A pop star announced Sunday that an unnamed Danish director sexually harassed her, in the wake of the growing list of women speaking out about assault in Hollywood.

“I became aware of that it is a universal thing that a director can touch and harass his actresses at will and the institution of film allows it . when I turned the director down repeatedly he sulked and punished me and created for his team an impressive net of illusion where I was framed as the difficult one,” Icelandic pop star Bjork wrote in a Facebook post. “Because of my strength , my great team and because I had nothing to lose having no ambitions in the acting world, I walked away from it and recovered in a years time.”

Bjork’s allegations come on the heels of a growing number of actresses accusing Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and rape.

Some are speculating that the unidentified director is Lars Von Trier who directed Bjork’s only feature film, “Dancer in the Dark.” In a statement from Von Trier’s assistant to the Rolling Stone, “Lars declines the accusations Björkhas made, but doesn’t wish to comment any further,” the Guardian reported.
