Amazon Moves On Without ‘Transparent’ Actor Jeffrey Tambor
The next month, however, Mr. Tambor told through his publicist that “no final decision for next year has been made, either by Jeffrey or by Amazon.”
On Thursday, Amazon Studios and the creator of “Transparent” made it clear that he would not be back.
Amazon Studios’ decision to move on without Mr. Tambor, the Emmy-winning star of one of its most highly regarded series, followed
months of speculation about whether he would return to the show after he was accused of sexual harassment last fall.
“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,” said the series’ creator, Jill Soloway.
Mr. Tambor, 73, was accused of inappropriate workplace behavior by a fellow “Transparent”
cast member, Trace Lysette, and a former personal assistant, Van Barnes.
