[아시아경제 김영은 기자] Hollywood actor Evan Rachel Wood (34) and other women have been exposed to mental abuse and sexual violence from rock singer Marilyn Manson (52).
According to CNN and the BBC on the 1st (local time), Wood said through his social network service (SNS), “The name of the person who abused me is Brian Warner. He is also known as Marilyn Manson.” Manson and Wood are ex-lovers, and Wood, born in 1987, has been dating Manson, who was 36 at the age of 18, for about three years from 2007.
“He started grooming me when I was a teenager, and he abused me horribly for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated to obey him,” Wood said. “I have lived in fear of revenge, slander and intimidation.” Revealed.
“I lived in fear of retaliation, slander and intimidation. But now I try to expose this dangerous man so that he can no longer ruin the lives of others. I will be with many victims who will no longer be silent.” Added.
Wood previously said he was a victim of sexual assault, domestic violence, and abuse. It wasn’t clear who the other person was. After that, Wood actively took the lead in protecting victims of sexual and domestic violence.
After Wood’s revelation, several other women, including Manson’s personal assistant Ashley Walters and artist Gabriela known as SourGirrrl, issued similar statements via social media accusing Manson of victims of abuse and sexual assault. They alleged that Manson was swearing, forced to take drugs, and sexually abused.

As the controversy continued, Manson denied all charges on his social media network, saying, “The latest claim is a terrible distortion.” They also argued that everything was done under an agreement. In addition, Manson’s agents said, “There have been countless years over the years that Evan Rachel Wood has said positively about his relationship with Manson.” “People believe what they have read on the Internet and are free to say what they want without real evidence. “It can be fatal, and it is entirely irresponsible to promote information that is not true.”
