Evan Rachel Wood says ex Marilyn Manson forced her to cook dinner after her abortion, repeatedly struck her with Nazi whip, and used electrodes on her genitals



Actress Evan Rachel Wood says her ex-fiancé demanded she cook him dinner in the hours following her 2011 abortion, the New York Post reported on Monday.

She also detailed other disturbing abuse allegations against the musician, with whom she was in a relationship from 2007 to 2011.

What are the details?

Wood — now an advocate for sexual assault and trafficking survivors — in her recent documentary, "Phoenix Rising," said that she realized she was pregnant in 2011 while filming for "Mildred Pierce."

“From the beginning of our relationship, he always had an issue with whatever birth control I was using — and I went through, like, every type to see which one he liked, and he didn’t like any of them, so essentially he didn’t want me using birth control,” Wood said, noting that the musician — whose real name is Brian Warner — refused to wear condoms.

Wood said that she ultimately decided to terminate the pregnancy, and in the hours following the invasive procedure was told to cook dinner.

“He flew out for the abortion,” Wood recalled of the moments she decided to end her child's life. “The second it was over it was like, ‘Make me dinner.’ And I remember being like, ‘I’m supposed to be resting — my body has gone through this trauma ... there’s aftermath here.’ And he didn’t care.”

Wood said that the emotionally scarring incident — and more in the same vein — drove her to try to commit suicide.

“I went into the bathroom and I took [a] glass and I shattered it on the floor and just started digging at my wrists as hard as I could,” Wood said of the unsuccessful suicide bid. “When I woke up, I felt different. I feel like whoever I was went to sleep and didn’t wake up that night, and this new version woke up and had to start rebuilding her life. I called my mom and I said, ‘I just tried to kill myself, and I need to go to a hospital, like, immediately.'"

Wood in the documentary said that the rocker used to rape her in her sleep.

“I’d wake up, I just remember doing the mental math quickly and thinking, ‘Just stay, just stay asleep, don’t move, just don’t move.’ So I would just lie limp and still until it was over, and then I swear to God, he would just fling my leg and walk out of the room,” she said, and went on to accuse him of sexual torture including being repeatedly struck with a "Nazi whip" as she knelt on a prayer kneeler inside his home and using electrodes on her genitals.

“It hurt so bad that I broke the kneeler in half,” Wood recalled. “I remember in that moment thinking, ‘Just tell him whatever he wants to hear, just tell him whatever he wants to hear’ ... and I said, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.’ I was begging for forgiveness, and he was cradling me and saying, ‘You understand now.’ And then he cut open his hand ... and made me drink his blood. And then he cut me ... and drank mine.”

At least 15 women have come forward and accused the musician of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and Warner has said that he "vehemently denies any and all claims of sexual assault or abuse of anyone"

Warner on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Wood in L.A. Superior Court and said that she defamed him with rape allegations.

“As we detailed in our lawsuit, nothing that Evan Rachel Wood ... [or her] hand-picked co-conspirators have said on this matter can be trusted,” Warner's attorney, Howard King, told the outlet in a statement. “This is just more of the same.”

House of horrors: Police arrest woman after finding injured and 'heavily soiled' toddlers hog-tied, trapped inside home



Authorities arrested a San Antonio, Texas, woman after discovering two dirty, injured toddlers trapped alone in a room in her house.

What are the details?

According to a report from KSAT-TV, police arrested 37-year-old Priscilla Ann Salias on Tuesday and charged her with two counts of endangering a child after receiving a tip that there were two filthy, injured children being held in a room in her home.

On Sunday, officials forced their way into a room at her home and reportedly discovered the children — a 2-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl — inside the room.

The female toddler, according to an arrest affidavit, had her wrists and ankles bound and tied together. The unnamed child had "visible injuries," including a blackened eye and a bloodied lip.

The male toddler was trapped inside a playpen that was covered with a changing table and baby carrier.

