GAFFA.se – allt om musik

Efter den senaste tidens nyheter om filmproducenten Harvey Weinsteins sexuella övergrepp mot kvinnor i filmbranschen har hashtaggen #MeToo fått stor spridning. Via den skriver kvinnor om sina egna upplevelser beträffande sexuella trakasserier och övergrepp. Så även världsstjärnan Björk.

I söndags avslöjade hon några obehagliga upplevelser med en "dansk regissör" och Lars von Trier har senare avvisat dessa beskyllningar. Nu har den isländska artisten delat ännu ett Facebook-inlägg där hon beskriver mer ingående vad det är hon har upplevt i samband med filminspelningar.

Det handlar om långa obehagliga situationer till förfrågningar om att komma in på hennes rum på natten med sexuella intentioner.

– Då jag efter två månader bad honom att sluta ta på mig exploderade han och förstörde en stol rakt framför alla medarbetare.

"in the spirit of #metoo i would like to lend women around the world a hand with a more detailed description of my experience with a danish director . it feels extremely difficult to come out with something of this nature into the public , especially when immediately ridiculed by offenders . i fully sympathise with everyone who hesitates , even for years . but i feel it is the right time especially now when it could make a change . here comes a list of the encounters that i think count as sexual harassment :

1 after each take the director ran up to me and wrapped his arms around me for a long time in front of all crew or alone and stroked me sometimes for minutes against my wishes


2 when after 2 months of this i said he had to stop the touching , he exploded and broke a chair in front of everyone on set . like someone who has always been allowed to fondle his actresses . then we all got sent home .

3 during the whole filming process there were constant awkward paralysing unwanted whispered sexual offers from him with graphic descriptions , sometimes with his wife standing next to us .

4 while filming in sweden , he threatened to climb from his room´s balcony over to mine in the middle of the night with a clear sexual intention , while his wife was in the room next door . i escaped to my friends room . this was what finally woke me up to the severity of all this and made me stand my ground


5 fabricated stories in the press about me being difficult by his producer . this matches beautifully the weinstein methods and bullying . i have never eaten a shirt . not sure that is even possible .

6 i didnt comply or agree on being sexually harassed . that was then portrayed as me being difficult . if being difficult is standing up to being treated like that , i´ll own it .

hope


let´s break this curse
