Given that Björk has appeared in relatively few films, and only one of those was helmed by a Danish man, the identity of the unnamed director was easy to deduce: Lars von Trier.
“That was not the case,” said Von Trier in a statement issued to the online edition of Danish paper Jyllands-Posten.
Though unnamed in her initial Facebook post, von Trier, who directed Björk in the harrowing musical drama Dancer in the Dark (released in 2000), immediately denied the singer’s claim.
The revelation came in the wake of over two dozen (and climbing) sexual assault and harassment allegations against disgraced former Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein.
