Controversy[]

In 2002, Andersson participated as an interviewee in the Swedish TV4 show Ursäkta röran, vi bygger om (English: Pardon the mess, we're renovating). The show made headlines due to a segment called "the Swedish Nazi-reference championship", The singer and former Expedition Robinson-star was fooled into an interview during which the program leaders made over fifty Nazi-references and observed her reactions. These included jokes such as naming the show they claimed to work for "Treblinka", claiming that Leni Riefenstahl was a modern director of music videos, that Joseph Goebbels was a DJ whose music resembled Andersson's, and dozens of other references to the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Throughout the interview, Andersson wore a T-shirt with the text "Treblinka - Class of '45". Andersson didn't seem to react at all on tape. She later claimed that her reactions were edited out in order to make fun of her.[4]
