Jeffrey Tambor Didn't Leave 'Transparent' After All
"Transparent" — despite his earlier remarks that he'd left the Amazon series in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against him.
After Tambor was accused of harassment by a former assistant and an actress on the show, the Emmy winner issued a statement saying, "Given the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set, I don't see how I can return to 'Transparent.'"
However, in a report by the New York Times, his representative said the actor remains with the show. "Transparent" creator Jill Soloway refuses to comment on Tambor's status while Amazon investigates the charges.
"What he said was that given the toxic atmosphere and the politicization on the set, it's very hard for him to see how he can possibly return. But no final decision for next year has been made, either by Jeffrey or by Amazon," Tambor's rep said.
Writers are currently at work on a fifth season of "Transparent," though it continues to remain unclear if Tambor would continue to star in it.
