The 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' star reveals her actor husband 'recently lost out on a job' for supporting Jessica Walter who claimed Tambor had 'verbally harassed' her on set.

AceShowbiz - Amanda Seyfried has revealed that her husband lost his job for defending a victim of harassment. On Tuesday, November 27, the "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" star took to Instagram to make the revelation of how siding with Jessica Walter in her public allegation against Jeffrey Tambor had cost Thomas Sadoski dearly.
Bringing back attention to her husband's May post, the 32-year-old actress began, "Here's a somewhat recent post from my husband who, in return for standing beside a bad*** woman who'd recently been bullied, recently lost out on a job because of this." She continued to point out where she stands on the matter. "I'd rather speak up and lose out. Integrity, ladies and gentlemen," she proclaimed.
Along with her statement, Seyfriend reposted Sadoski's original note. "This is Jessica Walter. She is a national god***ned treasure," Sadoski wrote alongside a picture of him with the 77-year-old actress. "It was an honor and a privilege to work with her. I don't give a f**k who you think you are or how good you think you are or how awesome you think your buddy/daddy is: screaming at someone isn't 'part of the business'. It's bull**t."
In the post, Sadoski ranted over how unacceptable losing temper at others. "It wasn't cool in the 70's or 80's or whenthef**kever you 'came up'. It was bull**t then, it is bull**t now. And excusing that kind of behavior is pathetic. Just pathetic," he fumed. "I worked in s****y greasy-spoon kitchens growing up: it wasn't acceptable behavior THERE and most of us were on HEAVY DRUGS."
The 42-year-old actor then took an implied jab at Tambor's lost temper. "It certainly isn't acceptable for some man-baby millionaire to do on a cozy a** tv show set," he raged. "And it is even less acceptable for his male cast-mates to excuse it away IN FRONT OF THE PERSON THAT IT HAPPENED TO....(wait for it)....WHILE SHE IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW TRAUMATIZING THE EXPERIENCE WAS. What in the halfpenny f**k is happening?!"
One day before Sadoski uploaded the post, Walter confirmed through an interview with The New York Times that Tambor verbally harassed her on the set of "Arrested Development". She tearfully said at the time, "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 just let it go right here."
To his credit, Tambor did apologize to Walter for his unacceptable behavior. "I profusely have apologized. Ms. Walter is indeed a walking acting lesson," he told the publication. Reinforcing his statement, his on-screen wife stated, "He did apologize. I have to let it go."
