Jeffrey Tambor has officially exited “Transparent.”
Tambor leaves the series ahead of it’s upcoming fifth season. His departure follows multiple misconduct allegations and a period of waffling on whether he would return to the Amazon Studios series.
A representative for Amazon confirmed Tambor’s exit from the series Thursday but declined to comment further.
Series creator Jill Soloway said Thursday, “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. 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. ”
