Chris Noth brutally trolled for 'desperate' promotion of card game app year after sexual assault scandal
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Sex and the City' star Chris Noth received savage trolling on social media after followers learned that he promoted a card game app in a video. The 68-year-old actor made the claim that Gin Rummy Stars "helps improve brain skills" and is "totally free" to play in a self-shot clip that was posted to Instagram.
However, it has been theorized that Gin Rummy Stars may have bought the advertisement via Cameo, a company that enables fans to request personalized movies from their favorite celebrities. Noth's official Cameo states that he costs $850 for a "business video."

Chris Noth sex assault allegations: Here's what to know about accusers Zoe and Lily
Although five women accused him of sexual assault in December 2021, Chris Noth has maintained a quiet profile throughout the past year. He refuted them, saying the "encounters were consensual." After the accusations, Noth's scenes in the SATC revival, And Just Like That..., were allegedly "cut by HBO," and the fitness industry behemoth pulled his viral advertisement for Peloton.
'I like to kickback'
Noth says in the advertisement, "Listen, we all need ways to escape the grind. For me, I like to kickback and play Gin Rummy Stars." He continued by calling it a "unique card game" with a number of levels and minigames that are "easy enough to be relaxing but still challenging. And it improves your noggin. It approves your brain skills. After just 10 minutes I already feel better and smarter." In the conclusion, the 'SATC' star said, "And the best part, it's totally free. Chill out with Gin Rummy Stars. I'm not kidding, you're gonna be a genius after you play this."
Players have the chance to win a virtual jackpot with the app, which they can download for free. However, gamers also have the choice to buy "coins," such as a cache of 500,000 coins for $99.99. Retail prices for smaller quantities start at $4.99, reported Daily Mail.
'Mr Big is selling video games'
Fans were more upset about Noth's decision to advertise the app than they were about the game's mechanics. A shocking fan wrote, "What a mess!!!!' while another mocked the game makers for allegedly "using cameo to make a cheap interview commercial." One person commented, "Sounds great," referring to the Noth's since-deleted Peloton ad. "I guess we packed up the Peloton? [CRYING-LAUGHING EMOJI], as cited by Daily Mail. Another person commented, "Mr Big from Sex and the City is selling video games," before speculating as to whether the actor had been "blacklisted" from Hollywood as a result of the rape claims. "Seems like a fine way for a career to end," an Instagram user said.
