What Bill Murray said about his scandal for sexual misconduct

It was a few years ago that allegations of sexual misconduct against Bill Murray were founded, and the famous Mercury star has opened up on the claims. According to Murray, the allegations that the film in the film where he worked at the time are pursuing to this time. “I don't go too many days or weeks without thinking about what happened in” mortal “,” said Murray in an interview with the New York Times in April. “I tried to make peace. I thought I would try to make peace. In the end I was grilled.”

As Murray reminds, he was on the set with a crew member with whom he had friends from the pandemic during production. This meant that everyone on the set was wearing a mask and Murray thought it would be fun to kiss this woman through her masks. “I don't know what caused me. It is something I had done someone else before and I thought it was funny,” said Murray. “It wasn't as if I had touched her, but it was only, I gave her a kiss through a mask.”

When the incident took place in April 2022, the film was stopped and Suchlight pictures initiated an internal examination. The woman claimed that Murray had clamped her on a bed and kissed her through her mask. Murray and the unnamed production assistant have entered the mediation and Murray finally decided in October 2022 with $ 100,000, but production on the film was never resumed.

After questions arose about the cause of the production shutdown, the actor confirmed that he was the cause of the problem of the on-set question. In conversation with CNBC weeks after the film came to a standstill in April 2022, Murray said that everything was due to a “discretion” between him and a member of the crew, but was not in detail.

Murray, however, admitted that the experience was “an apprenticeship” for him and explained: “The world is different from me. What I always thought was funny, since a small child is not necessarily the same as what is now funny. Things change and the times change so that it is important to me to find it out.” With the New York Times in April 2025, three years later, Murray said that he still had the feeling that his intention was simply to keep “the mood” on the set of a film who was about hospice care and a man who deals with the impending death of his sick father.

As for the stories of his less than ingenious behavior in the past-a single an alarming interaction with a young Seth Green and his own complicated relationship history-called Murray of the publication that people began to look for other dirty stories in order to build a negative narrative. “If someone has an episode like mine to 'be mortal', the world is looking for more proof that this person is a monster,” said Murray.
