For the first time, Evan Rachel Wood gives a name to her alleged assailant.
On Monday morning, Emmy nominee “Westworld” dropped a bomb revelation about horrific abuse he claims to have suffered while having a relationship with music Marilyn Manson.
“My abuser’s name is Brian Warner,” he wrote on Instagram and in a statement to Vanity Fair.
“Also known around the world as Marilyn Manson. She started preparing me when I was a teenager and abused me horribly for years, ”continued the 33-year-old actress. “They brainwashed me and manipulated me to submission. I just live in fear of reprisals, slander or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call on the many industries that have allowed him, before he ruins more lives. I am by the side of the many victims who will no longer be silent ”.
Wood began a romantic relationship with the gothic singer when he was a teenager, although the couple fell silent until Wood reached the age of 19. Manson, now 52, was 38 when the couple left. In 2010, they briefly committed before quitting.
But it was not until years later that rumors arose that Manson had prepared Wood in an abusive and servile relationship.
Last fall, Manson abruptly ended an interview with British music site Metal Hammer when the reporter mentioned Wood’s name. Subsequently, the shock-rocker camp issued a lengthy statement denying all charges of abuse.
“Manson has never shied away from public comment, in the same way that he should not make‘ the same comment twice ’,” his spokesman said at the time.
Manson and Wood’s representatives did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on his latest statements.
Along with the recent post, she has also traveled on social media to share shocking stories on behalf of several other women who allege that they have also been prepared and abused by the “Dope Show” singer and now want her to be “responsible.” .
Wood’s message comes five years after he first spoke about an abusive relationship with Rolling Stone in 2016. In 2019, Wood helped forge the California Phoenix Act, a bill that extended the statute of limitations for cases. of domestic violence from three to five years – and testified about his “rape and torture” during the California Senate hearing.
“I had the courage to leave several times, but he would call my house non-stop and threaten to commit suicide,” Wood said in his testimony. “On one occasion, I came back to try to turn off the situation, he cornered me in our bedroom and asked me to kneel. Then he tied me by the hands and feet. Once I was detained, he hit me and shocked sensitive parts of my body with a torture device called a violet wand. For him it was a way to prove my loyalty. The pain was exciting. I felt like I was leaving my body and part of me died that day. ”
