Bjork’s Legal Woes

She’s always been ahead of her time artistically-speaking, but quirky singer Bjork may have to slow down and deal with a lawsuit stemming from an alleged assault on a photographer in New Zealand.

Yesterday morning in NZ capital Auckland, the “Big Time Sensuality” singer reportedly tore the shirt off the back of a paparazzo who tried to take her picture at the airport.

The poor pap’s name is Glenn Jeffrey, and he told press that he was shocked by the 42-year-old singer’s erratic behavior.  “I took a couple of pictures… and as I turned and walked away, she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy (long t-shirt) and tore it down the back.  As she did this she fell to the ground. At no stage did I touch her or speak with her.”

And from the sound of it, Bjork may have to fork over some dough for her outburst.  “If anybody assaults anybody you have the right to a legal recourse, whoever they are.  I don’t see being assaulted as I’m working as a press photographer as an acceptable thing.”

The incident has been reported to the local police, who are currently reviewing footage from the security video cameras.  We’ll keep you updated.
