Actress Virginia Davis, best known as Geena Davis, is a famous Oscar-winning actress who has worked with many Hollywood greats throughout her long career.
The 66-year-old actor recently released his new book, “Dying of Politeness: A Memoir,” in which he gives an honest look at some of the encounters he’s had in his career, including with “Ghostbusters” actor Bill Murray, who was accused of behaved inappropriately on the set of Aziz Ansari’s debut film, “Being Mortal” earlier this year.

The “Thelma & Louise” star told PEOPLE that the incident happened while she was working with Bill Murray, now 72, on the set of the movie “Quick Change,” which was released in 1990 and also featured appearances from Tony Shalhoub, Randy Quaid, and Philip Bosco.
Davis told the publication that he “never talked about it publicly,” referring to the incident he mentions in his book. She claims that she was introduced to the “Caddyshack” actor in a hotel room, where he “insisted” on using a massager on her.

“I said no several times, but he wouldn’t give in,” Davis wrote in his memoirs. “I had to shout at him and cause an incident if I wanted him to give up trying to force me to do it; the other men in the room did nothing to stop him. I realize with deep sadness that I don’t yet have the ability to withstand this attack — or just to get out.”
During this encounter, Davis said that Murray “put that thing on my back for about two seconds.”

While the two were still working on the film together in New York, the “Stuart Little” star said the “Groundhog Day” actor verbally berated her in front of the crew while she waited for wardrobe to fix her outfit.
“There were more than 300 people there – and Murray was still shouting at me, for everyone to see and hear,” he wrote in his memoirs.
“For publicity, I saw him after we did the movie, but other than that, I never saw him or talked to him,” Davis told PEOPLE. “I think it’s pretty common knowledge that he can be difficult to work with. So I didn’t feel like I was busting him in a way that would definitely shock him. I think he knows exactly how he can behave.”

The publication also referenced a 2021 interview with “Elementary” actress Lucy Liu. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times’ Asian Enough podcast, Liu recalled how Murray was unable to attend rehearsals for a scene in 2000’s “Charlie’s Angels.” When she started filming the actual scene, Liu claimed that Murray picked on her and scolded her in front of the crew as well.
“When we were doing the scene, Bill started throwing insults, and I won’t go into specifics, but it went on and on,” he claimed. “I was, like, ‘Wow, he looks like he’s looking right at me.’ I don’t believe that [the comments] maybe against me because what did I have to do with anything important at that time? I literally looked over my shoulder, like, who is he talking behind my back? I said, ‘I’m sorry. Are you talking to me?’ And obviously, he is, because then it starts to become one-on-one communication.”
“Some of that language is inexcusable and unacceptable, and I’m not going to just sit there and take it,” Liu added. “So, yeah, I stood up for myself, and I don’t regret it.”

While she attended the premiere of Jordan Peele’s “Nope” in July, Deadline caught up with Emmy award-winning actress Keke Palmer and asked what she knew about the alleged misconduct against Bill Murray on set.
Palmer said that he had “a wonderful time filming” and called Aziz Ansari “one of the greatest people I’ve ever met.”
“That was the greatest experience, but I don’t know anything else,” he added.
In April, Murray claimed that her suspension had caused a “difference of opinion” between her and another woman on set. Those interested can read his full statement by clicking here.
