Now the US side wants “Page Six” from a set employee have found out more details about the reasons behind this decision. According to the report, Murray made some female co-stars uncomfortable with being too close.

He said he didn’t touch anyone in private places, but put his arm around a woman, touched her hair, pulled her ponytail – but always in a comedic way. It’s a fine line and everyone loves Bill.

Not the first time

And already in the summer of 2021, the actress Lucy Liu (53) made a dispute with her colleague Murray public. Together they stood in front of the camera for the movie “Charlie’s Angels” in 2000. Liu reported that Murray allegedly insulted her. “Some of his language was inexcusable and unacceptable and I didn’t want to just sit there and take it,” she said on the Los Angeles Times podcast “Asian Enough.”
