Bill Murray and his inappropriate behavior on the sets

The actor cum comedian, Bill supposedly misbehaved with women on the sets. That caused the shutdown of the production. An insider said:

“Bill was very hands-on touchy, not in any personal areas, but put an arm around a woman, touched her hair, pulled her ponytail — but always in a comedic way.”

“It is a fine line, and everybody loves Bill, but while his conduct is not illegal, some women felt uncomfortable, and he crossed a line,”

“he’s always flirting, but it is always couched in comedy. It isn’t clear if he crossed a line.”

Bill Murray and his past misconducts

This is not the first time that Bill has faced #MeToo accusations. Richard Dreyfuss’s son, Ben Dreyfuss who is now 35 also revealed the problems between Bill and his father, Richard on the sets of What About Bob. In this film, Bill was the overbearing patient of Richard who portrayed the role of a therapist in the film. The film’s producer was Laura Ziskin. And Bill had got physical with him. Ben said:

“My dad complained about his behavior and Bill Murray threw an ashtray at him,”

He added:

“Everyone walked off the production and flew back to LA and it only resumed after Disney hired some bodyguards to physically separate my dad and Bill Murray in between takes.”

There is an on-going #MeToo media witch-hunt which has destroyed the careers of many. How true the accusations are it is difficult to know.
