Sarah Jessica Parker has spoken out personally about the allegations of sexual assault against Chris Noth.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Parker said that she hasn't spoken to Noth since he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women in December 2021.

The Hollywood Reporter previously published two women's accounts of two separate incidents of sexual assault involving Noth in 2004 and 2015, respectively. Since then, Noth has been accused by three more women of sexual assault and misconduct.

When asked how she reacted to the allegations "as a producer" of "And Just Like That," Parker told The Hollywood Reporter that she didn't.

"I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it, but I don't think … I wasn't reacting as a producer. I should have worked on this because I'm just … it's just …," Parker said, trailing off.

When asked whether she has "spoken to him since then," Parker simply replied that she had not.

In a statement to Insider in December, Noth denied the allegations, calling them "categorically false" and said that the encounters he had with the women who had accused him were consensual.

Noth also questioned the "timing" of the allegations coming out — his lone episode of "And Just Like That..." was released on December 9, a week before THR's report was published.

"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," he told The Hollywood Reporter.

After the allegations were made public, Parker and her two "And Just Like That" costars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis released a joint statement.

"We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth," the three actresses wrote via Instagram Stories on December 20. "We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it."

Us Weekly also reported that, according to a source, Parker was "livid" about the allegations and felt "blindsided."

"She is fiercely protective of Carrie Bradshaw... It is not about the money, but rather her legacy. Carrie was all about helping women and now, under her watch, women are saying that they have been hurt," the source told Us Weekly.

"She takes the power of being Carrie Bradshaw very seriously," the source added. "With great power comes great responsibility and although SJP knows this is about him, not her, she feels like she has let everyone down."
