Last week it was reported that actress Geena Davis included in her new memoir a passage in which she recalled the time she auditioned in front of the time spell. Now, more stories have been released from people in the industry who interacted with him and had shady experiences.
Davis mentioned that during her audition for the film QuickChange, which Murray directed, he behaved inappropriately towards her, insisting on using a massage machine on her back. The actress had to give in not to create problems, but she is a bad time that she does not forget. Later, when she had already gotten her role, Murray yelled at her loudly in front of the entire crew for being late to the set. About this, the interpreter told the newspaper The Times:
“That was wrong. From the way he behaved at the first meeting… I should have dropped that or defended myself deeply. In that case I wouldn’t have gotten the part. I could have avoided that treatment if I had known how to react or what to do during the audition. But I didn’t confront things and I just didn’t.”
Furthermore, in the pages of the book, the star of Thelma and Louise He also recalled an occasion in which he participated in an interview with Murray in The Arsene Hall Showand how, during the broadcast, the comedian misbehaved, because he wanted to lower her dress, in addition to touching her in inappropriate ways.
The accusations against Bill Murray
Following his statements, a lengthy note appeared on the site of dead line. Several new anecdotes are collected there that are added to that of Davis. For example, Rob Schneider mentioned that Bill Murray was very vocal about his “pure rage” when he returned to driving. Saturday night Live and there was a new cast. According to Schneider, the protagonist of Ghostbusters he seemed to hate everyone for no apparent reason.
“He was not very nice to us. He hated us on Saturday Night Live when he was the host. He absolutely hated us. I mean, it was boiling hot. He hated Chris Farley with a passion. Like it boiled just looking at it.” Plus, he said he “really hated Sandler too.”
Another person who spoke about Bill Murray’s bad behavior was Seth Green, who also recalled the actor’s terrible behavior on SNL. Green was invited to be the kid in a skit. This was what happened behind the scenes while the 9-year-old was watching television:
“He saw me sitting on the arm of this chair and made a big fuss because I was in his seat. And I said, ‘That’s absurd. I am sitting on the arm of this chair. There are several sections of this armchair. Go away, if you’re so kind.’ And he said, ‘That’s my chair.’
Green refused to budge and that’s when Murray lost patience and attacked him.
“He grabbed me by the ankles and lifted me up, hung me upside down over a trash can and said, ‘Trash goes in the trash can.’ And I was screaming and waving my arms wildly, I was in direct contact with his balls. He dropped me in the boat and the boat fell over. I was horrified. I ran, hid under my dressing table and just cried.”

On the same note dead lineremember when last year Lucy Liu said that, during the filming of Charlie’s Angels, Murray attacked her with strong expressions and racist comments. Similarly, the director of said tape, McG, recalled that the actor gave him a headbutt. Liu said this:
“I stood up for myself and I don’t regret it. Because no matter how low you are on the totem pole or where you come from, there is no need to patronize or put others down. And I wouldn’t lower myself, nor should I.”
But these are not all the accusations against Bill Murray. It was recently revealed that the production of Being Deadly, a film in which he participated and which was Aziz Ansari’s debut as a director, had been suspended after a staff member complained about the actor’s sexual advances on the set. She said she was completely “horrified” as he kissed her and climbed on top of her, an act interpreted as “completely sexual”. In fact, the defendant paid $10,000 for the woman not to press charges.
Murray commented the following in this regard:
“I did something that I thought was funny. The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check everything, investigate it, and so they stopped production. But as of now, we are talking and trying to make peace with each other. I think that’s where the real problem is, between our peace. We are both professionals. We like each other’s work. We like each other, I think, and if you can’t get along and trust each other, there’s no point in continuing to work together or make a movie.”
