In 2017, Grøndahl went on the record stating that "It's never the woman's fault if a man decides to attack her. But, that said...well, when I look at the picture of the victim, the way she let herself be photographed, the look she gives the camera...I can't help but think that this is a girl who's looking for trouble." regarding the beheading of journalist Kim Wall. He later apologized for his words, saying that it was "completely disrespectful to the victim and the survivors" and emphasizing that he "stands on the side of women in the debate about, for example, the Me Too movement", about which he also wrote a column, adding that it is one of the most important development of our times.
