Jeffrey Tambor recently announced that he’s leaving Transparent due to sexual misconduct allegations, although he still denies any wrongdoing. Deadline reports that both of his accusers worked on the show: Van Barnes, his former assistant, accused Tambor of sexual harassment, and co-star Trace Lysette says he sexually assaulted her.
Now, a celebrity makeup artist with no connection to Transparent has come forward and shared her own story about Tambor.
In an exclusive interview with Refinery29, Tamara Delbridge says that Tambor forcibly kissed her in 2001 on the set of the film Never Again. As a makeup assistant, the job marked Delbridge’s first big break in the industry.
“It was really weird because I did not interact with him at all during filming,” Delbridge says. “It wasn’t like he and I had bantered back and forth or flirted. I’m very professional on set and [Never Again] was a really big deal for me. It was the first time that I’d worked with actors at that level,” she adds, noting that she was given the opportunity to do makeup for the likes of Jill Clayburgh, Bill Duke, and Sandy Duncan.
