Bill Murray Horror Stories Piling Up With Seth Green Accusation: ‘Dropped Me in the Trash’ at Age 9

Seth Green has joined a growing chorus of stars who have accused Bill Murray of inappropriate workplace behavior, with details emerging about Murray’s misconduct on the set of “Being Mortal.”

In April, Searchlight abruptly halted production on the Aziz Ansari film due to a “complaint” that was revealed to be about Murray. According to reports, the veteran comedian kissed and straddled a young female staff member “as a joke,” resulting in a settlement that cost him upwards of $100,000.

In the aftermath of the shutdown, several of Murray’s former coworkers have come forward with their own stories. On Thursday, Green appeared on the YouTube show “Good Mythical Morning,” where he spoke about an encounter he had with Murray while appearing on “Saturday Night Live” when he was 9 years old.

The “Robot Chicken” co-creator said Murray grew angry with Green when he refused to give up his spot on a couch backstage.

“He picked me up by my ankles,” Green recalled. “Held me upside down… He dangled me over a trash can and he was like, ‘The trash goes in the trash can.’ And I was screaming, and I swung my arms, flailed wildly, full contact with his balls. He dropped me in the trash can, the trash can falls over. I was horrified. I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room and just cried.”

A day before the report about the “Being Mortal” incident went public, Geena Davis told The Times about Murray’s abusive behavior on the set of 1989’s “Quick Change.” Davis said that at their first meeting, which took place in a hotel suite, Murray insisted on using a massage device on her, even after she refused. Later in the shoot, he allegedly screamed at her for being late in front of hundreds of their colleagues.

“That was bad,” she reflected. “The way he behaved at the first meeting… I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn’t have got the part.”

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show,” former “SNL” cast member Rob Schneider revealed that Murray “absolutely hated” the cast when he returned as a guest host.

“He hated us on ‘Saturday Night Live’ when he hosted. Absolutely hated us. I mean, seething,” Schneider said, noting that he particularly disliked then-cast members Adam Sandler and Chris Farley.

Schneider recalled a filmmaker telling him once that with Murray, “you don’t know who you’re gonna get… The nice Bill Murray? Or you’re gonna get the tough Bill Murray?’ He’s super nice to fans. He wasn’t very nice to us.”

TheWrap has reached out to Murray’s representative for comment.
