As far as I can tell, the production of Aziz Ansari’s Being Mortal is still shut down. The studio is investigating and trying to figure out a way to get through this. Production was suspended last week after someone reported Bill Murray for inappropriate behavior. This is nothing new from Murray, as I said last week. While people have highly selective memories about Murray, he has a reputation as a son of a bitch among coworkers and costars. His ex-wife accused him of abuse, he verbally abused Lucy Liu, he acted disrespectfully towards Mahershala Ali, and there are anecdotal stories about his gross and predatory behavior around women. Speaking of, Page Six’s sources say that Murray’s behavior around women was the reason why there were complaints about Murray.
Bill Murray was allegedly “touchy” with the women on set of “Being Mortal,” before the shoot was shut down, a source exclusively tells The Post. Filming of the 71-year-old “Saturday Night Live” legend’s movie was suspended last week after a complaint was reportedly filed specifically against the actor, alleging “inappropriate behavior.” By Thursday, the film was suspended indefinitely amid an investigation into the “Ghostbusters” star’s on-set actions.
A source told Page Six, “He was very hands-on touchy, not in any personal areas, but put an arm around a woman, touched her hair, pulled her ponytail — but always in a comedic way. It is a fine line and everybody loves Bill, but while his conduct is not illegal, some women felt uncomfortable and he crossed a line.”
A separate source says that Murray, who is apparently single, “Loves women and loves to flirt, he enjoys poetry and romance, he’s always flirting, but it is always couched in comedy. It isn’t clear if he crossed a line.”
Two lawyers for Murray didn’t respond to inquiries, and a spokesperson for “Being Mortal” at Fox Searchlight declined to comment.
This is a gross way to frame it from Page Six and their “sources.” “While his conduct is not illegal, some women felt uncomfortable and he crossed a line…” The bar should not be set at “well, it wasn’t illegal.” If you make a woman feel uncomfortable, that’s on you, not the woman and things don’t have to rise to criminality to be disgusting, inappropriate and unprofessional. Bill Murray is a grown man who put his hands all over women, pulled their hair and believed he was being “romantic.” I’m so glad that the women on the production didn’t put up with it and they complained.
