Peloton, an exercise company, and Ryan Reynolds have decided to cut ties with Chris Noth who has been accused of sexual assault.
Ryan Reynolds Cuts Chris Noth From His Advert Following His Sexual Assault Allegations
Reports indicated that two women, by the names of Zoe and Lily, had come forward to disclose two cases of assault. While Chris did not deny that the encounter had occurred, he did question the manner in which the events were being described.
Thus, rather than it being a case of assault, Chris had stressed that all actions had occurred with the full knowledge that there was consent.
In a statement at the time, he remarked: “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.
“The encounters were consensual.” As such, an investigation is being carried out in order to determine whether or not Chris is going to be held liable.
While there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the fact of the matter is that the current cancel culture has made it very difficult to stand one’s ground in the face of scrutiny.
As a result, Ryan and Peloton have reportedly cut footage which had showcased Chris from their commercial. In an official statement, Peleton stated: “Every single sexual assault accusation must be taken seriously.
“We were unaware of these allegations when we featured Chris Noth in our response to HBO’s reboot. As we seek to learn more, we have stopped promoting this video and archived related social posts.”
The news was a shock to none other than Ryan himself. The actor admitted that he enjoyed working with Chris and was impressed at the manner in which he came across.
But given the timings of the accusations, coupled with the fact that an investigation is needed, it has all been in vain. In a prior statement, Ryan revealed: “Chris was in right away, but it was a whirlwind, for all of us.”
Time will tell whether this ends up being the start of a series of brands that cut ties with Chris. After all, there are some serious accusations being made against him which will require a thorough defence.
