This Monday, February 1, actress Evan Rachel Wood and other women publicly named their attacker, Marilyn Manson. Rose McGowan, star of the series "Charmed" and ex-girlfriend of the singer, lent her support to the victims.
Rachel Evan Wood and three other alleged victims testify to the horror they experienced in the past with their ex-partner, Marilyn Manson. All of them evoke domestic and sexual violence as well as enormous trauma. Today, they claim that Marilyn Manson "answer for his actions." The reactions were not long in coming. While Loma Vista Recordings, the singer's label, interrupts all collaboration with him, Marilyn Manson continues to deny these accusations via an unconvincing speech. "My art and my life have always attracted controversy, he believes, but these statements about me are horrendous distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual, with partners in agreement. No matter how or why others today choose to distort the past, it is the truth. "

But above all, I am proud. I’m proud of Evan Rachel Wood and the other women who broke the silence around Marilyn Manson, my ex. When we were together, he wasn't like that with me. But that doesn't call into question his actions with other people before or after knowing him. It takes time to move forward. So, once again, I'm proud of these women and all those who speak out against abusers. They destroy lives. They steal our hopes, our dreams, our sexual freedoms, our love. "
