Noth's bitter streakcame into viewafter Parker received the Carol Burnett Award at theGolden Globes' specialGolden Evetelevised ceremony in January. Noth shared an unrelated post on Instagram that showed him lifting weights. "F&@k new years - LETS GO!!!!" he wrote in his caption.
A commenter then turned his focus toward Parker. "You mean f‑‑‑ sjp & her award right? lol" the user wrote. Noth then responded, "Right."
Nothaddressed the commentin a subsequent post. "My off the cuff slightly sarcastic response to a comment on the internet seems to have caused a tempest in a teapot," the actorwrote. "It is not news. It is not worth all this discussion. It is a waste of time in a world where there are more important things to worry about."

"We're not friends, I think that's pretty obvious," Noth said, citing Parker'sjoint statementwith Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis that condemned his alleged misconduct.

"The statement that they put out — which was nothing more than brand management, really — I don't know, it was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising, because you need to call me and hear my side of this," Noth said. "And you've known me for many years, and we've worked [together] for many years. And that didn't happen."

The actor acknowledged that he understood the motivations to publicly side with his accusers. "I get it, that's more Hollywood than Hollywood," he said. "But before you make that statement, you know me, you've known me all these years, give me a call so I can give you the real scoop about this. And that didn't happen, and that was too bad."
