Chris Noth Dropped from CBS's "The Equalizer" Following Sexual Assault Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actor Chris Noth has been dropped from the CBS drama "The Equalizer"
after being accused of sexual assault by at least three women in the
past week. Noth is best known for portraying the character of "Mr. Big"
in the HBO Max series "Sex and the City" and its sequel, which premiered
earlier this month. The show's debut triggered two of Noth's accusers to
come forward in a detailed story published by The Hollywood Reporter
last week. A third accuser then spoke to The Daily Beast. None of them
have revealed their real names. Noth has also been dropped by his talent
management firm, as well as the exercise equipment company Peloton,
which has pulled his ads.
