Evan Rachel Wood shares new allegations against Marilyn Manson

Actress Evan Rachel Wood has shared new details regarding her past relationship with musician Marilyn Manson, born Brian Warner, during an appearance on ‘The Hidden Third Podcast’. Wood described a stark contrast between Manson’s public persona and his private behavior, characterizing him as insecure and withdrawn in daily life, while alleging that he engaged in brutal and humiliating acts that violated her boundaries.

Wood recounted a specific encounter from 2014 at an afterparty, years after their engagement ended. She alleged that after she declined to accompany him to his hotel, Warner made a graphic sexual threat against her son. This specific allegation was previously noted in court documents in 2021.

Additionally, Wood discussed the psychological dynamics of their relationship, suggesting that Manson’s stage persona may have been a tool to build self-esteem. She also expressed her belief that he may have been a victim of abuse during his childhood, though she noted she could not confirm the details of his upbringing.
