Geena Davis revealed Monday that Bill Murray, 72, allegedly yelled at her while wearing a clown suit on the set of her 1990 comedy Quick Change.
Davis first accused the actor in October of using a massager on her in her hotel room despite her refusal in her 1989 memoir Dying of Politeness. Now she detailed the alleged on-set incident while appearing in New York magazine On with Kara Swisher.
According to the 66-year-old, she was meeting up with Murray and the co-producers when he allegedly asked her if she’d tried the device.
“I say, ‘No, no, no, thank you.’ And he’s staying tuned,” Davis claimed. “And I keep saying ‘no,’ to the point where I should have yelled at him, ‘Stop the fuck asking me! I dont do this. Do you understand?’ Which I was way too shy for.
“So I sat on the corner of the bed and let him do that and he did it for about a second and then didn’t ask how I liked it or anything. So I realized it was just to see if he could force me to do something inappropriate,” Davis claimed.
The actress said none of the other men in the room tried to stop Murray.
