Jeffrey Tambor Quits Amazon Series ‘Transparent’ amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations

[Teppodama]

Actor Jeffrey Tambor has resigned from the Amazon television series Transparent following accusations of sexual misconduct this month from two transgender actresses.
The 73-year-old actor confirmed to Deadline Sunday that he would not return for a fifth season of Transparent, on which he played the lead role of transgender woman Maura Pfefferman.

“Playing Maura Pfefferman on Transparent has been one of the greatest privileges and creative experiences of my life,” Tambor told the outlet. “What has become clear over the past weeks, however, is that this is no longer the job I signed up for four years ago.”

“I’ve already made clear my deep regret if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being aggressive, but the idea that I would deliberately harass anyone is simply and utterly untrue,” the actor added. “Given the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set, I don’t see how I can return to Transparent.”

his week, Transparent co-star Trace Lysette accused Tambor of making repeated sexually inappropriate remarks while on set, and at one point allegedly getting “physical.”

“He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrust back and forth against my body. I felt his penis on my hip through his thin pajamas,” Lysette told the Hollywood Reporter this week.

Lysette’s claims came after actress Van Barnes, who served as Tambor’s personal assistant, also accused Tambor of sexual misconduct this month.

Amazon had launched an investigation into Tambor’s alleged conduct following the first accusation from Barnes.

“I know I haven’t always been the easiest person to work with. I can be volatile and ill-tempered, and too often I express my opinions harshly and without tact. But I have never been a predator — ever,” Tambor said in a statement following the second accusation. “I am deeply sorry if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being sexually aggressive or if I ever offended or hurt anyone. But the fact is, for all my flaws, I am not a predator and the idea that someone might see me in that way is more distressing than I can express.”

Tambor won two Emmys and a Golden Globe for his role on the Amazon series, which was created by Jill Soloway. A fifth season of Transparent has not yet officially been announced.

The savage decimation of Hollywood. Oh the humanity.

Feminists driving all the men out of Hollywood.

Then they focus on making empowering movies about armpit hair growth and wonder why people aren't interested in their movies.

Blockbusters by women, for women, completely acted by women including all "male" roles.

Thus, Hollywood dies and real artistry is allowed to develop again.
More likely though, people stop giving a shit about accusations of rape/sexual assault.

We're gonna need a separate subforum for these stories.

This one's different. The accuser has an agenda.

Some tranny part-time actor on set is mad that a straight white dude(Tambor) is playing one of their own. Also the alleged "misconduct" is an obvious joke:

Tambor had set up a meeting between Lysette and his manager for potential representation. Lysette thanked Tambor for the gesture, she says, "and he said, 'Well, yeah Trace. I really believe in you. And you know what? I don't even want to have sex with you.' And then he just looked at me as if he very much indeed wanted to have sex with me. It was an up-and-down look. I rolled my eyes and went to my trailer and thought, "This man is something else."

Now that's a headline.

At least we still have Terry Crews. He got ahead of this by releasing his own sexual harassment story.

"He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move."

If this were true, it wouldn't exactly be very difficult to push a 73 year old man over so you can get away.

wonder how this is going to affect arrested development season 5

Isn't that guy a pretty big dude? He's always seemed pretty big to me. How big is the victim? If she was a petite girl even at 73 this guy is probably a little intimidating if he's as big as he seems.

Depends. Was he motivated TRT Tambor, with that look in his eyes?

He's 6' 1

For most of his career he's been known for his top game but while working on Trans-parent, he's developed a respectable bottom game and is much more comfortable working off his back.

Pretty sure the "victims" are dudes in a dress...


Something about these accusations in particular just seems off... His first harassment accusations in his entire career are from two trannies when he's 73 years old? After 4 entire seasons on a show about a transgender person? It just doesn't add up.

These trannies are basically guaranteed a pay day in some way since they're gold medalists in the Oppression Olympics. No proof, no nothing... Just their word.

Guess I should have read the story (duh). Ignore my comments I was clearly not equipped to post here.

It is a problem but many of these people were exaggerating the level of harrassment, many women willingly slept with these guys, and also they seem to be a disportianate amount of jewish males like Tambor being accussed, very strange why are they singling out jewish men? Im surprised the media never caught onto this. There is some antisemitism going on if you ask me.

Or maybe Jewish males are just over represented in Hollywood altogether, especially in positions of power and authority?

Why arent rockstars getting exposed they bang out groupies and fondle them? Heck even jewish porn star ron jeremy is being accussed of sex harrassment its strange. Why single out ron?

And why are they only coming out now years later? .
