ALIA SHAWKAT SUPPORTS JEFFREY TAMBOR VICTIMS: Alia Shawkat tells IndieWire that she supports the people who have accused Jeffrey Tambor of misconduct. I was surprised, obviously. I’ve known him since I was very young. I support the voices of the victims though, whatever they said…Transparent and Amazon did their own investigations. It’s being handled the way it’s being handled. It’s very…strange. I know a lot of actresses [who] work with people…this is happening to, [but] we don’t have personal understandings of it…And I worked with him on two shows, too, so it’s kind of following me around. I hope it’s all handled legally, the way it should be, and taken into consideration.” Tambor, who denies the allegations, has been ousted from Transparent.
