This article contains a description of sexual violence.

"and JUST LIKE THAT..." finally began to be released, the heated topic of "gender and the City (SATC)" sequel "AND JUST LIKE THAT..." / New Chapter on gender and cities. Here, The Hollywood Reporter (THR) magazine reported that two women testified that actor Chris North had been sexually assaulted over several years.

The two women told THR that North decided to take advantage of the promotion of the TV series, which played the role of Mr. Big again, as an opportunity to get ahead.

Of the two, Zoe (pseudonym, 40) was in Los Angeles in 2004, and Lily (pseudonym, 31) confessed to being sexually assaulted in New York in 2015. It is reported that the two women did not know each other and went to THR during their departure for several months.

Lily, who is now a journalist, sent an email to THR in August 2021, saying: "I don't know how to confess such stories and how to find other victims."

On the other hand, Zoe, who works in show business, contacted THR in October while she was afraid of the impact on her work. "I saw him re-play the role of 'SATC',' and there was something going on about him," Zoe said. "I've been sealing this up for years." he said, "now is the time to reveal his true identity."

North told THR: "for many years, the people I met decades ago seemed to blame me. It was completely false." "No" does not always mean "no", and even if these testimonies were from 30 years ago or 30 days ago, I would not cross that line. My relationship with the woman I met is agreed. "

I have to be skeptical about the timing of these stories being made public. It is not clear why they did not reveal the story until now, but it is true that I am the only one who did not attack them. "the statement said.

Zoe told THR that he worked as a new employee at a well-known company at the age of 22, when he met North at the company. She told the company's former boss that she remembered that North came to her desk and left a "kind of chick" voicemail on her phone.

Once, North invited Zoe to her home in West Hollywood. Zoe took his friends, who said he remembered North and Zoe sitting together in the Jacuzzi. And North handed Zoe a book and asked him to bring it to his room when he finished reading it because he wanted advice.

Zoe visited North's room to return the book. He kissed her as she walked into the room. She kissed back reluctantly and then said, "Thank you." I'll go back to my friends. "but North said he pulled her to bed, took off his shorts and bikini, and raped her.

Zoe said, "it hurts too much." stop it! "I shouted. But he didn't try to give up. "at least put on a condom," he told THR. "I smiled at me."

The friend who visited with Zoe recalled that Zoe looked strange when he came back. "she went to the dressing room right away," said the friend who is now working as a child psychologist in Boston. "and then, when he came out from there, it looked pretty cold and kind of cool. She is a very sociable, compassionate and friendly person, so the change reflects strangely. "

The friend took Zoe to Cedas-Senai Hospital. Zoe said he had been abused by the hospital staff, but he was afraid that the company would be fired or could not be believed. He did not disclose the name of the culprit (THR asked the hospital about it. It is said that the records for 2004 were not retained).

Her former boss told THR that Zoe called the other day to ask her about North's atrocities, but was asked not to blurt it out to anyone (Zoe doesn't remember the conversation).

"I think I was driving behind where Soho is now, and it was so terrible that I stopped the car."she was very upset and shocked. I'm shocked, too. I don't know how to give it to you. "

It is reported that Zoe then received counseling at the rape Claysis Center at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2006. He told THR that although he received several months of counseling, he had been sealing the memory for many years.

Meanwhile, Lily told THR that he had met North for the first time while working in the VIP section of No.8, a closed New York nightclub, and had been invited to a dinner date at the famous Italian restaurant Ilcantinori.

Lily, a fan of SATC, remembers that the restaurant was the location location for Carrie Brad's 30th birthday party. "I look forward to him from the bottom of my heart," she said. "he is really chasing me, which is flattery and happy. I know he's married, and I'm ashamed to admit it, "he commented.

During the date, she talked about her career as a journalist or asked him if he wanted to be in the third film in the movie version of SATC. Later, he said he invited her to his apartment.

"I'm not active about sex, I'm not wild, I'm not crazy."I just want to talk about his career as an actor while drinking whiskey. Now it seems so stupid. "

Lily said in his apartment: "he kept telling me that I was also very vigilant in enjoying the place." Because he is old and looks very old. He approached many times, so I strongly refused and left the scene. Then the next moment, he put down his pants and stood in front of me, "said Lily, and North later put the man in her mouth. When she pointed out to North that he was married and had children, he replied, "monogamy is not realistic."

"he sat in a chair in front of the mirror and made love from behind, and I cried during that time." after that, he said, "I went to the bathroom and put on my skirt. It felt bad. It was completely violated. My dreams for the star I have loved for many years have collapsed.

Lily's friend Alex recalled that when Lily called from her Uber on her way home, she was "hysterical." The next day, "she said," I was just overreacting, so forget it. "Yes, Alex said Lily was trying to keep the incident to a minimum.

In addition, Alex told THR that he heard the voicemail that North left for Lily. "it says," I hope you don't feel bad about what happened last night. I had a good time yesterday. However, Alex explained, "I want to make sure you've received anything bad." Alex explained, "I know you've done something bad, but I don't seem to be a big deal."

But Lily remembered the voicemail in a different way. "I had a very good time," he said in his voicemail. I'm really glad if you don't tell your friends about it. If you only have two secrets, that would be great. "

THR confirmed that Lily and North's emails were exchanged in March and April 2015. In an article, North wrote: "anyway, I want to know if you enjoyed your night with me last week."I'm happy, but I don't know how you feel."

Lily said to this, "well, I am really happy with you." Had a wonderful conversation. Although I can't say it in a text message, I feel a little taken advantage of. It may be a good call, but now I can't talk. "

Taking this accusation as an opportunity, other women may also have a voice, and the movement of the northward transfer has also attracted people's attention.
