According to a recent article, actor Bill Murray has been accused of having improper sexual contact with a female staff member of a movie production earlier this year.
The anonymous lady was allegedly “straddled” and “kissed” by the 72-year-old actor last spring when they were filming “Being Mortal.” The “much younger” employee apparently couldn’t move because of his weight. According to The New York Post, witnesses claim Murray tried to kiss the staff member while they were both hiding their faces.
Murray allegedly made an effort to defend himself, but the complainant said she was “horrified” and “interpreted his behaviors as wholly sexual” despite this.
Murray had previously addressed the controversy after the film got shut down earlier this year. He called the sexual assault allegations a “difference of opinion.”
“I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Murray said in April, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “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.”
“And I feel like if I don’t see that, you know, the world is different than it was when I was a little kid,” he continued. “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,” the comedian continued.
Immediately after the anonymous victim filed an official complaint, she and Murray agreed upon a settlement payment of more than $100,000.
