David Cross apologizes to Jessica Walter for defending Jeffrey Tambor
David Cross has also apologized for defending Jeffrey Tambor regarding an incident he had with Jessica Walter on the set of Arrested Development Season 5, following in the footsteps of fellow co-stars Jason Bateman and Tony Hale.

Cross, Walter, Tambor, Bateman, Hale and others from the Netflix comedy including Will Arnett and Alia Shawkat, recently took part in a group interview with The New York Times where it appeared that Cross, Bateman and Hale were defending Tambor after it was mentioned that he verbally abused Walter on set.

"Let me just say one thing that I just realized in this conversation. I have to let go of being angry at him. 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," Walter said about the confrontation with Tambor, who was let go from Amazon's Transparent amid sexual harassment allegations.

"I agree with everybody. And I think it's important to note -- and it hasn't been noted -- that this kind of behavior that's being described, it didn't just come out of the blue. It wasn't zero to 60. There is a cumulative effect sometimes," Cross said after hearing Bateman and Hale's defensive remarks about Tambor's outburst.

"I will unequivocally apologize to Jessica. I'm sorry that we behaved the way we behaved," Cross told Gothamist on Thursday. Bateman and Hale also apologized.

Cross also mentioned the severity of Tambor's outburst and how he wished he had stood up for Walter during the incident.

"It's one thing to pop off a little bit, to let frustrations boil over, that happens in any workplace. If it had just been that, then it would have been not cool, but par for the course for where we were and what was happening," he said. "I think what Jeffrey did was egregious and there was a little bit of cruelty to it, which I have a real issue with."

Cross' wife, a founding member of Time's Up, posted on Twitter her disappointment with how Cross handled the group interview through the use of gifs featuring Walter, Shawkat and Portia de Rossi giving disapproving faces while on Arrested Development.

Tamblyn also said on Twitter that she spoke to both Walter and Shawkat about what happened.


Nicki Minaj tells fans she's dating Eminem
Nicki Minaj says she's dating fellow rapper Eminem.

The 35-year-old star appeared to confirm a relationship with the 45-year-old recording artist Friday following the release of her song "Big Bank."

Minaj posted a video Thursday of herself lip syncing to "Big Bank," which references Eminem by his nickname Slim Shady. She responded "yes" when a follower asked, "You dating Eminem???" in the comments.

"Uh oh / Back again /Back to back Maybach, stack the Ms," Minaj raps in the song. "Told 'em I met Slim Shady, bag the M / Once he go black, he'll be back again."

Minaj collaborated with Eminem on her 2010 single "Roman's Revenge." She reportedly split from rapper Nas in December after eight months of dating.

"Nicki and Nas fizzled out," a source told Us Weekly in January. "They were never in the same place at the same time, so it was hard to move their relationship forward."

"They still remain friends," the insider added.

Minaj announced Thursday she is delaying the release of her new album, Queen, from June 15 to Aug. 10. The album will include her new singles "Barbie Tingz" and "Chun-Li."
