Amber Tamblyn is not David Cross, but the actress has been receiving her fair share of criticism for her husband’s actions.

The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star is an outspoken feminist and a co-founder of Time’s Up. Cross, on the other hand, was accused of racism toward actress and comedian Charlyne Yi in October 2017 and recently participated in an intense “Arrested Development” interview that left his co-star, Jessica Walter, in tears.

On Tuesday, Tamblyn opened up to Sam Sanders of NPR’s “It’s Been a Minute” about the “difficult conversations” she’s had with her husband about racism and sexism in light of these missteps.

“Basically he was rightfully accused of doing something racist to the comedian, Charlyne Yi,” Tamblyn told Sanders. “I think the jokes that work for white guys and their white guy comedian friends don’t work, always, for women of color.”

Tamblyn goes on to say that she’s had numerous conversations with Cross about his behavior.
