Marilyn Manson Allegedly Had A 'Rape Room': 'Label And Band Knew,' Phoebe Bridgers Claims
KEY POINTS
- Phoebe Bridgers claimed Marilyn Manson showed her his "rape room" when she and her friends visited his home years ago
- Bridgers said she "stopped being a fan" of Manson after the incident
- She also claimed that Manson's band, label and management "knew" of his actions
Phoebe Bridgers has joined those who have made allegations against Marilyn Manson, claiming that the controversial rock star had a disturbing room in his home.
Bridgers, 26, said on Twitter that Manson, 52, allegedly showed her his "rape room" when she visited the singer's house as a teen.
"I went to Marilyn Manson’s house when I was a teenager with some friends. I was a big fan. He referred to a room in his house as the 'r*pe room', I thought it was just his horrible frat boy sense of humor. I stopped being a fan," she tweeted Thursday.
The "Garden Song" singer also showed her support to the women who accused Manson of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, adding, "I stand with everyone who came forward."
Bridgers went on to slam Manson's label, management and band in a follow-up tweet, claiming that they were allegedly aware of his actions.
"The label knew, management knew, the band knew," she wrote. "Distancing themselves now, pretending to be shocked and horrified is f—ing pathetic."
Bridgers' tweets come not long after Manson’s ex-fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, named him as her abuser. They dated for years and got engaged in 2010, when she was 19 and he was 38.
"He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years," Wood said in a statement. "I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives. I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent.”
Manson's ex-wife Dita Von Teese also addressed the allegations in a statement on Instagram, saying several people checked on her well-being amid the controversy. She assured everyone that she was doing well and clarified that her experience with Manson was different from that of his alleged victims.
"Please know the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple. Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005. I left 12 months later due to infidelity and drug abuse," Von Teese wrote.
"Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship," she continued. "I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal and the strength to fully realize yourself."
