The most compelling evidence to point to this comes in the form of a lengthy Instagram post that Keke shared on April 18, 2022. There, she spoke about "professionalism" in the workplace and made a slew of comments that many attributed to being about Bill. The actress led off by saying that "It’s not always about how good you are at the actual job … It’s about how you show up to the job.

Back in 2021, per Deadline, Lucy opened up about an altercation she had with Bill while filming 2000's Charlie's Angels. She explained that Bill started "to sort of hurl insults" at her after rewrites were done on the film, noting that his words were "inexcusable and unacceptable."Article continues below advertisement
The star stood her ground against Bill, telling the publication "I stood up for myself, and I don’t regret it, because no matter how low on the totem pole you may be or wherever you came from, there’s no need to condescend or to put other people down." The last Bill spoke on that matter was in a 2009 interview where he said "Look, I will dismiss you completely if you are unprofessional and working with me."
As of now production on ' Being Mortal' remains halted When will it release
As investigations into the situation and peace talks between Bill and the other concerned parties continue, production on Being Mortal is halted indefinitely. The film was originally set to release sometime in 2023, per Page Six, but that date may have to be shifted further back depending on how long and impactful the investigation is on the production overall.Article continues below advertisementSource: Getty Images

It’s an amazing film. If there is some way to be able to complete, salvage it, I would want to do that."
Keke noted, however, that the film was only about a month away from completion when issues arose, so it would likely require the star "to do a major rewrite" in order to release Being Mortal. "But I know what we got is gold," she noted, calling Aziz "incredible."AdvertisementMore from Distractify
