Transparent creator Jill Soloway responds to sexual harassment allegation against Jeffrey Tambor

Variety

“Anything that would diminish the level of respect, safety and inclusion so fundamental to our workplace is completely antithetical to our principles,” Soloway said in a statement. “We are cooperating with the investigation into this matter.” The accuser, Van Barnes, a transgender woman who worked as Tambor’s assistant, appeared in an episode of I Am Cait with Caitlyn Jenner. She also was consultant on Transparent, inspiring the character Devina, who mentored Tambor’s transitioning character in Season 1.
