Soloway’s personal publicist, Mr. Fitzerman-Blue was one of the few to say he believed the women’s allegations against Mr. Tambor; most others would not discuss them. Another actress, Alexandra Billings, said in a statement to The Times that she had overheard Mr. Tambor tell Ms. Lysette, “My God, Trace. Mr. Tambor, too, produced a supporting account. But no final decision for next year has been made, either by Jeffrey or by Amazon.” He declined to elaborate on what Mr. Tambor meant by toxic atmosphere and politicization of the set. But Mr. Ernst, who is transgender, said he thought “Transparent” had made casting transgender people in transgender roles a more urgent issue.
