The Equalizer's Queen Latifah speaks out on Chris Noth axe from CBS drama 'It's surreal'

The news has left the writers of the series scrambling to finish the second season, but hopefully, a solution can be reached soon.

Chris has denied the allegations and said in a statement: “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. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out.”

He added: “I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

The Equalizer season 2 airs Sundays on CBS in the USA. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
