Bill Murray Reflects on 'Being Mortal' Misconduct Allegation and Fallout

The actor defends his actions as a joke, criticizes arbitration, and expresses disappointment over Disney shelving the film.

Bill Murray reiterated that his on-set kiss during the filming of 'Being Mortal' was intended as a joke, though it led to significant professional consequences.
The misconduct allegation, which involved a nonconsensual kiss through COVID masks, resulted in a $100,000 settlement and the halting of production on the film.
Murray criticized Disney's decision to shelve the project, calling it a major disappointment and attributing it to corporate HR policies.
He expressed frustration with the arbitration process, describing it as unjust and advising others to avoid it in similar situations.
Murray denied unrelated past allegations of misconduct by Geena Davis and Richard Dreyfuss, framing them as exaggerated or untrue.
