A complaint was reportedly filed against actor Bill Murray for “inappropriate behavior” on the set of 'Being Mortal,' helmed by Aziz Ansari.

Charlie’s Angels director McG claims that Murray once headbutted him during production (Murray denies this), and he had a rumored verbal altercation with Lucy Liu while filming. He has had several public feuds with his colleagues, including producer Laura Ziskin, who worked with Murray on 1991’s What About Bob? and said that he broke her sunglasses and threatened to toss her into a lake during filming. Not much more is known about the complaint, but per Deadline it does not involve Ansari, who was the subject of a viral 2018 article describing a questionably consensual sexual encounter its author had with him.

Searchlight Pictures made the decision to suspend production going forward as the investigation proceeds. The studio has not said whether Murray will remain part of the film. Deadline was the first to report of the allegations against Murray. The full details of the complaint are unknown.

Barrymore recently backed claims by Lucy Liu that Murray was verbally abusive and behaved inexcusably on the set of 'Charlie's Angels.'

In the past, Murray has referred to himself as a “professional drinker” and talked about how carefully cultivated drunkenness can make people more entertaining, as Newsweek reported. “And what you have to know is how much Lucy stood up for herself and that was the great thing that came out of an unfortunate circumstance,” Barrymore continued. Dreyfuss told Yahoo that Murray’s actions were disturbing enough that he was long reluctant to talk about the situation. Sources told Deadline that the suspension had to do with a complaint made against Murray, not co-stars Seth Rogen or Aziz Ansari, who also is writing and making his directorial debut on the film. “As we’re doing the scene, Bill starts to sort of hurl insults, and I won’t get into the specifics, but it kept going on and on,” said Liu, who saw that he was looking at her. Several months later, Barrymore revealed that she had reached out to Liu to “back her up,” IndieWire reported.
