Lucy Liu Reflects on Confronting Bill Murray Over On-Set Insults

The actor stands by her decision to speak out against Murray’s behavior during the filming of Charlie’s Angels, describing it as an instinctive response to injustice.

Lucy Liu has reiterated her lack of regret about confronting Bill Murray on the set of the 2000 film Charlie’s Angels over what she described as 'inexcusable and unacceptable' insults directed at her during a rehearsal.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Liu explained that her decision to stand up for herself was driven by an innate sense of justice, saying, 'I am going to protect myself.'
Liu first spoke about the incident in 2021, revealing that Murray’s outburst followed script changes he was unaware of and included language she found deeply offensive.
The actor acknowledged that her refusal to stay quiet has made her career path more challenging but emphasized the importance of self-respect and dignity in the workplace.
Murray has faced other allegations of inappropriate behavior on set in recent years, including incidents reported during the production of Being Mortal and by actors such as Geena Davis and Seth Green.
