According to Deadline, Noth issued a statement calling the incidents “consensual,” adding “the accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.” He recently starred in a Peleton commercial that also featured Ryan Reynolds as they gave a nod to an And Just Like That scene, but as soon as the accusations hit the internet, the ad was pulled.

The Daily Beast also reported on Beverly Johnson’s allegations against Noth back in 1995 as court documents allegedly detailed her version of events. According to the model, she dated Noth from 1990 to 1995, but when things went sour, Johnson stated the actor “beat her,” “vowed to kill her dog,” and called her “25 times a day.”
She also claimed that he would get angry if she spoke with other men and punched her “over and over. ” Johnson reportedly filed a restraining order against him because her family feared that Noth would kill her “if she didn’t take action.” Noth has not addressed those resurfaced documents.
