    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    Chris Noth will no longer be part of the CBS series "The Equalizer" in the wake of sexual assault allegations against the actor.

    Universal Television and CBS made a joint announcement Monday that Noth would no longer be part of filming "effective immediately."

    Noth has played a former CIA director on "The Equalizer," which stars Queen Latifah. Noth will appear in at least one upcoming episode.

    Noth's representatives had no immediate comment on "The Equalizer" decision.

    Two women accused Noth of sexual assault  in a story reported last week by The Hollywood Reporter. Noth vehemently denied the allegations, which date back to 2004 and 2015.

    "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," Noth said in a statement to the Reporter.

    One of the women who accused Noth of assaulting her said his reprisal of his Mr. Big character on the "Sex and the City" sequel "And Just Like That…" prompted her to speak out about the actor.

    Noth's demise in the first episode of the show led to widespread attention.

    Paramount says China’s Tencent withdrew from its Warner Bros bid to avert national security issues

    Paramount Skydance says the Chinese gaming and social media giant Tencent Holdings withdrew from its bid to buy Warner Bros Discovery to avert a possible national security review.

    Paramount's revised filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of its takeover bid said the Chinese company had dropped its $1 billion financing commitment out of concern, since it would be a "non-U.S. equity financing source," that its bid might be subject to a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS. That was even though approval by CFIUS or by the Federal Communications Commission was not a condition of the bid.

    The SEC filing, dated Monday, said that foreign sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, which are providing $24 billion for Paramount's bid, had agreed to give up a right to participate in Warner Bros' management to avoid the additional scrutiny.

    On Monday, Paramount launched a hostile $77.9 billion takeover offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, competing with rival bidder Netflix to buy the company behind HBO, CNN and a famed movie studio.

    Big deals that involve foreign companies are sometimes subject to national security reviews by CFIUS, a U.S. government group chaired by the Treasury Secretary that studies mergers for national-security reasons. It has the power to force companies to change ownership structures or divest completely from the U.S.

    Under former President Joe Biden as well as President Donald Trump, the Treasury Department has sought to strengthen its powers as national security concerns related to foreign investment have increased.

    Tencent is among dozens of Chinese companies that the U.S. Defense Department has included in a list of companies it... Read More
