"Sex and the City" stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis have spoken out about the allegations against their co-star Chris Noth.
The actor, known for playing Big on the series and its follow-up, "And Just Like That," has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault.
"We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth," read the trio's joint statement, shared on Instagram. "We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences."

The three women – as well as Kim Cattrall – starred alongside Noth in "Sex and the City" on HBO from 1998-2004, as well as two films from 2008 and 2010. He is currently appearing in "And Just Like That" on HBO Max alongside the ladies sans Cattrall, who chose not to return.
Noth, 67, was a vocal supporter of Parker, 56, during her fallout with Cattrall, 65. When asked about the feud by The Guardian earlier this year, Noth said he had "absolutely no idea what [Cattrall's] thinking is."
'LAW & ORDER' ACTRESS CLAIMS CHRIS NOTH WAS 'SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE' TOWARD HER ON SET
"I do know that I’m very close with SJ and [Cattrall’s] descriptions of her don’t even come close," he continued. "I liked her, I thought she was marvelous in the show and some people move on for their own reasons. I don’t know what hers were. I just wish that whole thing had never happened because it was sad and uncomfortable."

He added that he's "very protective" of Parker and "was not happy" to see anyone "talking down" about the actress.
In the hours before Parker, Nixon and Davis shared their statement, it was announced that Noth had been dropped from "The Equalizer" on CBS amid the allegations.
'SEX AND THE CITY' STAR CHRIS NOTH ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY TWO WOMEN

"The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false," a statement from Noth previously provided to Fox News Digital by his reps read. "These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual."
He added: "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."

A former "Law & Order" actor, Zoe Lister-Jones, also accused Noth of sexually inappropriate behavior while on the set of the procedural drama. A source close to Noth called Lister-Jones' allegations "entirely false." "To allege Chris was ever drunk on the set of ‘L&O’ is also completely false," the insider claimed.
Noth has additionally been dropped by his talent agency amid the allegations. Peloton also pulled an ad featuring the star.
