Lucy Liu remembers calling out Bill Murray’s “inexcusable” language on ‘Charlie’s Angels’ set

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. Are you talking to me?’— and clearly he was, because then it started to become a one-on-one communication”. Liu described Murray’s language as “inexcusable and unacceptable.”Over three years after talking about it, Liu spoke to The Guardian about why she made the revelation.
