Holy shit. This.

And that is exactly why Tambor is doing this. So people like you will think he’s being railroaded. If that were really the case he’d sue them for wrongful termination. But, as with all the rest who insist they’ve done nothing wrong he isn’t doing that. Why? Because he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. Amazon doesn’t…

His side? He’s a fucking liar if he’s saying he wasn’t asked to explain what happened. Too bad he’s got no explanation, except for “gee, I’m sorry if they misinterpreted my intentions when I rubbed my erect penis against their bodies. I was just being friendly!”

Hey little guy, I get it. You’re a moron. And everyone reading the comments knows it now. Congrats on that. Crawl back into your hole, wrap your arms around your knees, and continue rocking telling yourself over and over again how bad ass you are.

I was trying to be nice, but what the hell ever man. If you don’t want people to discuss then don’t comment. Simple.

You’re right on the money. As a sexual abuse/assault victim’s advocate, Tambor’s statement echo the same line of horseshit my organization hears from guilty parties again and again and again.  

My first comment to you responded to your post while also sharing my own independent opinion (that he is lying). You then said you weren’t trying to make a comment on whether or not he’s lying. So I responded to clarify that I wasn’t trying to put words in your mouth - that my original comment meant to 1) agree with…

Oh no, you know Amazon was just looking for a reason to fire the star of their critically-acclaimed Emmy-winning show, so of course they wouldn’t include him in the investigation. He just has no idea what he could have done wrong!!! Why won’t anyone just talk to him???
</sarcasm>

As an HR professional who has conducted workplace investigations, I find it highly unlikely that Amazon didn’t have specially trained professional investigators doing everything exactly by the book, especially in a “politicized atmosphere”. Tambor may not have liked the investigation, but I’m 99.999999% sure he was…

I’m calling his statement a load of crap meant to garner sympathy for poor Tambor the latest victim of the metoo movement. I wasn’t implying that you personally believed it.

He sounds clueless. He’s an actor, he isn’t clueless at all.

Right. That’s a load of crap. There is no way Amazon wouldn’t have talked to him while investigating the allegations. This reminds me of the Garrison Keillor defense. He said he accidentally touched a woman’s bare back and everyone believed him immediately, and used his case as metoo gone too far. Then the truth came…

There is no chance, like no way in hell, that the investigation didn’t include speaking with him, his accusers, as well as any potential witnesses or other involved parties.

It’s so fun to watch these goalposts move - if a man is fired too soon, “there wasn’t even an investigation! Due process!” If the company investigates for months (assuming they started when the allegations were made public), “they probably did it wrong! Unless we get a step-by-step explanation of everything the…

Yes, my second comment reflects that I see it’s likely he didn’t mean the accuser should’ve gone to him directly. I still think that part of the statement is shade regarding the time it took for the victims to come forward.

Classic verbose abuser-as-victim. The several I’ve known have a unique ability with the written word, it really shines when they are feeling persecuted. The formal tone with condescension, judgment and blame sprinkled in. The overly-multisyllabic screed that tries to hide ‘wah-wahh, poor me’.

To the commenters saying this is simply about him not being told what’s going on, his statement says:

He’s lying. Or he’s stretching the truth enough that it’s a lie. Technically he didn’t say no one talked to him. He mentioned Jill Soloway and said, “In our four-year history of working together on this incredible show, these accusations have NEVER been revealed or discussed directly with me or anyone at Amazon.” That…

“In our four-year history of working together on this incredible show, these accusations have NEVER been revealed or discussed directly with me or anyone at Amazon. Therefore, I can only surmise that the investigation against me was deeply flawed and biased toward the toxic politicized atmosphere that afflicted our…

Sadly this is not even close to being anything new. There’s at least two or three cases a year of people dying during exorcisms, including sometimes in the United States. In 2011 a Virginia man beat a two-year-old to death in exorcism. In 1997 a Korean woman was beaten to death in California during an exorcism. And a…
