"I'm chaos, I've always been chaos," said Marilyn Manson six years ago in an interview with Rolling Stone, "I'm here just to fuck shit up."
At that time the American rock musician was just releasing his new album "The Pale Emperor".
His latest, published on September 11, 2020, is entitled »We Are Chaos«.
Neither of the two attracted much attention outside of the metal and indie scene.
There was criticism and scolding, good positions in the charts,
business as usual
for the scene veteran, who seems like a provocation from bygone times.
For some women who are now speaking, however, the chaos Manson says he embodies seems all too real.
The actress Evan Rachel Wood ("Westworld") now made public that the previously anonymous person who had abused and psychologically terrorized her was her ex-boyfriend Manson.
Wood got together with the musician, whose real name is Brian Warner, in 2006 when she was still a teenager, Manson 37. She was the inspiration for his song "Heart-Shaped Glasses".
The couple separated several times, got engaged in 2010, but separated for good just a few months later.
