Seth Green has alleged that Bill Murray once dropped him in a trash can “by his ankles” as a child, making him the latest in a string of celebrities to make statements about Murray’s behavior after it appeared that he had paid US$100,000. to settle a complaint about his conduct on an upcoming film.
Speaking on YouTube show Good Mythical Morning, Green said the alleged incident happened backstage at Saturday Night Live when he was nine years old. Green appeared in a skit, while Murray hosted the episode.
“[Murray] saw me sitting on the arm of that chair and made a fuss about me being in his place,” Green said. “And I was like, ‘This is nonsense. I’m sitting on the arm of this sofa. There are several lengths of this sofa. Please leave. And he was like, ‘This is my chair.’ »
Green’s mother suggested her son move to Murray, but he refused. “He took me by the ankles,” Green said. “He held me upside down…He hung me over a trash can and he said, ‘Trash goes in the trash can. And I was screaming, and I swung my arms, flailed wildly, full contact with his balls. He threw me in the trash, the trash is falling. I was horrified. I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room and just cried.
Murray has yet to respond to Green’s allegations.
Green is the latest celebrity to speak out about Murray’s alleged past behavior, after it emerged the 72-year-old actor paid US$100,000 to settle a formal complaint filed by a female crew member who alleged that Murray had straddled her and kissed her. through a mask on the set of the movie Being Mortal.
Murray said he was “jokingly”, while the “much younger” woman said she interpreted his actions as “entirely sexual” and was “horrified”.
In April, Searchlight Pictures suspended production citing the complaint without naming Murray while he and the woman entered into mediation.
Murray admitted in April that it was his behavior that halted production. In an interview with CNBC, he described the incident as a “difference of opinion.”
“I did something that I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way,” he said. “The movie studio wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check everything, investigate, and so they stopped production.”
Last week, Murray’s former co-star Geena Davis alleged in her new memoir that Murray “insisted” on using a massage machine on her back while filming the 1990 movie Quick Change.
“I said no many times, but he didn’t back down,” Davis wrote. “I should have yelled at him and caused a scene if I was to get him to give up trying to force me to do it; the other men in the room did nothing to stop it. I realized with deep sadness that I did not yet have the capacity to withstand this onslaught – or simply walk away.
Davis also claimed that Murray verbally berated her in front of the crew while adjusting her wardrobe on set. “There were easily over 300 people there – and Murray was still yelling at me, for all to see and hear,” she wrote.
Sunday, the comedian Rob Schneider claimed that Murray “absolutely hated” the cast of Saturday Night Live when he hosted the show in 1993.
“He wasn’t very nice to us,” Schneider told The Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show. “He hated us on Saturday Night Live when he was hosting. He absolutely hated us. I mean, seething.
On Sunday, actor Keke Palmer, who also appears in Being Mortal, said she wasn’t sure the film would ever be finished and that “[Ansari] probably should do a major rewrite, but I know what we got was gold.
“If anyone could figure it out, it would be Aziz,” she told Variety. “Obviously we got cut off at some point, but I will say I’m pretty devastated. It’s an amazing movie. If there’s a way to end it, get it back, I’d like to do it.
