Bill Murray's comedy legend is renowned. So too, now, is his alleged mean, bullying and inappropriate behaviour.
In April 2022, production of the film Being Mortal was suspended after Murray was accused of 'inappropriate behaviour' towards a woman on set.
Six months later, more details about that incident were reported, and the news led to a domino effect of other actors sharing their own negative experiences with the 72-year-old.
Of course, allegations have been levelled at Murray before: his treatment of Lucy Liu has been discussed many times, and some of his feuds with fellow comedians are infamous.
Here's everything we know.
'Inappropriate behaviour' and a US$100,000 settlement.
On October 10 2022, Puck reported that Murray had paid a US$100,000 settlement to a "much younger" female crew member on Being Mortal. In April, production on the Aziz Ansari directed film was suspended due to a complaint made against Murray for inappropriate behaviour.
In an April sit-down interview with CNBC, Murray addressed the allegations.
"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," he said.
He said he'd had "quite an education" in the weeks following.
"The world is different than it was when I was a little kid," he said. "What I thought was funny as a little kid isn't necessarily what is funny now. Things change and the times change. It's important to me to figure it out. And the most important thing is that it's best for the other person."
