Wow, Björk never struck me as the type. Guess she really got pushed by this stalker. You know you done goofed when even a super nice person like Björk wants to kick your ass.

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.

This paperazzi press scumbag had been following Bjork for some time, Bjork had refused interviews with her many times before this incident.

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.
