"It was not so": Lars von Trier denied allegations of sexual harassment, nominated by Björk

Danish film director 61-year-old Lars von Trier claims that he never pursued the 51-year-old pop star Bjork, with whom he worked on the musical "Dancing in the Dark."

Statement with a hint

On Monday, Bjork decided to join the female stars who wanted to talk about the powerful men who demanded from them sex. Without naming the name, the singer at her Facebook published a message, saying that she had an unpleasant experience of carnal claims on the part of the Danish filmmaker who had pestered her during filming in his film.

Björk

Given that Bjork is not a professional actress, her biography has only one project in which she collaborated with a director from Denmark and this is none other than Lars von Trier. Icelandic singer performed the main role in his musical drama "Dancing in the Dark".

Bjork claimed that after her rejection of the intimacy, this bad person did everything to take revenge, exposing her to a crew of a frenzied person, with whom it is incredibly difficult to find a common language in the work.

Protection of honor or not the case

Rumors of suspicion against him flew to Lars instantly and he gave an interview to the Danish newspaper Jylannds Posten and denied them, saying:

"It was not like that. But we certainly were not friends, not feeding each other warm feelings, it's a fact. "
Lars von Trier

Von Trier thought it necessary to add that perhaps Bjork had in mind some other Danish director (it's hard to believe, because the account of the singer has only two films).

He also noted that even after the lapse of years ("Dancing in the Dark" was filmed in 2000) considers the acting game Bjork one of the best.

Did not stay away from what is happening and Peter Olbek Jensen, who was the producer of the picture, specifying that Bjork could hardly be called a victim, unlike him and Lars. Producer in a conversation with reporters said:

"As far as I can remember, we were the victims. This woman was much stronger than Lars von Trier, I all our company together. She imposed her rules on us, she was going to close the project, worth $ 16 million. "
