"Westworld" actress Evan Rachel Wood accuses Marilyn Manson: the controversial singer of "Antichrist Superstar" is the partner she referred to when over the years she declared herself a victim of domestic violence.
Wood and Manson (real name Brian Warner) had a relationship that went public in 2007 when she was 19 and he, 38, was divorcing burlesque actress Dita von Teese.
They had announced the marriage in 2010 to separate shortly thereafter.
"The name is Brian Warner. He started luring me when I was still a teenager and for years he horribly abused me," the actress said in an Instagram post and in a statement to Vanity Fair: "Manson washed my brain. , reducing myself into submission. Now I'm done living in fear of reprisals, slander or blackmail. I'm here to expose the danger it represents and warn the many industries that have facilitated it before it can ruin other lives. " No comment came from the Manson camp whose spokesmen had previously denied such allegations. In a show of solidarity with Wood at least four other women posted their experiences telling of having suffered from Manson acts of violence including sexual, psychological abuse and other forms of coercion.
