15th February 2018 - Jeffrey Tambor Confirmed Not to Return
Over three months after first being accused of sexual harassment on the set of Transparent, Jeffrey Tambor is officially off the Amazon series. While it is still unclear if the upcoming fifth season of the Emmy winning Jill Soloway created show will be its last, it is very clear that Tambor will not be part of the new season at all, I’ve learned.
With the investigation by Amazon into multiple allegations of misconduct by the Golden Globe and Emmy winner recently completed, the decision to cut theMaura Pfefferman portraying Tambor from Transparent was made in the past week. This of course comes Tambor said on November 19 that “I don’t see how I can return to Transparent” citing the growing claims against him and “the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set.” The actor and his reps then tried to walk back that declaration after it was widely viewed as an exit from the series.
Today Amazon confirmed to Deadline that Tambor is not coming back and that the harassment investigation was recently concluded.
“I have great respect and admiration for Van Barnes and Trace Lysette, whose courage in speaking out about their experience on Transparent is an example of the leadership this moment in our culture requires," Ji;ll Soloway said in a statement Thursday. "We are grateful to the many trans people who have supported our vision for Transparent since its inception and remain heartbroken about the pain and mistrust their experience has generated in our community. We are taking definitive action to ensure our workplace respects the safety and dignity of every individual, and are taking steps to heal as a family.”
