‘Transparent’ co-star alleges impropriety by Jeffrey Tambor
LOS ANGELES — An actress on “Transparent” says the show’s star Jeffrey Tambor pressed his body against hers in a sexually aggressive manner and made inappropriate and unwanted sexual statements on the set of the show.
Tambor denies the allegations saying in a statement that he has “never been a predator — ever.”
Tambor, 73, plays the transgender matriarch of the Pfefferman family on “Transparent,” which streams on Amazon.
The actress, Trace Lysette, who is herself transgender, said in a statement to Deadline on Thursday that when she emerged from wardrobe in a costume of a lingerie top and shorts for a scene with Tambor, he said, “My God, Trace. I want to attack you sexually.”
