The Icelandic singer and occasional actress Björk has spoken out about the harassment she suffered at the hands of an unnamed director.

In a Facebook post she says that she is "inspired by women everywhere who are speaking up online" and goes on to describe how she had repeatedly rejected the advances of the director and that he had "sulked and punished me and created for his team an impressive net of illusion where I was framed as the difficult one".

She also claims that the people working for the director "enabled and encouraged" his actions and that it was "a universal thing".
