The exact details of the complaint were not disclosed when the news broke. However, a source later claimed to Page Six that Murray had become too “handsy” with a woman involved in the movie, explaining: Related: Drew Barrymore Shared Her Side Of The Charlie’s Angels Fight Between Lucy Liu & Bill Murray  Murray has remained silent on the matter since production stopped – well, until now.
