It was in connection with a commercial shoot in the Stockholm area in the summer of 2017 that Ralf Gyllenhammar, 54, pressed a beer bottle between the breasts of Isabel, the 25-year-old film producer, and spoke in a sexual way. unpleasant. A nasty rape that he still carries with him.
“Being involved in a sex crime, no matter the size, causes trauma and stress. That’s it. Dare to report to the police, sit in court and answer questions so far, of course, it has been stressful. But I know it is. necessary”. , Isabell writes in an email to GP.
In its ruling, the district court determined that it was “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Ralf Gyllenhammar had actually pressed a beer bottle between her breasts. However, in relation to the verdict, Gyllenhammar told GP that he did not remember the incident.

When asked by GP if he had learned anything from his behavior, Ralf Gyllenhammar replied as follows:
– Yes, do not put beer bottles between women’s breasts. And if you’ve done something stupid, don’t do it again.
But a year later, Mustasch still opted to print a T-shirt that featured a beer bottle sandwiched between a pair of large female breasts, which Aftonbladet was the first to report on.
– Just a wrong decision. It was very good … I should have known better, Ralf Gyllenhammar told the newspaper earlier this week.

When GP contacts Ralf Gyllenhammar, he does not want to comment further on the matter, but refers to the band’s statement on Facebook. Isabell, however, is deeply critical of the fact that SVT is now allowing Mustasch to perform at the Melodifestivalen.
“I think a person convicted of a sex crime has nothing to do with a family show. Especially considering what he and his gang did after the verdict,” he said.
About 40 people protest because Mustasch is part of Mello
The fact that Mustasch is still participating in the Melodifestivalen has caused more of Isabell to react. According to SVT press manager Camilla Hagert, around 40 people have contacted her with opinions that Gyllenhammar and the band can participate in the show. However, it is a decision defended by Melodifestivalen’s competing producer, Karin Gunnarsson.

– Ralf Gyllenhammar has atoned for his crime and we are not behind how the person in question acted, but our assessment is that there are not sufficient reasons to prohibit the group from competing in the Melodifestivalen, points out GP.
Flinck was arrested, but the green light for Gyllenhammar
SVT believes that the verdict against Ralf Gyllenhammar is the big difference from last year, when Thorsten Flinck was kicked out of the Melodifestivalen competition in Gothenburg.
At the time, the nationally known actor was charged with illegal threats and minor damages following a traffic accident in Varberg. Therefore, there was an ongoing lawsuit against Flinck, in contrast to a sexual harassment conviction against Gyllenhammar.
“He may have served his legal sentence, but the fact is that Ralf Gyllenhammar manufactured and sold products intended to make fun of me to make money. I think SVT should take responsibility and not give him a space to build his brand,” emphasizes Isabell.
Has SVT really done the right thing by allowing Mustasch to be part of the Melodifestivalen?
– I don’t have a personal opinion about it. But even if you’ve been convicted of a crime, you may deserve a second chance, says SVT press manager Camilla Hagert.
What do you say about the shirt that the band had printed and sold after the verdict?
– He was idiotic and indiscriminate.
Ralf Gyllenhammar and Mustasch’s commentary on what happened
“Due to what has been written about me and the Mustasch gang in the last 24 hours, we want to make a clarification. I have been convicted of an incident that occurred in 2017. I have paid a daily fine and then also apologized to the person in question and now I take the opportunity to do it again. Sorry, sorry, I did not mean to offend or harass. Also, the entire Mustasch gang takes responsibility for this completely disgusting idiot t-shirt we printed. It was in our range for a short time, but has removed for a long time and we are bitter and deeply sorry that we even printed this damn t-shirt. In short, we have learned a lot from this and continue to learn and from now on the Mustasch band focuses on hard rock, joy, partying, in which we are absolutely better. Thanks and sorry. “
