Yet another rift has opened up between the main cast members of hit 2000s fixture Sex and the City.
The long-running tension between leading ladies Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall has been well documented over the years, however it’s now a pointed remark from Parker’s on-screen love interest that’s raising eyebrows.
While they simmered on-screen with oodles of chemistry, it appears there is no love lost between the duo that brought us Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big – with Chris Noth opting to make a very public dig at his ex-co-star.
In an Instagram post, Noth gave fans a glimpse into how he had chosen to ring in the new year – in the gym.
The 71-year-old shared a photo of himself mid-workout, captioned “F&@k new years – LETS GO!!!!”
One fan responded in the comments, writing “You mean fcuk [Sarah Jessica Parker] & her award right? lol,” alluding to Parker receiving the coveted Carol Burnett Award.
This honorary award is bestowed by the Golden Globe Foundation for “outstanding contributions to television on or off the screen.”

Responding to the fan’s profane jab at the Golden Globes honouree, Noth simply replied “right.”
Noth’s fan-favourite character was controversially written out of the Sex and the City spin-off show, And Just Like That, after suffering a heart attack in the premiere episode.
Mr. Big was originally set to make a grand return in the season finale in a Paris-based fantasy sequence in which Carrie scattered his ashes – but this was not to be.
The scene was ultimately cut from the final edit, following a slew of sexual assault allegations made against the actor.

Two women went public with these allegations in 2021, claiming they were assaulted by the actor in 2004, and 2015 respectively.
Noth vehemently denied any wrongdoing at the time, claiming the encounters were consensual.
“The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false,” he said.
“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.”
There had reportedly been bad blood between Noth and his ex co-stars since news of the alleged sexual misconduct broke, with Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis releasing a statement in support of the victims soon after.
“We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth,” the actresses wrote in a joint statement shared to social media at the time.

“We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.”
Noth’s leading role in the 2021 revival of The Equalizer was also curtailed as a result of the allegations.