Both children were "heavily soiled" and crying when first responders burst into the room.

Salias reportedly had temporary custody of the children — who belonged to her stepdaughter — as the children's biological parents were under investigation by child protective services.

Her bail was set at $150,000.

She has not posted bail at the time of this reporting and has denied all charges.

"What she did to these children is unforgivable," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said on Salias' arrest.

The children are now in the custody of child services.

According to the Daily Mail, Salias said the the charges are "bulls**t" and that reporters need to "get their facts straight."

She did not elaborate, however, how the children ended up in such disturbing conditions.

Salias' father, Bill, said that he can't imagine his daughter as being responsible for abusing the children.

"The kids she's taken into her home out of the kindness of her heart is because that's the kind of person she is," he said. "Now this sensationalized version that's being portrayed on her is totally inaccurate."

The outlet reported that the children's biological mother, identified only by her first name Isabella, said that she just wants her children to "come home already."

Actress Evan Rachel Wood accuses musician-actor Marilyn Manson of underage grooming, 'horrific' abuse — and then more women come forward



Actress Evan Rachel Wood says that her ex-fiancé, musician and actor Marilyn Manson, "horrifically abused" and "brainwashed" her, even grooming her as a teenager.

Wood and Manson began dating in 2007 when she was 19 years old and he was 38.

What are the details?

Wood, 33, says that Manson — real name Brian Warner — carried out heinous acts of abuse on her during their relationship.

In a Monday morning Instagram post, Wood wrote, "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."

Her post continued, "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."

Indeed, in 2009, Manson told Spin magazine that he often "fantasized about smashing [Wood's] skull in with a sledgehammer" after they broke up at one point during the tumultuous affair.

Wood first spoke of experiencing partner abuse during a 2016 Rolling Stone interview. She did not announce the name of her alleged abuser at the time, saying only that she endured disturbing abuse.

In 2018, Wood testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee in support of the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights, saying that she personally experienced "toxic mental, physical, and sexual abuse" and more. She did not announce the name of her alleged abuse at that time, either.

Wood's latest allegations opened up a floodgate of other women who reported having been abused by the performer.

Some of the women report experiencing rape, torture, physical abuse, death threats, and more.

What other women are saying

According to a Monday Vanity Fair report, a bevy of other women have come forward with alleged experiences of their own.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Ashley Walters, a woman who was seen in public with Manson in 2011, writes, "I continue to suffer from PTSD and struggle with depression. I stayed in touch with quite a few people who went through their own traumas under his control. As we all struggled, as survivors do, to get on with our lives, I'd keep hearing stories disturbingly similar to our own experiences. It became clear the abuse he's caused; he continues to inflict on so many and I cannot stand by and let this happen to others. Brian Warner needs to be held accountable."

Another woman, Sarah McNeilly, said that she, too, suffered from PTSD after her entanglement with Manson.

"I have been afraid to bring any spotlight upon myself as to avoid winding up in his crosshairs again," she admitted. "As a result of the way he treated me, I suffer from mental health issues and PTSD that have affected my personal and professional relationships, self-worth, and personal goals. I believe he gets off on ruining people's lives. I stand in support of all that have and all will come forward. I want to see Brian held accountable for his evil."

McNeilly said that she was initially lured in as Manson posed as "the perfect boyfriend," "claiming he was just misunderstood."

"I was locked in rooms when I was 'bad,' sometimes forced to listen to him entertaining other women," she wrote. "Kept away from certain friends or if I didn't he would threaten to come after them. I was told stories of others who tried to tell their story and their pets ended up dead. I wasn't allowed to go near other artists working on the same set, as he told me they had aids and were disgusting and if I did so he would be very upset and 'I wouldn't want that.'"

She later wrote, "I was thrown up against a wall and he threatened to bash my face in with the baseball bat he was holding, for trying to get him to pick out a pair of pants prior to a music video."

