“He asked why and I told him it was because I couldn’t separate the actor from the man, and the man is a sexual predator,” she continued. “My friend was alarmed at my word choice. And to be honest so was I. I hadn’t thought of this man for so many years, and yet there was a virility to my language that came from somewhere deep and buried.”
Lister-Jones said that in her twenties, she worked at a club that Noth owned in N.Y.C. (Noth owns The Cutting Room in Manhattan.) The actress claimed that “on the few occasions” Noth showed up at the venue “he was consistently sexually inappropriate with a fellow female promoter.” Lister-Jones did not name the female promoter.

“During my interrogation scene he had a 22 oz. of beer under the table that he would drink in between takes,” she alleged. “In one take he got close to me, sniffed my neck, and whispered, ‘You smell good.’ I didn’t say anything. My friend at the club never said anything. It’s so rare that we do.”
In response to her claims, a source told PEOPLE, “To allege Chris was drunk on the set ofLaw & Orderis also entirely false.”
