Jeffrey Tambor isn’t giving up on Transparent without a fight — or so it seems, according to a new report from The New York Times.
In the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations, Tambor on Nov. 19 issued a statement criticizing the “politicalized atmosphere” on the set of the Amazon dramedy, saying, “I don’t see how I can return to Transparent” and signaling his own departure. Now, a representative for the actor tells the Times that Tambor has “no plans to quit,” leaving the series in a state of limbo as the streamer’s investigation into multiple harassment claims marches on.
According to Tambor’s publicist, Allan Mayer, the actor’s earlier statement was meant to say that “it’s very hard for him to see how he can possibly return,” but clarified that “no final decision for next year has been made, either by Jeffrey or by Amazon.”
