Tara Wilson, Chris Noth’s nine-year-old wife was photographed yesterday for the first times after her husband was accused of rape. This explosive report has already had financial implications for the actor.
Last week, Noth, 67, was accused of rape by two women, who both shared details of their alleged assaults with The Hollywood Reporter — with one of the women saying she was just 22 when Noth, then 49, attacked her and left her needing stitches.
The report led another woman to come forward and accuse Noth of groping her, while actress Zoe Lister-Jones recalled behavior that made her describe him as a ‘predator’ — and he has since lost a planned $12 million deal to sell his tequila brand and was fired from the series The Equalizer.
According to reports, his wife of 42 years is very upset and not doing well. On Monday, he was seen getting into an SUV and driving out from their Sherman Oaks home.

Wilson was photographed outside of the house she shares with Noth wearing blue leggings and a puffer jacket in green.
Wilson, pictured earlier in the month with Noth was seen stepping into an SUV at their Sherman Oaks gated house in Los Angeles.
Wilson was seen outside her home with Noth in blue leggings and a puffer green coat. She also wore Ugg boots.
She appeared to be unaware that the camera was there and looked exhausted as she reached for her phone, then climbed in the car.
Wilson and Noth have two children together: Orion (13 years old) and Keats (18 months).
Wilson is pictured here for the first time since Thursday’s publication by The Hollywood Reporter about the allegation.
Noth denied the allegations of assaulting women. However, he did confess to having had sexual relations and described these as ‘consensual encounters’.
The Sun learned from a source that Wilson had been unaware that he was being sexually assaulted or consented to rape.
The source stated that although it is possible for him to be monogamous but we know his wife wasn’t aware.
He is actually guilty. She is in LA and is very upset… she’s not doing well. Their Christmas plans were to be together. However, it’s not clear if they will ever get that chance.
Noth was also told by a friend that Noth isn’t Weinstein and that his friends support him.
Wilson (42 years old) is said to be’very upset and ‘not doing very well’ after the report.
Noth strongly denied assaulting the women but admitted to having sexual relations with them. He described the encounters as “consensual encounters”.
A source claimed that he may have been non-monogamous. However, they established that his wife wasn’t aware.
Wilson, a Vancouver-born Noth first met in 2001. He was in his early 40s. She was only 20 years old. Wilson was a bartender at the New York jazz club The Cutting Room, which Noth co-owns.
Their first child was born in 2008. They got married in 2009. Orion, then four years old, served as the ring bearer. They welcomed their second son in 2020.
Wilson wasn’t made aware of her husband’s allegations before the publication. The Hollywood Reporter had reached Noth just before the publication of this article, giving him enough time to announce the story.
In the report, both of Noth’s accusers — who went by pseudonyms Zoe, now 40, and Lily, now 31 — claimed that he raped them from behind in front of a mirror. Noth reportedly committed the first attack in 2004. The second occurred three years later, in 2015.
Both women claimed that the recent publicity surrounding the Sex and the City reboot ‘stirred painful memories’ of their encounters with Noth and ‘triggered’ them to go public with their claims.
Wilson, a Vancouver native, met Noth in 2001. He was in his thirties and she was just beginning her twenties. Wilson was the bartender at The Cutting Room in New York, where Noth is co-owner.
In 2008 the couple had their first child. They got engaged in 2009 and were married in Hawaii in 2012. The couple welcomed their second child in 2020. (Photo taken in 2002).
Wilson may not have been aware of her husband’s allegations before the publication.
Zoe first claimed that Noth met her while working in an entry-level role at a well-known firm where Noth, and other famous celebrities, had regular business. She claimed that the actor — who was then at the height of his Sex and the City fame and, according to Zoe’s then-boss was seen as a ‘god’ by her and colleagues — began flirting with her in the office.
Noth and Wilson had been together for three years. However, according to Zoe, Noth began leaving ‘flirty’ messages on her voicemail — which she was alerted to by her boss.
Zoe claimed she was raped in Noth’s West Hollywood apartment by Noth after she returned a book that he had loaned her.
After she came through the front door, he moved her to his bedroom and took off her bottoms. Before raping her, he said that he had ‘kissed’ her.
She also claimed that the actor did not use protection, that he ‘laughed at her’ when she asked him to get a condom — and that she was left bleeding after the assault, and had to go to the hospital to get stitches.
