On Thursday, a fourth woman gave evidence to support Chris Noth’s claims of sexual abuse against Sex and the City actor.
Lisa Gentile, 54 years old, says she was’sexually molested’ by the actor when she visited Da Marino’s restaurant back at the beginning of 2000s. There she met Noth and they became friends.
In a statement she stated that Noth had gone up to her apartment to ask her where her family lives. However, once she was upstairs, she claimed that he began to kiss her and pulled her towards him.
Then, he squeezed her breasts before slipping his arms underneath his shirt.
She said that he kept pulling her shirt up and pushing my hands down.
Gentile claimed that she had finally been able to get him off. After which Gentile began calling Gentile a “tease” and a “bitch.”
She said that Noth phoned her friend the next day and told her she was going to blacklist her if she revealed what had happened.
Gloria Allred, her attorney claims the experience was “traumatic” for Gentile. She noted: “It had a very severe emotional impact on me.”
According to her website she has maintained her success as a singer-songwriter, and signed a Dreamworks production contract. She also noted that she’s ‘not afraid’ to talk about her #metoo experiences from major producers and venue owners (that are not named by choice), in her rock forward single Guys Like You.
Gentile claimed that, although she felt afraid about coming forward for 20 years due to her past experiences with sexual assaults by Noth, the inspiration to do so came from four other women who had also been abused by Noth.
Gentile stated, “I feel that we should have our day at court,”

However, she can’t bring any suit against him as the statute has run its course.
Allred stated that the courthouse doors were closed in her face. She was urging the passing of the Adult Survivors Act which would enable women to sue their abusers.
The City and Sex Costars of Noth were asked to endorse the legislation by Gentile, which would enable him to file a lawsuit against them.
Allred stated that she was contacted by three of the other women who had previously accused the Sex and the City actor sexual assault.
One of the other women claimed the actor groped her when she was working as a hostess and lounge singer at the Midtown Manhattan restaurant Da Marino in 2010. Noth was 55 at the time. She was then 18 years old.
He claimed that he had been drinking at the restaurant all day and pulled her on his lap repeatedly while touching her.
Another two women, using the pseudonyms Zoe, now 40, and Lily, now 31 telling the Hollywood Reporter on December 17 that the actor raped them.
According to the report, both the accused claimed Noth had sex in secret with them behind closed doors in front of mirrors. The first attack was in 2004, and the second in 2015. This occurred three years after Noth married Tara Wilson with whom he now has two children.
The two women both also allege that the attacks took place in one of Noth’s homes – the first in his Los Angeles apartment and the second in his New York City property – after the actor invited them over.
According to both women, the Sex and the City reboot and Just Like That has triggered painful memories about their past encounters with Noth. Noth is a shock victim of Mr. Big’s sudden death.
The accuser, who used the pseudonym Zoe to describe her encounter with Noth in 2004, said that she met Noth when she was working as an intern at a prominent firm where Noth (and other stars) had business.
According to her, the actor was at the peak of Sex and the City fame and was, according Zoe’s former boss, seen as a god by them and their colleagues. She began flirting in the office with the actress.
Noth’s most famous role is as Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) love interest John James ‘Mr. Sex and the City and Now its Spin-Off Big Preston
Noth was dating Wilson since 2001. Wilson had previously been with Noth for three years. The couple met at The Cutting Room in New York, where Wilson worked as a bartender.
Zoe claims that the actor started leaving flirty messages on Zoe’s voicemail, which was noticed by her boss.
According to THR’s boss, she confirmed her knowledge of the messages. However, she stated that it seemed strange to the actor reach out to her young employee.
Zoe claimed that Noth raped her in West Hollywood when she was only 22 years old. He was then 49. Unnamed friends confirmed the visit to the pool. They recalled sitting in the jacuzzi together while Noth went back to their apartment for a phone call.
According to her, Noth asked her to bring the book back to him and told her that he would ‘love for her to tell his thoughts’.
Zoe went to Noth’s home to hand the book back. Zoe says Noth “kissed” her right away as soon she walked in the door. But she later revealed that she didn’t feel initially bothered by her kiss.
But she claims Noth pulled her towards himself, moved her onto his bed, and then removed her bottoms and bikini underwear, before they raped her from behind while they were looking at a mirror.
Also, she claimed the actor had not used protection. He allegedly ‘laughed’ at her when she requested a condom.
It was extremely painful, and I shouted “Stop!” According to her, she shared this with THR. ‘And he didn’t. He didn’t. I asked him, “Can you get at least a condom?” He laughed at me.
She claims that after the assault she went back to Noth’s apartment. There she tried to clean the blood from her shirt. Then, her friends urged her to visit Cedars-Sinai where she reported to hospital staff her assault.
“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.
