'And Just Like That' Star Chris Noth Faces Sexual Assault Allegations From 3rd Woman

A third woman has accused troubled "Sex and the City" actor Chris Noth of sexual assault for allegedly groping her at a restaurant in New York City more than a decade ago.

Just a day after two women came forward with allegations against the actor, a 30-year-old Canadian tech executive, who was identified only as Ava to protect her privacy, claimed that Noth repeatedly groped her while she was working as a hostess at the Da Marino restaurant in Manhattan in 2010 when she was 18 and he was 55, The Daily Beast reported.

Ava said she was initially glad to meet Noth, whom she claimed was always intoxicated when he came to the restaurant.

During one of his visits, however, she alleged that the actor repeatedly pulled her onto his lap while groping her and pressing her against "his erection." He also allegedly told her, "I love Canadian women."

"I remember how electrifying his hand, the hand I watched hold Carrie Bradshaw in 'Sex and the City,' felt grabbing me," Ava alleged.

She claimed Noth then followed her into the back office, where she'd been gathering her coat and envelope of cash at the end of her shift. Ava alleged that Noth began kissing her and pressing her against a desk before pulling down her tights and groping her.

"At first, it felt as though I was the only person in the universe who could hear me saying no," she said. "I was so hopeful that would be the end of it."

Ava claimed that Noth continued even as she kept telling him "no" and only stopped when she told him "not here," convincing him that she would meet him somewhere else.

Ava claimed she used the opportunity to escape the office and Noth, who allegedly told her he would send a car once he arrived at his apartment. However, she said she went home and never replied to Noth's alleged text messages.

Ava said she later told her employer of the alleged incident, but her boss allegedly told her Noth "would never be interested in someone as insignificant as [her]." She said she resigned shortly after.

The restaurant did not respond to requests for comment. Pasquale Marino, who owned Da Marino at the time, passed away in 2015, according to the Daily Beast.

The new allegation comes shortly after The Hollywood Reporter published two separate accounts of women accusing Noth of sexual assault. The women said Noth reprising his role as Mr. Big in the HBO Max series "And Just Like That..." motivated them to come forward.

One of the women, going by the pseudonym Zoe, alleged that Noth raped her at his Greenwich Village apartment in 2004 when she was 22. The second woman, who went by the name Lily, alleged that he attacked her in his home in 2015 when she was 25 and he was 60.

Noth, who met his wife Tara Wilson in 2001 and married her in 2012, has since denied all sexual assault allegations against him.

"The 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," Noth said in a statement to CNN.

In response to the third sexual assault allegation, Noth's publicist said in a statement to the Daily Beast that the actor "denies this as ever happening and has no idea who this woman is."

Peloton and Ryan Reynolds both removed all content mentioning Noth on social media shortly after the first allegations surfaced. Noth was also dropped as a client by talent agency A3 Artists Agency.
