What Does Queen Latifah Have To Say About Concerning Allegations Against Chris Noth?
"Sex and the City" actor Chris Noth is facing more consequences for his alleged sexual misconduct. The actor was accused by numerous women of sexual assault. This revelation has caused Noth to lose his roles in the "Sex and the City" reboot, "And Just Like That," and "The Equalizer" (via The Daily Beast).
Noth was removed from the CBS show in late December, with the network releasing a statement simply stating that "Chris Noth will no longer film additional episodes of 'The Equalizer,' effective immediately." Now, one of his co-stars from "The Equalizer" is now sharing her thoughts.
Queen Latifah revealed her thoughts about the situation to People. "It's still surreal. It is such a dicey, delicate situation that requires a great deal of respect," she said. "That's a personal thing that he's going to have to deal with."
She also addressed how the show will continue on without Noth, noting that some scenes that may need to be replaced. "Chris's character's obviously a big part of the show and it was amazing chemistry, amazing chemistry," Latifah said. "And my feeling is justice has to prevail regardless. I just want the right things to be done, you know?"
Other actors and actresses have addressed Chris Noth's sexual assault allegations.
Queen Latifah isn't the only star who has spoken about Noth's actions. Cynthia Nixon, another one of Noth's costars, recently discussed how the "Sex and the City" reboot will continue now that Noth was removed from the finale.
Like Latifah, Nixon agrees that it was the right decision to remove him from the show and that she believes the producers have properly addressed his missing appearance. "I think we were very lucky that those changes were able to be made," Nixon said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "And I think we are very proud of our show."
Noth was accused of sexual misconduct shortly after the "Sex and the City" reboot premiered. Two women — both using pseudonyms — described being assaulted by the actor. A few weeks later, a third woman came forward as well, per The Daily Beast.
As a result, Noth was dropped by several brand partnerships and acting roles. He continues to deny the allegations against him.
