In 2021, "Sex and the City" will be revived with a high profile, and it will be restarted with the new drama "And Just Like That...". North was also invited to play the role of "Mr. Big" again. However, at the end of the year, he broke out in a sexual assault scandal, so this character also received a lunch box under the arrangement of the screenwriter, and bid farewell to the stage of "Sex and the City" completely.

At that time, shortly after the broadcast of "Just Like This...", two women first stated that they were sexually harassed by North in 2004 and 2015 respectively, but he denied this and said that they had obtained the consent of the other party in advance. , belonging to mutual affection.

In this way, he lost the opportunity to continue to act in "Just Like This...", many of the advertisements he represented were withdrawn, and he was also removed from the American drama "The Wronged Man" he was performing.

This week, North accepted an interview with "USA Today". He still denied the above allegations of sexual assault; but on the other hand, he also admitted that he was really sorry for his wife Tara (Tara Wilson) ). Tara, who is 25 years younger than him, originally worked in a bar under North's name. He entered into a marriage contract with North in 2012, and his youngest son was just born in 2020. Although her husband is deeply involved in the double crisis of scandal and unemployment, it seems that Tara, who later became an actor herself, does not intend to part ways with her husband. "I did cheat, betrayed my wife, and made her heartbroken. Although it's really not a good thing, I didn't break the law." North continued to defend himself in the interview.

Since the end of 2021, North has never been investigated and is legally innocent. The four or five women who publicly accused North of sexual assault have not initiated any civil lawsuits against him.

Regarding his cheating behavior, North said that like many men, he made a lot of excuses for himself. "It was just a play on the occasion, just to have some fun outside of life, no one knows anyway, and it won't hurt anyone. And, most importantly, I also like sex and enjoy sex. The situation at the time was that many people I took the initiative to send it to my door, and I told myself that I can't let go of this opportunity, because I know this is my last chance."

Norstein admits that his image may never be restored. "After all, this is the trend of the times. No matter what I say, it is impossible to change everyone's mind. But I just want to remind everyone that I did not go to court, I am not a criminal, I did not commit a crime, I do not need to defend myself, give myself Looking for witnesses. Moreover, many of the claims against me are really absurd and have no factual basis. I don’t want to mention these now, because this kind of thing is always getting darker and darker, and the gossip media is also the worst. Love this, I don't want my two sons to see these reports."

At the end of the interview, North told USA TODAY: "I'm not going to throw in the towel, I'm not done yet. I'm an actor, I still have dreams, and I have two kids to raise."

North, who has been blacklisted by Hollywood, is back on the stage and is directing and performing the masterpiece "Rhinoceros" by Eugene Ionesco, a master of absurd drama, in a small theater in Massachusetts.
