Sex and The City actor Chris Noth is facing fresh allegations of sexual assault after a fourth woman came forward to claim he threatened to "ruin her career" if she told anyone about what happened on a night in 2002.
67-year-old Noth has denied sexual assault allegations from three other women.
Speaking about her claims at a press conference, New York musician Lisa Gentile accused the actor of groping her nearly 20 years ago, saying she first met Noth in 1998 at a New York City restaurant.
She claimed that, in 2002, Noth, who recently returned as Mr Big in Sex and The City reboot And Just Like That . . . , offered her a lift home and asked to see her apartment.
Gentile alleged that Noth kissed her, "forcibly pulled" her against him and groped her.
"I grabbed his hands with my hands and tried to stop it," she added, "I finally managed to push them away and get out of his grasp and yell, 'No, I don't want this'."
The musician then said Noth stormed out and rang her the following day to say he would "ruin her career" if she told anyone about what had happened.
Noth is already facing sex assault claims from two women about alleged incidents in 2004 and 2015.
Noth has said the allegations from the two women, who do not know each other, 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," he said. "The encounters were consensual."
Noth's representatives had no comment about Gentile's accusations, reported the Reuters news agency.
SATC and Just Like That . . . stars Sarah Jessica Parker Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis have said they are 'deeply saddened' by the allegations.
"We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences," they said. "We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it."
Universal Television and CBS have confirmed that Noth would no longer appear in The Equalizer series.
The actor subsequently appeared in an advertising campaign for a fitness brand, which has since been paused due to the allegations.
