Good grief! Now it's Jeffrey Tambor -- and he's leaving Transparent

after allegations that he sexually harassed a female assistant.

Would he be leaving if other allegations weren't likely to follow? (The first paragraph says "two members" but the article only mentions one.)

On Sunday, Jeffrey Tambor announced he would not be returning to Transparent following the sexual harassment allegations made against him by two members of the Amazon series’ team.

“Playing Maura Pfefferman on Transparent has been one of the greatest privileges and creative experiences of my life,” Tambor told Deadline. “What has become clear over the past weeks, however, is that this is no longer the job I signed up for four years ago.”

He added, “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.”

I have never acted and most likely have no talent
But hey ya never know. I am overweight and rather old, and have never been in a position of much power so I would be a safe hire...
Is there an application on line? Or LinkedIn?

Will we learn that much of the sexual harassment by famous men was instigated and documented by Russians since the 1970s as a form of kompromat?

to beat him up. Maybe they need self-defense lessons from Camille Paglia?

6. Come on, you know it's not a matter of size. As the star, he had far more power

than any assistant. That isn't the issue.

IF he did it, he was wrong.
