The cast of Arrested Development discussed the sexual harassment allegations against its star Jeffrey Tambor in a candid interview with The New York Times, and it got pretty raw.

One of the star’s Jessica Walter said he had verbally harassed her, saying she had to “let go of being angry at him,” adding, “He never crossed the line on our show, with any, you know, sexual whatever. Verbally, yes, he harassed me, but he did apologize. I have to let it go. And I have to give you a chance to, you know, for us to be friends again.”

“But it’s hard because honestly — Jason [Bateman] says this happens all the time,” she went on. “In like almost 60 years of working, I’ve never had anybody yell at me like that on a set. And it’s hard to deal with, but I’m over it now.”

“I yelled at Jill [Soloway] — she told me recently she was afraid of me,” Jeffrey told the Hollywood Reporter. “I yelled at the wonderful [executive producer] Bridget Bedard in front of everybody. I made her cry. And I apologized and everything, but still, I yelled at her. The assistant directors. I was rude to my assistant. I was moody.”
