Seth Green Says Bill Murray Bullied Him When He Was Nine On ‘Saturday Night Live’ Set

Actor Seth Green came out with an unpleasant story about Bill Murray bullying him as a young child actor in a recent interview.

Green was appearing on a series for Good Mythical Morning hosted by YouTubers Rhett & Link, where he and the hosts had to either answer tough interview questions or eat some nasty food.

Murray has been discussed recently after he was fired from the film Being Mortal earlier this year after accusations of “inappropriate behavior” by the famed actor. It has now been revealed that Murray paid $100,000 in a settlement to a female crew member that he reportedly sexually harassed.

Green immediately elected to answer a question in the last round when the group were asked “who is the rudest celebrity you’ve ever met, and tell us what was so bad about them.”

He said he was appearing on Saturday Night Live in a small role as a child in a fake news report. Green first set the scene, saying the moment happened when he was hanging out with the other stars of the show in the green room, and even mentioned a funny interaction he had with Eddie Murphy.

Murray was the host of this episode and Green said, “He saw me sitting on the arm of this chair, and made a big fuss about me being in his seat.”

After a bit of back-and-forth where the young Green protested, he said Murray, “picked me up by my ankles, held me upside down.”

Murray then employed bully tactics that the writer of a 1980’s high school movie would’ve said sounded too cheesy.

“He dangled me over a trashcan, and he was like, ‘The trash goes in the trashcan!’ and I was screaming.” Green said while he was flailing in the air, he accidentally hit Murray in the groin.

“He dropped me in the trashcan, the trashcan falls over, I was horrified. I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room, and just cried.”

Green then said he was comforted by cast members Murphy and Tim Kazurinksy who said to him, “Hey, everybody knows Bill’s a d–ck.”

While a generous reading could see this as a stressed out Murray making a bad attempt at a joke, directing it towards a nine-year old child actor that doesn’t know any better doesn’t really make a generous reading possible.

You can watch Green tell the story to decide what you think for yourself.
