Today, Björk told a story on Facebook about a time when she experienced sexual harassment while working with an unnamed filmmaker. “i am inspired by the women everywhere who are speaking up online to tell about my experience with a danish director,” she wrote. “it was extremely clear to me when i walked into the actresses profession that my humiliation and role as a lesser sexually harassed being was the norm and set in stone with the director and a staff of dozens who enabled it and encouraged it. ... 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.”

She goes on to say that after she confronted the director about his behavior, “he had a more fair and meaningful relationship with his actresses after my confrontation so there is hope.” She continued, “let's hope this statement supports the actresses and actors all over. let's stop this. there is a wave of change in the world.” Read her full statement below.

Beyond her music videos, Björk has only worked as an actress a handful of times. She starred in Danish director Lars Von Trier’s 2000 film Dancer in the Dark. Around the time of the film’s release, reports surfaced claiming that Björk and Von Trier clashed on set. She also appeared in films by Robert Altman, Nietzchka Keene, and Kristín Jóhannesdóttir.
