Keke Palmer Joins New Aziz Ansari Movie Following Bill Murray Drama
Actress Keke Palmer has joined actor-director Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, Good Fortune, nearly two years after what was supposed to be his directorial debut, a film called Being Mortal also starring Palmer, was scrapped amidst reports of costar Bill Murray’s “inappropriate behavior,” The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Being Mortal was shut down in April of 2022 after Murray reportedly straddled and kissed a member of the film’s crew while on set, and while both were wearing protective COVID-19 masks.
Murray was “particularly friendly” with the member of production he allegedly assaulted, according to Puck, and the woman, who later filed a complaint against Murray, said that the actor’s weight made it impossible for her to get him off. Puck reported at the time that contrary to rumors, Palmer was not the member of production who Murray allegedly assaulted.
