After a New York Times interview with the Arrested Development cast, Jessica Walter revealed that she was verbally harassed on set by Jeffrey Tambor. Other star, Jason Bateman, received backlash for his supposed response to the harassment at the time, which was to basically ignore it.

“I was wrong here… I’m incredibly embarrassed and deeply sorry.” He added that this is “a big learning moment for me” and said, “I shouldn’t have tried so hard to mansplain.”

“I have to let go of being angry at him,” Jessica said through tears, while Jeffrey sat a few feet away.

Jason was also in the room and said during the interview, “Not to belittle it, but a lot of stuff happens in 15 years … In the entertainment industry, it is incredibly common to have people who are, in quotes, ‘difficult.’ … You have different people’s processes that converge and collide at times. So Jeffrey is not just popping off, coming out of his car and some unhinged guy … Not to say that you know, you [Walter] had it coming. But this is not in a vacuum — families come together and certain dynamics collide and clash every once in a while. And there’s all kinds of things that go into the stew, so it’s a little narrow to single that one particular thing that is getting attention from our show.”

In his tweets Thursday, Bateman said, “Based on listening to the NYT interview and hearing people’s thoughts online, I realize that I was wrong here. I sound like I’m condoning yelling at work. I do not. It sounds like I’m excusing Jeffery. I do not. It sounds like I’m insensitive to Jessica. I am not. In fact, I’m horrified that I wasn’t more aware of how this incident affected her.”
