, Noth had shared a post captioned 'F&k new years – LETS GO!!!!' Eyes emoji, anyone? 😏
The internet exploded, naturally, with fans wondering if this was lingering tension from their on-screen history. Remember, Noth and SJP co-starred in Sex and the City for years, and he even popped up briefly in And Just Like That... before those sexual assault allegations surfaced. Multiple women accused him of misconduct, which he has firmly denied, saying he did nothing wrong. Once the claims hit, Noth was swiftly cut from an episode of the revival series. The SATC ladies – that's SJP, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and the late Willie Garson – dropped a joint statement at the time, expressing shock and support for the accusers.
But Noth isn't letting the shade define him. On Wednesday, January 14, he took to Instagram to clarify: '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.' A source close to the story? Well, it's straight from Noth himself via People magazine. Messy much? Facepalm. 🙄
So, is this just Noth being petty, or a harmless joke that got lost in translation? In Hollywood, every like and reply is a potential headline – stay tuned, darlings.
