Bill Murray addressed the complaint of inappropriate behavior against him that caused his new movie, “Being Mortal,” to shut down: “It’s been quite an education for me.” lat.ms/3w1PUDK
Murray did not share any specifics about what led to the complaint on the set of Aziz Ansari’s new film, but suggested it arose out of a misunderstanding over an intended joke and expressed his hope that the situation will soon be resolved. lat.ms/3ye2nHr
“I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” said Murray. “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.” lat.ms/3w1PUDK 
Murray has earned a reputation for sometimes difficult behavior with co-stars and producers alike. Last year, #CharliesAngels co-star Lucy Liu spoke of an incident in which Murray hurled insults at her while the two were working together on the 2000 film. lat.ms/3MId4G3
“Some of the language was inexcusable and unacceptable, and I was not going to just sit there and take it,” Liu told The Times’ “Asian Enough” podcast. “I stood up for myself, and I don’t regret it.” lat.ms/3MId4G3
