Bill Murray is in hot water.
Murray has long been one of Hollywood’s biggest fan-favorite actors, but recently things have turned sour.
Earlier this year, reports began emerging of Murray’s “inappropriate behavior.”
The news of the “inappropriate behavior” led to a complaint being made against the seventy-two-year-old, which led to the production of one of his movies being suspended.
At the time, reps for the actor stayed quiet.
But now, Murray himself has broken his silence after sitting down with CNBC’s Becky Quick.
Murray explained:
“I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way. The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it.”
“And so they stopped the production.
“But as of now, we’re talking and we’re trying to make peace with each other,” he said.
“I think that’s where the real issue is, between our peace.
“We’re both professionals. We like each other’s work. We like each other, I think, and if you can’t really get along and trust each other, there’s no point in going further working together or making a movie as well,” Murray continued.
“The world is different than it was when I was a little kid. You know, what I always thought was funny as a little kid isn’t necessarily the same as what’s funny now.
“Things change and the times change, so it’s important for me to figure it out. And I think the most important thing is that it’s best for the other person. I thought about it, and if it’s not best for the other person, doesn’t matter what happens for me,” he finished.
Murray did not, however, mention what the “inappropriate behavior” was.
He added that he hopes to get the situation sorted soon.
But now, another star has spoken out against Murray…
And it has left the internet divided.
“She is calling him out for bad behavior-clearing out the bad blood from her archives. She is a wonderful actress with a genius level IQ,” wrote one person.
“This is becoming far too common nowadays. Let’s hold onto something a co-worker did in 1985 in the hope to use it when I want a return to relevance,” another disagreed.
Geena Davis revealed a “bad” encounter with Murray on the set of the 1990 movie Quick Change…
Davis, sixty-six, told The Times: “That was bad. The way he behaved at the first meeting.”
“I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn’t have got the part.
“I could have avoided that treatment if I’d known how to react or what to do during the audition,” she said.
“But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didn’t.
“There’s no point in regretting things, and yet, here I was regretting. And yes, exactly, it wasn’t my fault,” Davis said.
