He did not address her allegations at the time.
Now, Noth is speaking on the record about the allegations for the first time with the media.
“You’re not hurting anybody.
No one’s going to know about this, you know, and sex is just enjoyable.
And suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you.
It’s like, ‘Well, I’m not going to get this chance again.'”
“It’s a salacious story, but it’s just not a true one.
And I can’t just say ‘Well, OK, that’s it for me’ because of that.
I’m an actor.
I have other things that I want to do creatively.
And I have children to support.
I can’t just rest on my laurels.
Noth emphasized that studios and creators are now fearful of working with him because of potential blowback.
“People are afraid of all this,” he noted.
“Fear is the overriding operative word when it comes to whether they believe it or not.
I have to just continue on.
It’s rough, because people are scared, and their fear leads them.
And I have to just persevere because I still have a creative life.”
“That’s a money train for a lot of people,” he said.
“It sounds defensive.
There’s no criminal court.
There’s no criminal trial.
There’s nothing for me to get on the stand about and get my story out, get witnesses.
And there’s even more absurd add-ons that are completely ridiculous, that have absolutely no basis in fact.
EW has reached out to Noth’s representatives for additional comment.
