Wes Anderson won't address accusations against Bill Murray, says he's "part of my family"

As for the allegations against Murray, production on the film Being Mortal—which was supposed to be Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut—was shut down after someone filmed a complaint about Murray’s inappropriate behavior (which he later suggested was his attempt to do something “funny” that “wasn’t taken that way”), and that prompted Lucy Liu to eventually come forward with her own story about “unacceptable” comments Murray had made about her on the set of Charlie’s Angels. That then prompted Geena Davis to speak out about her own issues with Murray on the set of Quick Change in the ‘90s.

Anderson, in that IndieWire chat, declined to really address any of that, simply saying that he doesn’t “want to speak about somebody else’s experience.” But he did stand by Murray, saying that he’s “really part of my family” and was the one who “splashed the water” when his daughter was baptized. He also noted that his experience working with Murray is “so extensive” and that he’s been “a great supporter of me from the very beginning,” so take all of that however you choose to.
