Creator Jill Soloway and the show's writers are “fighting to save the show from cancellation" after a second allegation of sexual harassment (https://www.themarysue.com/jeffrey-tambor-latest-alleged-sexual-harasser/) against Tambor (http://www.refinery29.com/2017/11/181477/jeffrey-tambor-sexual-harassment-response-trace-lysette), from actress Trace Lysette, surfaced last night, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Transparent writers had already begun working on Season 5 when the first allegation, from former assistant Van Barnes, was made last week. The Hollywood Reporter reports that “the creator, according to a well-placed source, is asking for the right amount of time to creatively write Maura out of the show, possibly with a death.” Meanwhile, Soloway is scheduled to speak publicly at a panel on Saturday. ALSO: Transgender Transparent writer Our Lady J says “I honor the strength and courage” of Tambor’s accusers. (http://ew.com/tv/2017/11/17/transparent-our-lady-j-jeffrey-tambor-accusers/)

All you need is an accusation and your guilty.

“Playing Maura Pfefferman on Transparent has been one of the greatest privileges and creative experiences of my life,” the actor told Deadline on Sunday. He added: “What has become clear over the past weeks, however, is that this is no longer the job I signed up for four years ago….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.” Neither Amazon nor Transparent creator Jill Soloway has responded to Tambor's exit, but Deadline reports that his option for Season 5 had yet to be picked up.
