Evan Rachel Wood accuses Marilyn Manson of abuse

Quote:

US actress Evan Rachel Wood has claimed singer Marilyn Manson "horrifically abused" her during their three-year relationship in the late noughties. Manson and Wood began dating in 2007 and got engaged in 2010, but broke up later that year. Manson has denied the allegations, saying they were "horrible distortions of reality". Wood has previously said that she is a survivor of rape and domestic abuse, without naming the person accused.

I guess that means that she was about 18 or 19 when they began dating and he was 38. Bit of an age gap there, and there is additional evidence of abuse from things his bandmates have said, the fact that other victims have come forward, and apparently some of his own words...

Quote:

Manson's team previously defended a quote from a 2009 interview he did with Spin, in which he said of Wood: "I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer." His representatives said his words were "obviously a theatrical rock star interview promoting a new record, and not a factual account".
