Drew Barrymore remembers Lucy Liu and Bill Muray fight

The actor backed his friend after Liu recently told the Los Angeles Times that she and Bill Murray allegedly disagreed over the set of their 2000 film, charlie’s angels.

“I have to say, Lucy is here right now talking about her example with Bill Murray, and I made this whole video and sent it to her to save it, and she said, ‘No, I don’t need it, ‘”the Drew Barrymore Show animator recalled in her program.

Barrymore then went on to explain what exactly happened between Liu and Murray.

“OK, so what really happened was Bill was just in a – you know comedians can be a little dark sometimes – and he just walked in in a bad mood,” she explained. .

“And what you need to know is how well Lucy stood up for herself, and that’s the great thing that came out of an unfortunate circumstance,” Barrymore continued.

She literally said, ‘I don’t accept that kind of behavior from you. “And we all supported and supported it, and we moved forward.”

Barrymore noted that Murray’s animosity was “general” before “focusing” on Liu.

“I respected her then; I respect her now. I’m proud of us as a team and a company that we didn’t tiptoe on eggshells, ”Barrymore said.

“We dealt with it on the spot, we were strong and we moved forward, and we took no less to move forward.”

In Liu’s interview with the Los Angeles Times, she said Murray lost his temper when one of his scenes was being reworked. Even though she didn’t have much to say about it, he started to focus his anger on her.

“Some of the language was inexcusable and unacceptable, and I wasn’t going to just sit there and take it,” Liu recalls. “So, yes, I defended myself and I don’t regret it.”

“Because no matter how much you are on the totem pole or where you come from, there is no need to condescend or belittle others,” she continued. “And I wouldn’t retire, and neither should I.”

You’re totally right!
