Jeffrey Tambor Officially Fired From 'Transparent'

In November of 2017, actor Jeffrey Tambor was said to have left the Amazon series Transparent in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations. Later, however, Tambor claimed he might not be leaving the show after all. Now, it's official: Tambor has been fired from Transparent following an internal investigation from Amazon.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that actor Jeffrey Tambor is leaving the Amazon series Transparent. "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. "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. 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."

In November 2017, Tambor seemingly announced his departure from the show following accusations of sexual misconduct from the actor's former assistant, actress Van Barnes and Transparent semi-regular Trace Lysette. Tambor's November statement is below:

"Playing Maura Pfefferman on Transparent has been one of the greatest privileges and creative experiences of my life. 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."
