Another famed actor has now had sexual harassment allegations made against him: Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to Deadline that the company is investigating the claims made by Tambor’s former assistant Van Barnes, who is transgender.
Tambor has defiantly replied that no such harassment took place. He spoke to Deadline, and fired back:
I am aware that a former disgruntled assistant of mine has made a private post implying that I had acted in an improper manner toward her. I adamantly and vehemently reject and deny any and all implication and allegation that I have ever engaged in any improper behavior toward this person or any other person I have ever worked with. I am appalled and distressed by this baseless allegation.
Barnes had raved about Transparent, saying, “It’s really rewarding knowing that people are watching this show and taking it all in. It’s actually changing their views and opinions, especially with trans issues that they might not have known about before.”
Barnes appeared on E!’s I Am Cait with Caitlyn Jenner and the Amazon documentary anthology miniseries This Is Me back in 2015.
