Syracuse native Lisa Gentile has come forward as the fifth woman to publicly accuse “Sex and the City” actor Chris Noth of sexual assault.
Gentile, a 49-year-old singer-songwriter who won a SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Award) for Best Country Record in 2007, appeared in a virtual news conference Thursday with attorney Gloria Allred, alleging that Noth, 67, abused her at her apartment in New York City nearly two decades ago.
Gentile said she met Noth in 1998, when they were both regulars at Manhattan restaurant Da Marino Ristorante Italiano. They became acquaintances, she said, and he gave her a ride home in early 2002 and asked to see her apartment.
Gentile, who was 29 at the time, said she showed him the kitchen and offered him wine. He then leaned her against the countertop and started forcibly kissing her and shoving his hands under her shirt, groping her breasts. She tried to push his hands away, she said, but he pushed them towards his penis.
“He was slobbering all over me. I quickly became uncomfortable,” she said.
Gentile said she was able to escape his grasp and yelled “No, I don’t want this.” Noth allegedly became enraged, calling her a “tease” and a “bitch” before storming out of her apartment.
