Björk breaks the silence and reveals to have been sexually harassed by a Danish director – Gala

testimony

The testimonies of victims of sexual harassment and assault pile up. This Sunday, October 15, Björk revealed in turn to have been sexually harassed by a Danish director, which she prefers to hide the name.

Since the revelations of the case of Harvey Weinstein, women are more likely to denounce sexual harassment, sexual assaults and the rapes of which they were victims. The last to have taken the word is Björk. Sunday 15 October, the icelandic singer revealed to have been sexually harassed during a shooting by a Danish director. “I realized that the fact that a director has the right to harass and touch her actresses according to his desire, and that the film industry allows it, and that it is a universal standard. As I fought against it many times the developer in question, he sulked and me punished, and it gave his team the impression that I was the person with problems”, she wrote on Facebook.

In his testimony, Björk has also been a “team of dozens of people who helped and encouraged ” the behaviour of the abuser. If she doesn’t mention his name, many see his message as the description of Lars Von Trier, who had led in Dancer in the dark, in 2000. The shooting of the film was so badly conducted that the singer, 51-year-old at the time had announced that they wanted to stop the film.

Fortunately, this event did not compromise her career : “with my strength, my team and my entourage, and the fact that I had nothing to lose, having no ambition in the world of cinema. I got diverted and it took me several years to heal “. And to conclude : “let’s Stop this. A wave of change sweeping across the world“.
