Zoe Lister-Jones accuses Chris Noth of being "a sexual predator"

TheWrap

The former Life in Pieces star is not the "Zoe" who accused Noth in The Hollywood Reporter's story on two women who alleged the actor sexually assaulted them. But in an Instagram post, Lister-Jones says she witnessed Noth being "sexually inappropriate." “Last week my friend asked me how I felt about Mr. Big’s death on And Just Like That, and I said, honestly, I felt relieved," Lister-Jones wrote. "He asked why and I told him it was because I couldn’t separate the actor from the man, and the man is a sexual predator. My friend was alarmed at my word choice. And to be honest, so was I. I hadn’t thought of this man for so many years, and yet there was a virility to my language that came from somewhere deep and buried. In my twenties I worked at a club in NY that Chris Noth owned and on the few occasions he would show up, he was consistently sexually inappropriate with a fellow female promoter. That same year I was a guest star on Law and Order and it was his first episode after returning as a detective after SATC. He was drunk on set." Lister-Jones guest-starred on a 2005 episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which was Noth’s first appearance as Detective Mike Logan in the Law & Order franchise since 1998’s Exiled: A Law & Order Movie.

• LAPD says "there is no investigation at this point" into one of the Chris Noth sexual assault allegations: Deadline says that "law enforcement sources informed us that the report had led to the beginning stages of a probe into the actor’s alleged actions. Now those well-positioned sources say that Zoe, as she was identified in The Hollywood Reporter story revealing the claims against Noth, spoke with police but did not actually file a formal report. With no formal report filed to the authorities, an investigation was not triggered."
• Peloton explains why it deleted Chris Noth's viral And Just Like That response ad: “Every single sexual assault accusation must be taken seriously,” a Peloton spokesperson said. “We were unaware of these allegations when we featured Chris Noth in our response to HBO’s reboot. As we seek to learn more, we have stopped promoting this video and archived related social posts.” The viral ad was also deleted from producer Ryan Reynolds' Twitter account.
