Transparent: Jeffrey Tambor Exits After Harassment Claims

When Transparent returns to Amazon for Season 5, it will be without Jeffrey Tambor.

Per Deadline, the Emmy winning drama series has parted ways with its leading man in the wake of a lengthy investigation by Amazon.

The streaming giant was looking into multiple claims of misconduct, and as a result, Tambor has been let go from the show.

“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,” Series creator, Jill Soloway revealed.

“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,” she added.

“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.”

Trace Lysette, who was Tambor's co-star on the series came forward on November 16. The actress alleged that Jeffrey made a comment about a sexual attack and that he even went as far as pressing his groin against her.

Tambor's former assistant, Van Barnes accused him of making less than savory comments and groping her. The third person to come forward was make-up artist, Tamara Delbridge. She alleged that Tambor forcibly kissed her during the production of the movie, Never Again.

As the allegations swirled about Tambor, he released a statement in November that seemingly confirmed his exit from the series.

“Playing Maura Pfefferman on Transparent has been one of the greatest privileges and creative experiences of my life,” Tambor said.

He added: “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."

"Given the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set, I don’t see how I can return to Transparent.”

However, Tambor later revealed that he was not leaving the series.
