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.”
