Chris Noth Breaks a Sweat: LA Gym Sighting Amid Feud Drama

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Noth Spotted Sweating Bullets After Taking Sides with Kim Cattrall Against Feuding Sarah Jessica Parker

It's been a scandal-ridden few years for actor Chris Noth, but it seems he's finally found a new lease on life – or at least that's what his publicist would have you believe. The 70-year-old former Sex and the City heartthrob was spotted leaving a gym in LA on Sunday, sporting a drenched grey New York Health and Racquet Club T-shirt that left little to the imagination.

We're told Chris, who has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct since 2021, was visibly nervous as he made his way back to his car. At one point, he appeared to adjust himself in his green shorts, leaving us wondering if this was a calculated move to draw attention away from the lingering scandal.

But what's really got tongues wagging is Chris' decision to publicly wish Kim Cattrall a happy 69th birthday on her Instagram post last Thursday. With only 3,841 likes on the comment, it seems Chris is trying to make amends with his former co-star after years of tension between them.

The drama began in 2018 when Kim took to Instagram to accuse Sarah Jessica Parker of faking concern over her brother's death. It was a bombshell revelation that left fans stunned – and raised more than a few eyebrows about the true nature of their on-set relationships.

But what really sets off the fireworks is Chris' history with both women. As the former love interest of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) in Sex and the City, his character's extramarital affair with Mr. Big was a central plot point for the show. And let's not forget that infamous scene where he spoonfed soup to the despondent author on her Mexican honeymoon – sans her flaky groom!

Yet behind the scenes, Chris has been at the center of multiple scandals. In 2021, two women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Although Chris denied all wrongdoing, claiming the encounters were consensual, he was promptly dropped by A3 Artists Agency and his character was killed off CBS' The Equalizer.

The fallout from the scandal saw many of his former co-stars distance themselves from him, including Sarah Jessica Parker, who admitted to not speaking to Chris since the allegations broke. "I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it," she told THR in 2022. But what's interesting is that Kim Cattrall seemed to take a more nuanced approach – or at least that's how we read it.

In an Instagram post last Wednesday, Kim 'liked' a comment from user @royal_j0j0, who praised her for carrying the franchise on her shoulders. It was a subtle nod to their complicated history, but also a clear sign that she's still got love and respect for Kim – even if she's not exactly singing Chris' praises.

As the drama unfolds, we can't help but wonder what really went down behind the scenes of Sex and the City. Did Kim Cattrall have a falling out with Sarah Jessica Parker over money or ego? And what role did Chris Noth play in all of it?

One thing's for sure: this is one drama-filled saga that's far from over.