Zoe does not believe Noth was assaulted or raped, but she claims that she did talk to several people about the attack, including her boss, who said THR that Zoe called her after the alleged sexual assault and informed her Noth had attacked.
According to Zoe, her boss, who is now deceased, said Zoe was upset and in shock during the call. She relayed details about the horrible incident but she insists that Zoe not reveal it.
“I was 25 when I did it. It was overwhelming. I didn’t know what to do,’ the unnamed woman said.
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.
They both claimed to have been inspired by the publicity around the Sex and the City sequel And Just Like That.
Noth’s character Mr. Big succumbed to a heart attack during the premiere episode of the new reboot
Noth was 60 and was married to his wife of three years. The couple had one son together, Orion who was born in 2008. Keats was their second child, which they had together in 2020.
Describing herself as a long-time fan of the actor – whom she knew from his days starring in Law & Order, as well as his role on Sex and the City – Lily says she was ‘truly star-struck’ when he began ‘hitting on her’.
“He was hitting me for sure. He was very kind to me. “I knew that he was married. It is embarrassing of me to admit,” she stated.
Lily says that Noth approached her for her number and asked her for her date. She then invited her to join her for dinner at Il Cantinori in Rome, which was featured in an episode on Sex and the City.
The kitchen was closed when the pair first met. Lily says that they had wine at the bar and then discussed Noth’s lack of interest to be in the third Sex and the City movie.
Lily acknowledges that she “had too many to drink” but insists that it was not a serious problem when she went to Greenwich Village with actor Michael Jackson to sample some of his whiskeys.
Although the woman claims she is not super sexually active, she says that she doubted that he would ever try to have sex. Instead she said that she thought that they would just ‘drink whiskey and discuss his acting career.
Lily claims that they listened to music together and talked about the actor’s art collection. Then he tried to get ‘intimacy’ with Lily.
She admitted she had ‘cautiously entertained him’, but she said that she was nervous because he looked older than she and was “older”.
Lily claims that he was more assertive as time passed, and that he “kept trying, trying, and trying.”
She said that she should not have spoken more strongly and she left. He claimed to be standing next to her and had pulled her down, then he ‘thrust his penis into her mouth.
According to her, she said that Noth had mentioned that they were married with a child and that the actor told her that marriage was a fraud and that monogamy isn’t real. Lily says that Noth then sexually assaulted her behind while she was sitting in front of the mirror.
“He was having sex from behind me in a chair. The mirror was in front of us. “I was actually crying when it occurred,” she said.
Lily claims that after the assault, Lily went to the toilet and changed her clothes. She claimed she felt ‘awkward’ and was ‘totally violated.
She added, “All my fantasies with the star that I had loved for so many years were over,”
Lily said that while in Uber, she talked to Alex (THR) on the phone. Alex informed Lily about Noth’s sex and told her she acted ‘pretty violently’. She refused to phone the police despite her friend telling Lily.
Alex, Lily’s friend and confidante confirmed the story to the newspaper. She claimed she had listened to Noth’s voicemail on Lily’s phone following the incident.
According to Alex, Noth said in the message: ‘Hey, hope you didn’t take anything wrong last night. We had a lot of fun. Just want to make sure you didn’t take it the wrong way.’
However Lily offered a different recollection of the message, claiming that Noth told her: ‘I had a nice time and would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk to your girlfriends. It would be wonderful if we could keep it between us.
Lily, the second female claim that Noth attacked her Greenwich Village apartment. She met Lily while working in a restaurant.
Lily claims that she used to work as a server for the VIP section at New York’s No. 8 (pictured), has since been closed by Noth.
Lily also gave The Hollywood Reporter text messages between Noth and herself in March 2015 and April 2015. The actor asked Lily whether she enjoyed their evening last week, and Lily replied that he thought it was great fun, but wasn’t sure what her feelings.
The outlet reported that Lily replied she enjoyed it. [Noth’s]She said she was ‘feeling slightly used’ and that company is not hers, but suggested that they carry on their conversation over the telephone.
Noth proposed that the couple meet again, sending messages to her suggesting they have a drink and saying that it didn’t need to be at her place even though he had the best whiskey.
In another message seen by THR, Noth reportedly asked Lily: ‘Oh mysterious one… where did you go.’
Lily claims she was willing to meet him at dinner one time, but then decided not to go.

Following their revelations in the Hollywood Reporter story, a third woman, actress Zoe Lister-Jones detailed her encounters with the embattled actor in an Instagram post, 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 Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
She began the statement by the actress who is best known for her role in Life in Pieces: “Last week my friend asked me what I thought about Mr. Big’s passing on And Just Like That. I replied honestly that I felt relieved,” she wrote. This was in reference to Noth’s roles on Sex and the City and its spinoff.
He asked me why. I explained that I couldn’t tell the actor apart from the male, as the latter is a sexual predator.
