Director Lars Von Trier has responded to comments made by Bjork the other day insinuating him as someone who had harassed her while working on the 2000 film 'Dancer in the Dark'.
She said on Facebook on Sunday (full post below) that the women coming forward to share their experiences with Harvey Weinstein had inspired her to share her own with an unnamed 'Danish director'. ""I became aware of that it is a universal thing that a director can touch and harass his actresses at will and the institution of film allows it," she wrote. "When I turned the director down repeatedly he sulked and punished me and created for his team an impressive net of illusion where I was framed as the difficult one.
"I walked away from it and recovered in a year's time. I am worried though that other actresses working with the same man did not."
Now, Von Trier has replied, telling Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten: "That is not the case – although we didn't get along, that's a fact... On the other hand, she delivered one of the greatest-ever performances in my movies."
Meanwhile, a producer on the film, Peter Aalbaek Jensen, told The Guardian: "As far as I remember, we were victims. That woman was stronger than both Lars von Trier and me and our company together. She dictated everything and was about to close a movie of 100m kroner [$16m]."
