Who says lightning never strikes twice in international airports?
Bjork has been pretty well behaved since she attacked a female reporter in an airport in Thailand in 1996, but this weekend she was back to her bad old ways on arriving at Auckland airport. Her assistant approached the photographer Glenn Jeffrey and asked him not to take any pictures. Jeffrey, fully within his rights, disagreed with this course of action and managed to squeeze off a few pictures before Bjork erupted and flew at him, all hair, teeth and scary voice.
"I took a couple of pictures and I got about three or four frames of her," said Jeffrey, bottom lip wobbling at the thought that he had become the news, "And as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy and tore it down the back." Which he probably deserves for calling a garment 'a skivvy'.
"As she did this she fell over, she fell to the ground. At no stage did I touch her or speak with her. Bjork said nothing throughout the incident but the man with her was saying: "B, don't do this, B, don't do this!"'
Superb! Jeffrey is reserving the right to press charges, just waiting to see how much money he can make from the encounter before making the final decision over whether to sue over a ripped skivvy.
In future, Bjork would be better off using her 'unique' voice to dissuade eager photographers, pointing her finger at them and squealing like Donald Sutherland in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.
