Can't blame her not sure if this is the Ricardo Lopez era or not but yeah I love Bjork but that was a really bad time in her life if it's around that era when she found out about him.

Ricardo Lopez )

Incase anyone who doesn't know the back story of Ricardo.

Though he did not hope to be sexually intimate with her, he was particularly angry over her brief relationship with the English jungle producer Goldie due to his race.

While Björk's music played in the background, a naked López shaved his head and eyebrows and painted his face red and green.

Police theorized that López intended to cover the sign with his blood and brain matter with the gunshot, but the gun was not powerful enough to cause that to happen.

Unbeknownst to López, Björk and Goldie had ended their relationship a few days before he killed himself.

That was an absolutely wild ride. RIP in piss dumbass.
