Danish director rejects singer’s allegation as the producer of Dancer in the Dark claims he and Von Trier ‘were the victims’Danish film director Lars von Trier has rejected Icelandic pop singer Björk’s allegation that he sexually harassed her during the making of the movie Dancer in the Dark. But that we were definitely not friends, that’s a fact,” Von Trier told Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in its online edition. Producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen, who has partnered with Von Trier on many films including Dancer in the Dark, meanwhile told Jyllands Posten that he and Von Trier “were the victims”. That woman was stronger than both Lars von Trier and me and our company put together. It’s not the first time Von Trier has been at the centre of controversy.