“My friend was shocked at my choice of words. To be fair, I was also alarmed at my word choice.
“I had not thought about the man for so long, but there was something deep in my vocabulary that brought out a virile quality.”
In an Instagram post, Lister Jones said that she was relieved by Chris Noth’s death on And Just Like That. She said it because she recalls Noth being “consistently sexually indecent” with a woman promoter and sniffing her hair while she was guest staring on Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
Lister Jones explained, “In my twenties I worked at New York’s Chris Noth club and, on the few occasions that Chris would appear, he was constantly sexually indecent with a female promoter.”
The same year I also appeared as a guest star of Law and Order. This was the first time he returned to Law and Order as a detective since “SATC.”
In her statement she claimed that he was drunk while on-set. She also noted: “During my interrogation scene he kept a 22 ounce beer under his table. He would then drink it in between takes.
In one breath, he came to my side, sniffed me neck, and said, “You smell nice.”
“I did not say anything.” My club friend never spoke. This is rare.
“Part of being a woman is knowing how to manage yourself in such situations,” she said.
“In negating their effect as a way of survival. The feelings associated with transgressions we were taught to avoid is an acceptable way of dealing.
“My experience is small in comparison with the stories of violence that have been bravely shared today.
All women have to carry the burden of navigating predation at every level. There is almost no accountability or consequence.
‘Chris Noth capitalized on the fantasy that women believe Mr. Big represented,’ she alleged, concluding: ‘F*** Mr. Big.’
Lister-Jones was a guest star on Law and Order: Criminal Intent 2005. This episode, entitled Diamond Dogs, marked Noth’s first return to the series after the initial run of Sex and the City.
She didn’t specify which club Noth claims she was sexually inappropriate at. Page Six claims that Noth is co-owner of The Cutting Room, Manhattan. She was also an investor at The Plumm.
Her experiences, she said, were not as significant as the others against Noth reported Thursday.
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.
Chris Noth now insists that he has not raped nor sexually assaulted any women. He also expressed his desire to spend Christmas with his children and wife, and he was seen walking near his Berkshires house, just two days after her Los Angeles photo without her wedding band.
The actor aged 67 was seen in Massachusetts, where he met with a photographer to again refute sexual assault claims made by two women. Their allegations were detailed in an explosive article in The Hollywood Reporter.
Noth replied, “You’ve got my statement correct?” The truth is that my statement has been made. My statement is what I’m capable of giving.
Noth said that he had not been accused of sexually assaulting two women. However, he acknowledged to having ‘consensual conversations’ with both, which were believed to have occurred while he was still in a relationship to Tara Wilson.
The photographer asked Noth if he was innocent until proven guilty. Noth replied, “Well, yes, but that’s how it is,” before adding that he hopes that Noth will be able to enjoy the holiday season with his nine-year-old wife and their sons.
After flashing a smile at the camera and making a peace gesture, he then walked off. The outing took place just two days after Wilson (42), was photographed leaving Sherman Oaks without her wedding band. This was 2,800 miles from Noth’s home.
The accusations against Noth are said to have left the actor’s wife, Tara Wilson, devastated, with sources saying that she is ‘very upset’ and planning to spend Christmas away from her husband, with whom she shares two sons.
DailyMail.com released exclusive photos of Wilson (42), outside her Sherman Oaks family home, California. Wilson was not wearing her wedding ring, almost 3,000 miles from Berkshires where she is staying.
Wilson and Noth are parents to Orion, 13 years, and Keats 18 months.
Another woman also accused him of touching her. A $12 million contract to sell his Tequila brand was lost and he was terminated from The Equalizer.
Chris Noth doubled down his denials of the allegations that he sexually assaulted and raped two women as he was walking near his Berkshire summer home on Wednesday
Noth, aged 67, said nothing when asked to comment further on the issue. The statement I made is done, and I stand by it. Now, let’s see what happens. This is all that I have to say.
Tara Wilson Wilson, his wife was seen in an SUV leaving the Sherman Oaks family gate. It wasn’t apparent that she was wearing her wedding band.
Noth denied the allegations of assaulting women. However, he did confess to having had sexual relations and described these as ‘consensual encounters’.
Whether or not the incidents were rape or consensual, a source told The Sun that Wilson was caught unawares that he was having anything to do with other women.
The source stated that although it is possible for him to be monogamous but we know his wife wasn’t aware.
“If anything, that is what he is doing. She is in LA and is very upset… she’s not doing well. The couple had planned to celebrate Christmas together, but it is not yet known.
A friend of Noth’s also stated that Noth is not a Weinstein actor and that all his friends support him.
Tuesday evening’s Sex and the City star, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon made a statement regarding the allegations that were levelled against Chris Noth.
“We are proud of the brave women who shared their difficult experiences. It must have been difficult for them to share their experiences and we applaud them.
