Actress
and
activist
Evan
Rachel
Wood,
has
finally
named
the
ex
who
she
had
previously
alleged
to
have
abused
her
for
years.
The
Westworld
star
has
talked
about
the
abusive
relationship
on
a
number
of
occasions
including
the
2018
testimony
before
a
House
Judiciary
Subcommittee,
in
an
effort
to
get
the
Sexual
Assault
Survivors'
Bill
of
Rights
passed
in
all
50
US
states.
Evan
Rachel,
who
is
now
33,
had
revealed
that
she
had
met
shock-rocker
Marilyn
Manson
when
she
was
18
and
he
was
36.
Taking
to
her
Instagram
account
she
shared
a
post
and
wrote,
"The
name
of
my
abuser
is
Brian
Warner,
also
known
to
the
world
as
Marilyn
Manson.
He
started
grooming
me
when
I
was
a
teenager
and
horrifically
abused
me
for
years."
"I
was
brainwashed
and
manipulated
into
submission.
I
am
done
living
in
fear
of
retaliation,
slander,
or
blackmail.
I
am
here
to
expose
this
dangerous
man
and
call
out
the
many
industries
that
have
enabled
him,
before
he
ruins
any
more
lives.
I
stand
with
the
many
victims
who
will
no
longer
be
silent," Evan
concluded.
Soon
after,
four
other
women
posted
their
own
accounts
of
harrowing
experiences
and
alleged
that
Manson
had
subjected
them
to
sexual
assault,
psychological
abuse,
and/or
various
forms
of
coercion,
violence,
and
intimidation.
Ashely
Lindsay
Morgan,
Sarah
Mcneilly,
Gabriella
and
Ashley
Walters
took
to
their
Instagram
accounts
and
shared
their
story.
Meanwhile,
Manson's
former
fiancee
also
spoke
in
support
of
Evan
and
the
other
four
women
who
opened
up.
Rose
McGowan
posted
a
statement
on
Twitter
that
read,
"I
stand
with
Evan
Rachel
Wood
and
other
brave
women
who
have
come
forward.
It
takes
years
to
recover
from
abuse
and
I
send
them
strength
on
their
journey
to
recovery.
Let
the
truth
be
revealed.
Let
the
healing
begin."
On
the
other
hand,
after
the
allegations
surfaced,
Manson
was
dropped
by
his
record
label
Loma
Vista,
and
was
also
cut
from
a
TV
series.
However,
Manson
has
denied
all
allegations
in
a
statement
on
his
Instagram
account.
He
wrote,
"Obviously,
my
art
and
my
life
have
long
been
magnets
for
controversy,
but
these
recent
claims
about
me
are
horrible
distortions
of
reality.
My
intimate
relationships
have
always
been
entirely
consensual
with
like-minded
partners.
Regardless
of
how
-
and
why
-
others
are
now
choosing
to
misrepresent
the
past,
that
is
the
truth."
According
to
a
report
in
Vanity
Fair,
Manson
was
set
to
appear
in
the
2021
season
of
AMC's
horror
anthology
Creepshow,
but
the
segment
of
the
episode
starring
Manson
will
not
be
aired.
