💔 HOLLYWOOD BOMBSHELL: “She Disgusted Me…” ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus Finally Reveals Marriage Nightmares with Agnetha Fältskog
A new, unauthorized biography on ABBA has dropped a staggering Hollywood bombshell: an excerpt reportedly featuring candid and explosive quotes from Björn Ulvaeus detailing the brutal dissolution of his marriage to bandmate Agnetha Fältskog. The revelations offer a raw, unvarnished look at the personal nightmares that unfolded behind the sunny facade of the world’s most successful pop group.
While the band members have historically been discreet about their splits, the book quotes Björn speaking with unusual candor about the final, painful years of their marriage, which crumbled even as ABBA’s global fame reached its zenith.
The Contrast of Music and Misery
The core of the bombshell lies in the dramatic contrast between the joyful music they created and the misery of their private lives. According to the book, Björn confessed to friends and colleagues that the tension between him and Agnetha became unbearable, particularly after they decided to divorce in 1979.
The excerpt reportedly includes a shocking quote from Björn expressing the total collapse of their emotional connection: “There were times when I honestly felt she disgusted me. Not as a person, but as a presence in my life, knowing we had to go on stage together and pretend. It was soul-destroying.”
This raw statement—if authentic—shatters the sanitized narrative often presented about their amicable professional separation. It reveals the immense emotional toll of having to perform romantic love songs, night after night, with a former partner with whom all intimacy had died.
The Pain Behind the Piano
The book details how the professional demands intensified their personal anguish. Björn and Benny continued writing songs about heartbreak—most notably “The Winner Takes It All”—which Agnetha, the recently divorced partner, was forced to sing. This arrangement turned ABBA’s creative process into a form of public emotional torture.
A source cited in the book claims that the studio sessions for these tracks were often icy, with the band members communicating only through their producer. The raw emotion Agnetha poured into songs like “The Winner Takes It All” was not mere acting; it was the documented, personal pain of a woman singing her own divorce decree, written by her former husband.
The revelations underscore that ABBA’s legacy is not just about catchy tunes, but about the profound, sometimes destructive, commitment of four people who continued to create masterpieces even while their personal lives were falling apart in full public view.
