Bill Murray Addresses 'Being Mortal' Misconduct Complaint, Hopes To 'Make Peace' With Accuser

Bill Murray has acknowledged that his behavior on the set of "Being Mortal" led to a complaint from a woman and the suspension of production on his latest movie.

The 71-year-old Golden Globe winner appeared Saturday on CNBC from the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting, where he addressed the allegations of on-set misconduct made against him.

Murray admitted that he "had a difference of opinion" with a woman working on the production but declined to provide the details of what transpired or who was involved.

"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," Murray said.

The "Groundhog Day" actor's comments come nearly two weeks after Searchlight Pictures suspended production on the Aziz Ansari-directed movie amid an investigation into a complaint involving Murray. The nature of the complaint was not disclosed, but reports said it was about alleged "inappropriate behavior" on set.

Murray said that he is "optimistic" that he and his accuser can "make peace."

"As of now, we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other. I think that's where the real issue is, between our peace," he shared.

"We're both professionals, we like each others' work," he continued. "We like each other, I think, and if we can't really get along and trust each other, there's no point in going further working together or making the movie as well. It's been quite an education for me."

Murray admitted that the issue has affected his life and that he has "done not much else but thinking about it" in recent weeks. He said that he doesn't want to be "a sad dog that can't learn anymore."

The "Zombieland" star said he hopes that both he and his accuser would eventually be able to work together and trust each other again in order to "hopefully do something that's good for more than just the two of us, but for a whole crew of people, the movie makers and the movie studio as well."

The studio reportedly halted production on April 18 before suspending work on the film two days later, detailing the decision in an email to the cast and crew.

An unnamed source told New York Post's Page Six that on the set of "Being Mortal," Murray 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," the insider alleged.

Ansari, who was reportedly not part of the complaint, is set to make his directorial debut alongside his producing partner Henley in the film, which the "Parks and Recreation" actor also writes and stars in. The cast also includes Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.