A woman named Gabriella added, "It has taken me five years to speak out and say that I was in an abusive relationship. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and still suffer from nightmares. I blocked out a lot of the memories, but the feelings remain and manifest in different ways. The reason I'm finally sharing this traumatic experience is for my healing and because I'm done being silent. I don't believe it's fair for someone to not be held accountable for their horrific actions. I'm not a victim. I'm a survivor."

She also insisted that the performer forced her to take drugs, made fun of her black heritage, and cut her while the two had sex.

A woman by the name of Ashley Lindsay Morgan wrote, "I have night terrors, PTSD, anxiety, and mostly crippling OCD. I try to wash constantly to get him out or off of me. ... I am coming forward to he will finally stop,"

What else?

In 2011, a police report was issued against Manson for "alleged sex crimes," according to Vanity Fair. He denied all accusations of wrongdoing through his attorney, the outlet reported, and later issued a statement in 2020 denying any such allegations by Wood.

"Unfortunately we live in a time where people believe what they read on the internet, and feel free to say what they want with no actual evidence," a spokesperson for the performer said at the time. "The effects can be catastrophic and promoting non-fact-based information is wholly irresponsible."

In November, Loudwire asked Manson to respond to reports of abuse.

In a lengthy statement, a spokesperson for the entertainer said:
Personal testimony is just that, and we think it's inappropriate to comment on that.

You then go on to talk about Manson being accused of "terrible things" by unnamed "critics" but offer no guidance on who these critics are and what these things are, so it's not possible to comment.

You then mention Mickey Rourke. It is my understanding that Evan Rachel Wood dated multiple people around the time she was dating Manson. Basic internet research will give you a host of other names that have not come up in any of our discussions.

Your next couple of points deal with comments Manson made in Spin magazine in 2009. Your confusion around the timeline of this is extremely worrying. The comments in Spin where Manson had a fantasy of using a sledgehammer on Evan and he cut himself 158 times was obviously a theatrical rock star interview promoting a new record, and not a factual account. The fact that Evan and Manson got engaged six months after this interview would indicate that no one took this story literally.

You go on to talk about Manson commenting on sexual harassment, Me Too and specifically the experiences of his ex partner Rose McGowan. These are all issues that Manson has publicly addressed and are available online. Please see Channel 4 interview from 15th December 2017.

Manson has never shied away from public comment – equally he does not have to make the same comment twice.

There will be no further comment on specific songs. Your journalist had the opportunity to ask Manson about his music – one of only two interviews granted in the UK – and he chose not to. Trying to weave one section of one song from an artist with a 30 plus year career to fit a narrative is both disingenuous and troublesome.
You mention Manson's ex fiancée Rose McGowan in your questions. Rose is one of the bravest and most outspoken figureheads of the Me Too movement. Manson remains friends with McGowan and she talks very fondly of their three a half years together. There are multiple sources worldwide. I link to a Washington Post article on McGowan's memoir 'Brave' (2018).

You fail to mention Manson's ex-wife Dita Von Teese, who remains good friends with Manson. Quoting from a Female First article published in 2018, 'Dita admits she has been “lucky" to avoid any abusive episodes in the entertainment industry in her career'.

There are also numerous articles over multiple years where Evan Rachel Wood speaks very positively about her relationship with Manson. In NetAPorters.com's The Edit (2015): “I wouldn't trade any of [our relationship]," Wood told the mag. “I appreciate everything he taught me. I just don't think we were right for each other."

Finally you talk about death threats. Manson knows all about those – he has had many. He has spent his career being blamed for everything from Columbine to teenage suicide. Unfortunately, we live in a time where people believe what they read on the Internet, and feel free to say what they want with no actual evidence. The effects can be catastrophic and promoting non fact based information is wholly irresponsible. All we can try and do, as the media and individuals, is to use facts and truth and not hide behind gossip and conjecture to further our own agendas.

A spokesperson for Manson did not respond to TheBlaze's request for comment in time for publication.
