Noth denied the allegations in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter and said, “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.
"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. The encounters were consensual.
"It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”
Additionally, LAPD says Noth is not under investigation "at this point" after allegations of sexual assault were made against him, according to .
Noth’s spokesperson told there was no comment on Gentile's recent claims.
The Sun US approached Noth’s spokesperson for a comment as well.
What do the women claim happened?
In 2004, Zoe was 22 when she moved to Los Angeles and got a job as an assistant for a high-profile firm where Noth regularly did business.
She claims the actor flirted with her and started leaving messages on her home phone even though she had not given him her number.
Noth eventually invited her to the pool at his West Hollywood apartment building where Zoe's friend also lived, and let her borrow a book. But upon returning the book later, Zoe claims he kissed her before pulling off her clothes and forcing himself on her.
“It was very painful and I yelled out, ‘Stop!’” Zoe said. “And he didn’t. I said, ‘Can you at least get a condom?’ and he laughed at me.”
“I realized there was blood on my shirt. I got out of there," Zoe said when it was over.
"I went to my friend’s apartment (in the same building). I walked right in and went to the bathroom and tried to get the blood out of my shirt. They wanted to know what happened. I said, ‘I just want to go home.’”
She said when she finally told her friend what happened, she insisted they go to Cedars-Sinai where she was given a rape kit and crisis counseling.
Ava, said she was working at a New York City restaurant, Da Marino, located on 49th street off of Times Square when she was allegedly assaulted by Noth in 2010.
According to her statements, she was 18 years old at the time.
At 1AM, the end of her shift, Ava went to collect her pay from the managers office, when the lights shut off behind her.
She recalls Noth making his way into the office where he began to kiss her and pull down her tights to penetrate her until he felt her tampon.
“At first, it felt as though I was the only person in the universe who could hear me saying no,” she shared with the Daily Beast.
“I was so hopeful that would be the end of it,” but instead, Noth allegedly continued to grope her. She used her arms and legs to push his body away from her.
She claims that the only way to make him leave was to convince him that she would meet him at his apartment in the city.
She reported her “limbs hurt in the morning.”
Noth “denies this as ever happening and has no idea who this woman is," according to his publicist.
It was years later, in a New York VIP lounge, when Lily said she encountered Noth for the first time in 2015.
She was 25 years old and when Noth asked her out, she said she was thrilled to be invited to dinner with the Mr. Big actor.
Lily said they met at Il Cantorini and had a few drinks before Noth invited her to his apartment.
“I thought, ‘We’re going to drink whiskey and talk about his acting career.’ It sounds so stupid," she said.
Lily said he started kissing her, and she regrets not firmly telling him "no" and leaving the apartment. She said she "cautiously entertained the kiss" but she claims he kept pressuring her, "And then the next thing I knew, (Noth) pulled down his pants and he was standing in front of me.”
She claims he shoved his male genitalia in her mouth before having non-consensual sex.
"I was kind of crying as it happened," she said. “I went to the bathroom and put on my skirt. I was feeling awful. Totally violated. All of my dreams with this star I loved for years were gone.”
Lisa Gentile, claims to have first Noth when she began frequenting Da Marino restaurant in NYC in 1998.
She claimed he was a "regular there and good friends with the owner, Pasquale Marino."
After becoming "acquaintances," he allegedly offered her a ride home late one night after hanging out at the restaurant.
"On a Saturday night in early 2002, we were all hanging out at Don Marino. Around midnight I was getting ready to leave. Chris offered me a ride home and I said okay. When we arrived to my apartment he asked if he could come up. I told him I had nothing to offer him to drink and he said that’s okay, he just wanted to see where I lived."
It was that night that she claims "he started kissing me almost right away. Then he leaned against the kitchen countertop and forcibly pulled me against him. He was slobbering all over me. I quickly became uncomfortable. Then he became more aggressive and put both hands on my breasts and began squeezing them very hard…"
"I finally managed to push him away and get out of his grasp and yelled “no, I don’t want this!”
"He became extremely angry and started screaming and calling me a “tease” and a “b****."
After he allegedly stormed out of her apartment that night, he called her apartment the next morning and "warned me that if I ever told a soul about what happened, the night before, that he would ruin my career, that I would never sing again, and that he would black list me in the business."
Why are the women speaking out now?
When the Sex and The City reboot was announced, Zoe and Lily said it brought back painful memories, and it was time to speak out.
The women said they did not file a lawsuit at the time of the sexual assault for fear of retaliation.
Zoe reached out to The Hollywood Reporter in October and said she wanted to speak out but was unsure how to get a hold of other potential "victims."
"Seeing that he was reprising his role in Sex and the City set off something in me,” Zoe said.
“For so many years, I buried it,” and she said now was the time “to try to go public with who he is.”

Gentile stated in her press conference with Allred that: "I was afraid to come forward because of Mr. Noth's power and his threats to ruin my career. I am speaking out now in support of the other four women who have courageously come forward before me. I feel that we should have our day in court to seek and hold Mr. Noth accountable for what he did..."
