Jeffrey Tambor accused of sexual misconduct on Transparent set Read moreLysette has appeared as a guest star in multiple episodes of the show’s four seasons, in which Tambor, 73, plays Maura Pfefferman: a retired professor undergoing gender transition. Amazon was already investigating allegations of harassment levelled against Tambor by his former assistant on the show, trans actress Van Barnes. In her public statement detailing the allegations against Tambor on 17 November, Lysette urged Amazon to “remove the problem and let the show go on”. The issue of sexual harassment is particularly sensitive at Amazon given that Amazon Studios president Roy Price resigned last month, following allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour from multiple women. Tambor is one of the latest figures in entertainment or politics to be accused in recent weeks of sexual harassment or misconduct.
