Kill Bill and Shazam! Fury Of The Gods star Lucy Liu has looked on back on revealing her on-set argument with Charlie’s Angels co-star Bill Murray, saying she doesn’t regret calling out the actor.In 2021, Liu appeared on the Los Angeles Times podcast Asian Enough, talking about a confrontation with Murray, whom she claimed began to “hurl insults” at her through frustration at a particular scene’s rewrite.“I couldn’t believe that [his comments] could be towards me” she said, “Because what do I have to do with anything majorly important at that time?”She continued: “I said, ‘I’m so sorry.

I would have done that in any situation. I think when I sense something is not right, I am going to protect myself.

Murray has not spoken about the incident, although in 2022 production on the film Being Mortal was suspended due to allegations of his inappropriate behaviour.The Ghostbusters star commented on the claims to CNBC shortly after the news broke, saying: “I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with.
