Chris Noth has emerged in public months after his shocking fall from grace.
The 67-year-old actor — who is known for his role as the infamous Mr. Big on Sex and the City — made headlines in December 2021 after multiple women came forward with sexual assault allegations against him.
Following backlash from the scandal, including getting axed from his show The Equalizer, Noth made a rare appearance over the weekend to treat his son to some ice cream in Los Angeles.
In the photos, Noth is seen walking hand-in-hand with his 2-year-old son, Keats — whom he welcomed with wife Tara Wilson in February 2020. The pair also shares 14-year-old son Orion.
Noth kept his attire casual for the outing, wearing a black jacket over a blue button down shirt, as well as a pair of sunglasses that rested on his forehead. His little tot was clad in a GAP sweatshirt and a pair of camo pants while holding a plush toy.
The father-son duo was seen leaving the Salt and Straw ice cream parlor in Studio City, Calif., on Sunday, March 6, after the doting dad stopped at Barnes and Noble to pick up some stuffed animals for his little one.
The sighting marks one of the few times Noth has been seen in public since being slammed with sexual assault allegations — which came to light following Noth's revival of his beloved character, who shockingly died of a heart attack in the first episode of the SATC reboot, And Just Like That…

Two women first broke their silence with claims that Noth sexually abused them on two separate occasions in 2004 and 2015. Shortly after, a third woman spoke out about an alleged incident involving Noth in 2010. Singer-songwriter Lisa Gentile also came forward, claiming to have been victimized by the actor in 2002.
After his alleged victims came forward, Noth immediately tried to do damage control by adamantly denying the claims lodged against him.
"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," his statement read at the time. "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."
Despite Noth backing himself, OK! learned the allegations caused a strain in his and Wilson's relationship, with the mother-of-two being seen multiple times sans her wedding band. She was also spotted sobbing in her car back in January, as reports that their marriage was "hanging by a thread" made their rounds.
