Marilyn Manson's Ex-Fiance Joins Allegations Of Sexual Abuse And Child Grooming

Marilyn Manson has found himself in the middle of more child grooming and abuse allegations, this time from his ex-fiance.

Manson, born Brian Warner, is a Goth rock musician who was in a long-term relationship with actress Evan Rachel Wood. She has continuously spoken out about an abusive ex in the past but did not release his name until Monday.

The now-33-year-old “Westworld” actress released a statement via Instagram on Monday morning identifying Manson as her abuser. During the time of their engagement, Wood was 19 and Manson was 38.

“The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. 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,” she said.

Wood has been active in helping pass various bills like the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights, which she testified about before a House Judiciary Subcommittee, as well as the Pheonix Act, which altered the statute of limitations for domestic violence crimes, according to Deadline. She never named the perpetrator when explaining her sexual abuse experiences during the passage of these bills.

Along with Wood’s statement, three other women have come forward to explain similar experiences with Manson, Vanity Fair reported. The accusers include ex-girlfriends Sarah McNeilly, Ashley Lindsey Morgan, and a woman identified only as Gabriella.

Manson’s representatives haven’t immediately commented on the allegations, but they have denied the claims in the past.
