Jason Bateman and Tony Hale have apologized for appearing to defend Jeffrey Tambor as their Arrested Development co-star cried about being harassed by him on set.Just hours after Bateman admitted he was 'embarrassed' and 'deeply sorry' to Jessica Walter for his comments during a recent cast interview, Hale has issued his own apology on Twitter.'I have reached out to Jessica personally to apologize,' Hale wrote on Thursday.'Arrested Development is one of my families.Regardless of my intentions, it is clear that my words, both said and unsaid, served to minimize Jessica's pain and for that I am extremely sorry.' The hit comedy's cast had sat down for a group interview with the New York Times when they were asked about Tambor's own admission that he had 'blown up' at Jessica Walters.Walters, 77, broke down in tears as she said that in 'almost 60 years of working, I've never had anybody yell at me like that on a set.'But while she said it was 'hard to deal with', he'd apologized and she had to 'let go of being angry at him.'

The apology comes amid angry backlash against Bateman, and his male costars David Cross, Tony Hale and Will Arnett, who all appeared a little too eager to make excuses for Tambor during the awkward interview.After the incident was raised, Hale claimed that they've 'all had moments,' to which Walter responded: 'But not like that, not like that.That was bad.' 'Again, not to belittle it or excuse it or anything, but in the entertainment industry it is incredibly common to have people who are, in quotes, 'difficult,' Bateman added.The only actor who seemed willing to come to Walter's defense was her female costar Alia Shawkat, who immediately rejected Bateman's excuse that bad behavior was tolerated.'But that doesn't mean it's acceptable,' she said.'And the point is that things are changing, and people need to respect each other differently.' Tambor, 73, who was sat just a few feet away from Walter during the interview, said that he had 'profusely apologized' and called Walter 'a walking acting lesson.'
