Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood accuses Marilyn Manson of ‘horrifically’ abusing her
- Actress says the goth rocker is a ‘dangerous man’ who started grooming her when she was a teenager
- Manson’s label, Loma Vista Recordings, said it dropped him after the ‘disturbing allegations’
Rocker Marilyn Manson was dropped by his record label after actress Evan Rachel Wood accused her ex-fiancé of sexual and other physical abuse, alleging she was “manipulated into submission” during their relationship.
Manson called the allegations “horrible distortions of reality”.
Wood, who stars on HBO’s Westworld, had spoken frequently in recent years about being abused in a relationship but did not name the person until she posted Monday on Instagram.
“The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” Wood said. “He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years.”
Manson’s label, Loma Vista Recordings, said that after the “disturbing allegations”, it will “cease to further promote his current album” and has “also decided not to work with Marilyn Manson on any future projects”.
