Geena Davis is opening up about some of Bill Murray’s inappropriate behavior. Geena appeared alongside Bill in the 1990 film Quick Change. She is opening up about several incidents in her new memoir called Dying of Politeness and how she wishes she would have responded differently.
At first, Geena tried to laugh off some of his behavior even though it made her feel uncomfortable. During the first time they met at auditions, she said Bill “insisted” on using a massage device called “The Thumper” on her back. She said no several times.

However, she explained in a 1990 interview, “So he gets out this Thumper thing, and he says, ‘You should try this, I’m going to massage your back with this thing,’ and I’m thinking, โNo way.’ I’m like, this is part of how I’m going to be tough, there’s no way in hell I’m going to let him touch me with this thing. And, you know, cut to five minutes later, and I’m laying on the couch, and he’s [using the massage device] on my back with this thing.”

In a more recent interview, Geena admitted,ย “I forgot that telling it that way, just as a humorous anecdote, I must have thought, โWell, itโs ultimately funny, or makes a good story,โ when in fact it was so devastating.” She said she felt shame over the interaction but added,ย “I donโt feel like that anymore. I really, really do recognize that it wasnโt my fault.”
Bill has since apologized for another interaction he was under fire for. He said, โWhat I always thought was funny as a little kid isnโt necessarily the same as whatโs funny now. Things change, and the times change. I think itโs a sad dog that canโt learn anymore. I think thatโs a really sad puppy that canโt learn anymore. I donโt want to be that sad dog and I have no intention of it.โ
