The entertainment media used pseudonyms for women who detailed their accounts with the actor.

A woman named Zoe said that in 2004, when she was 22, Noth raped her in her LA apartment. She said she had received medical treatment and counseling. The other woman, named Lily, said she was raped inside Noth’s New York City apartment in 2015, after a night of drinking.

“The encounters were consensual,” Noth added in his statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s hard not to question when these stories come out. I don’t know for sure why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women. “
