New report outlines Bill Murray’s alleged misconduct on film set and $100,000 settlement

nme.com:

Bill Murray allegedly engaged in on a film set earlier this year, claiming that Murray reached a monetary settlement with his accuser.Back in April, production on the comedy Being Mortal – roughly half of which had been shot under Disney’s Searchlight Pictures – was suspended.

It was reported at the time that Murray would be investigated for his alleged behaviour, however details surrounding the allegation itself were kept under wraps.That changed slightly in May, when Murray himself opened up about the situation.

In an interview with CNBC, he explained: “I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with. I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way.”According to this week’s report – published on Monday (October 10) by Puck – the incident involved Murray being physically inappropriate with a female staffer on the set of Being Mortal.

The woman’s name is withheld for the sake of her privacy, though it’s noted that Murray’s alleged victim was not co-star Keke Palmer, dispelling recent rumours.It’s said that Murray had been “particularly friendly” with the woman, who was “much younger” than him (Murray was 71 at the time of the alleged incident), and had erroneously read their interactions as flirting.So claims the report: “At one moment when the two were in close proximity near a bed that was part of the production, Murray started kissing her body and straddling her… She couldn’t move because he outweighed her, she alleged.
