Jeffrey Tambor will not be returning to Amazon’s series “Transparent” for Season 5, the network said Thursday.
The decision comes after the conclusion of an investigation into accusations that Tambor sexually harassed three women, including his ex-assistant and transgender actress Van Barnes, “Transparent” actressย Trace Lysette, and makeup artistย Tamara Delbridge. Tambor previously denied the accusations.
“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 series creator Jill Soloway in a statement to TheWrap about Tambor’s exit.
