Chris Noth has been removed from the cast of crime drama series The Equalizer after sexual assault allegations were made against him.
The decision comes after Noth was accused of rape by two women in separate incidents in 2004 and 2015, respectively.
In a joint statement on Monday, CBS and Universal Television said: “Chris Noth will no longer film additional episodes of The Equalizer, effective immediately.”
Prior to the announcement about The Equalizer, Noth told The Independent in response to the claims: “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.
