BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – A transgender actress who accused “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor of sexual misconduct said she’s grateful for the support she’s received and hopes the show is able to continue without the Emmy-winning star.

Trace Lysette is one of two women who came forward last year and accused Tambor of sexual harassment. Tambor repeatedly denied the claims, but Amazon announced earlier this year that he would not be returning to the show, leaving its future in doubt.

Lysette said she’s hopeful the show will return, and says justice for her would mean a fifth season of “Transparent.”

Tambor has won awards for his portrayal of a man transitioning to a woman in his senior years.

Lysette attended the GLAAD Media Awards in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday night.
