– It’s a shame they have to queue. This is a convicted man who also misbehaved afterwards, she says.

Three years ago he was convicted Ralf Gyllenhammar, 54, for sexual harassment for having pressed a beer bottle between Isabel’s breasts during a commercial shoot.
A year later, Mustasch also decided to try to make money from the verdict by printing T-shirts with the band’s logo and a beer bottle printed on a woman’s cleavage.
“Humiliation”
The print on the T-shirts that Mustasch began selling nearly a year after Ralf Gyllenhammar was convicted of sexual harassment.
In an email to SVT, which Aftonbladet has read, Isabell writes:
The pressure was sexist, abusive and sexually allusive, and at my expense. I can’t get into more than that. “
In the email, Isabell asks SVT to stop Ralf Gyllenhammar from singing in front of millions of viewers.
“You don’t have to be on stage in the middle of primetime among the young women on the television team who may not dare to speak out against you,” she writes and continues:
“I want to get rid of it.”
She also writes that she wants to avoid having to see the man who exposed her to “harassment and humiliation.”
Isabell to SVT: show some spine
“Behind every crime there are always one or more victims. Maybe you have to rethink yourself then and assume your responsibility as a Public Service and show a little backbone, I think ”.
SVT responded through a communicator in SVT’s information department:
“I fully understand that you are upset. This is an issue that touches and engages. What Melodifestivalen and its editorial team have achieved is that once you have served your sentence, you can compete in Melodifestivalen.”
Isabell is anything but happy with the answer:
-He may have served his legal sentence, but the fact that he manufactured and sold products intended to make fun of me and the harassment he subjected me to to earn money speaks his language clearly, she says.

Ralf Gyllenhammar competes with Mustache at Melodifestivalen 2021
Ralf Gyllenhammar describes both the sexual harassment and the T-shirts as “a wrong decision.”
– I should have known better, he says.
When he hears that Isabell wants to warn young women in the production of Melodifestivalen for him, he says:
– Sounds very strange, I think. We are not dangerous at all.
Ralf Gyllenhammar and his bandmates also say the shirt was not intended to be a joke.
– It was stupid, it was not a joke at all, of course not, says the bassist of Mustasch. Johansson “Stam” floor mats, 52.
Melodifestivalen Competition Producer Karin Gunnarsson just learned of Isabell’s email to SVT when Aftonbladet contacted her. This is due to Aftonbladet’s questions during the interview with the band.
– This email has disappeared somewhere in the handling. I was not aware of this until today (read: Tuesday).
SVT: “We have zero tolerance”
What do you want to tell Isabell?
– I can’t answer for how you feel, but being exposed to crime, regardless of character must be very difficult. Ralf has apologized and the verdict has fallen, so … they are in the Melodifestiva in the whole group, it is not just Ralf as a person.

We have a good and safe work environment ”. Karin Gunarsson, producer of the competition at Melodifestivalen and responsible for which artists can perform in the competition.
And it was the whole group who also made these shirts.
– Yes. I can only say that it is a very inappropriate shirt to print.
How do you ensure that no one in production is subjected to any form of sexual harassment?
– There we have zero tolerance for sexual harassment and abusive behavior in this workplace and this applies to everyone who participates and works with Melodifestivalen. We assume that everyone can take care of themselves and if something comes to our attention, we will take it then. But we have a good and safe working environment.
Can you guarantee that no employee is at risk of being sexually harassed at Melodifestivalen?
– Like I said, we have zero tolerance for abusive behavior.
Isabell again:
– This is very deafening from SVT I think, like they completely missed #metoo.
