Drew Barrymore remembers Bill Murray being in a 'bad mood' before he and Lucy Liu got into an on-set dispute while filming Charlie's Angels in 2000. 

Barrymore touched on the incident during Tuesday's episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, backing up Liu's claims Murray 'hurl[ed] insults' at the actress, prompting a tense discussion.

Lucy, 52, opened up about the incident on Los Angeles Times' Asian Enough podcast in August, after a production assistant on the shoot dished about the fight on Twitter in July, saying 'there were tears but no violence.'

Drew didn't offer a ton of details but explained: 'Okay, so what really happened was Bill was just in a -- you know comedians can be a little dark sometimes -- and he just came in in a bad mood and what you have to know is how much Lucy stood up for herself and that was the great thing that came out of an unfortunate circumstance.'

'She literally said, "I do not accept that kind of behavior from you." And we all supported her and backed her up and we moved forward.'

When accounts of the incident resurfaced, Barrymore was quick to reach out to Liu and share a video she made backing up her story.

She explained: 'I got to say, Lucy is out there you right now, talking about her instance with Bill Murray, and I did this whole video and sent it to her to back her up and she was like, "Nah, I don't need it."

In August, the Elementary actress discussed the long-rumored blow-up with the Los Angeles Times' Asian Enough podcast.

Liu was still relatively unknown to the masses when she was cast alongside Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels.

She said that the incident really started when the main cast members re-worked a scene when Murray wasn't there, that made the scene, 'more fluid.'

She added she wished she had more to do with that scene, but she was, 'the last one cast and I probably had the least amount of privilege in terms of creatively participating at that time.'
