Beverly Johnson feels bad for Chris Noth’s family after the embattled actor was accused of sexual assault by several women.
“You know, anytime anyone is going through something, I feel for them,” the model exclusively told Page Six at Clive Davis’ 90th birthday party.
“I feel bad for his wife and his family, his kids. I just hope everything works out.”
The former Vogue cover girl, 69, dated the “Sex and the City” star 67, from 1990 to 1995 and filed for a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles Superior Court on Aug. 1, 1995.
At the time, she requested Noth stay 500 yards away from her, her daughter, Anansa, and their dog.
“Chris Noth punched me in the chest and ribs, injuring my ribs, making it difficult to breathe, punching and bruising my face and body in which I had to have medical attention,” Johnson alleged in court documents.
“On July 27, 1995, he made repeated threats on my life making up to 25 calls per day threatening to kill me [and] destroy my face. Threatened to kill dog.”
The judge approved the temporary restraining order. The order was then modified into a mutual restraining order on Oct. 3, 1995, with Noth and Johnson both agreeing not to “contact, molest, attack, strike, threaten, sexually assault, batter, telephone or disturb the peace of the other.”
Days after the December 2021 premiere of “And Just Like That…,” Noth was accused by four different women of sexual assault.
The “Law & Order” alum — who shares two kids, Orion, 14, and Keats, 2, with wife Tara Wilson — has categorically denied the charges and says the encounters were consensual.
Johnson told us she doesn’t dwell on what transpired between her and Noth in the past — no matter how painful.
“Life is too short,” she explained. “I want to live my life from a place of the best vibes I can possibly live from, because the other place is useless. So, I’d rather stay in the light.”
Johnson was one of many celebrities who attended Davis’ star-studded birthday bash at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan. The legendary music exec is one of her longtime friends.
“One thing about Clive is if you’re his friend, you’re his friend forever,” she explained. “He includes me in everything, and sometimes he even lets me listen to new music. He thinks I have good ears! Such a privilege.”
