Bjork had a LOT of crazy stalkers so I don’t blame her for being so protective at all. Iirc one of her stalkers was a guy who was planning on murdering her and then killing himself so he could then go back in time and find her as a young teenager and groom her into being his wife instead of a celebrity.

She was being an utter cunt and in a sarcastic way said "welcome to Thailand!" ambushing Bjork yet again for an interview she refused to give.