It was extremely painful, and I shouted “Stop!” According to her, she shared this with THR. ‘And he didn’t. He didn’t. I replied, “Can we at least get condoms?” He laughed at me.
The Hollywood Reporter reported explosive accusations about Noth on Thursday. It included two claims by women that Noth had raped them.
A woman claims that Noth attacked her in Noth’s Greenwich Village Apartment (pictured), and that she was raped from her back in front of the mirror.
“I needed stitches.” Two police officers were there. I wouldn’t say who it was,’ she says, claiming that she feared she would ‘not be believed’ and could ‘be fired’ if she publicly accused Noth of rape.
Noth’s second accuser, Lily, who is now working as a journalist, told a similar story to THR, alleging that the actor raped her in his home in Greenwich Village after they struck up a flirty relationship while she was working as a server at former New York nightclub No.8 in 2015, when she was 25.
Lily claimed she was star struck when he first began to “hit on” her and that they ended up going together to a restaurant.
Afterward, Noth invited her back to his home to ‘sample his collection of whiskeys’ — and says he began trying to ‘make out with her’ when they got there.
She said that she should not have spoken more strongly and had to leave.
The actor told her she was lying when she said that she’d mentioned his wife and children, and then she claimed that Noth had explained that marriage is fake and monogamy isn’t true. Lily said that Noth then sexually assaulted her behind while she was sitting in a chair before a mirror.
Zoe Lister Jones, who published the report, described Noth’s behavior as that of a sexual predator.
Lister-Jones, in an Instagram post on Thursday said that she was relieved by Big’s passing because she recalls him as being “consistently sexually inappropriate” with a woman promoter.
“He was having sexual relations with me, from my back in a recliner chair. The mirror was in front of us. She said that she was almost crying during the incident.
Lily stated that Lily was assaulted and then went to the restroom.
She said, “All of my childhood dreams and all the years I spent with this star were lost,”
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s statement, Noth acknowledged that he had “consensual encounters” with both women. However, he strongly denied that he attacked them.
According to the statement, “The allegations against me that I was made falsely by persons whom I had met many years ago, or decades ago, are absolutely false.”
‘These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. These encounters were consensual.
‘It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.’
Though Officer Drake Madison of the LAPD initially told Deadline on Thursday that ‘there is no investigation at this point’ into the claims against Noth, an LAPD spokesperson later told People that they are ‘looking into the nature of the report’ and trying to figure out ‘when, where or even if a report was filed.’
Also, she recalled her guest staring in Law and Order: Criminal Intent and he sniffing at her hair.
Her statement ended with a cursing of Noth’s character in Sex and the City. She claimed that he took advantage of the opportunity to seduce women.
Officer Madison said, however, that there is no record of any report having been filed. A report is not required for an investigation.
Late on Thursday, actress Zoe Lister-Jones also detailed her encounters with the embattled actor, claiming that he was ‘sexually inappropriate’ to women who worked at a New York City club he owned, and sniffed her neck while drunk on set of the detective show.
“Last week my friend asked me how it felt about Mr. Big’s passing on And Just Like That. I replied honestly that I felt relieved,” she posted on Instagram.
“He asked me why. I explained that it was because I couldn’t distinguish the actor from his man. The man is a predator sexually,” she said, before describing some of her own experiences.
A third woman, then 18, accused Chris Noth in sexual assault. She allegedly groped her in a Manhattan restaurant when she was 18.
The unnamed 30-year-old Canadian tech executive claimed Noth, then 55, groped her while she was working as a hostess at the Da Marino restaurant in Midtown, the Daily Beast first reported.
Noth, who was allegedly intoxicated and telling Noth, “I love Canadian women,” as he forced her to sex with him, arrived at her door.
Ava stated, “I recall how electrifying his hands, the one I saw hold Carrie Bradshaw’s in Sex and the City,”
After she claimed Noth, Noth followed her to the back office where she began to kiss her and press her against a desk.
According to her, he had pulled her tights down and touched her. She claimed that her legs hurt after she pushed and kicked him away.
According to her, she said that it felt like she was the only person who could understand me when I was saying no.
The actor felt her tampon, she said. She then asked her when her period was over before continuing to grope her.
Ava protested, but Noth continued to allegedly tell him “not here”, convincing him they could continue somewhere else.
“I can’t shake the memories of the way the kitchen staff looked on me when I walked out of the office with Chris,’ she stated.
Noth’s publicist told the Daily Beast that the actor ‘denies this as ever happening and has no idea who this woman is.’
