“We had talked about a simulated sex scene. But when the cameras were rolling he started to really penetrate me“: Evan Rachel Wood claims, in these terms, to have been raped by her ex-companion Marilyn Manson on the set of the clip Heart Shaped Glasses in 2007. The 34-year-old actress spoke in Phoenix Risingan HBO documentary aimed at increasing the statute of limitations in rape and sexual assault cases.
“I was coerced into a commercial sex act under a false pretense. […] I was raped on camera“. Evan Rachel Wood argues that she has “never given [son] OK“for such a thing to be achieved before everyone’s eyes:”I can tell you that the team was very embarrassed and no one knew what to do“, added the young woman.
Marilyn Manson has, through her lawyer Howard King at AFP, denied the facts of which her ex-companion accuses her: “Of all of Evan Rachel Wood’s false claims about Brian Warner [le vrai nom de Marilyn Manson, ndlr], his whimsical rereading of the filming of the clip of Heart Shaped Glasses fifteen years ago is the most shameless and the easiest to refute because there were many witnesses“. The lawyer adds that “the simulated sex scene required several hours of filming with multiple shots from different angles, and several long breaks between each camera installation“: “Brian didn’t have sex with Evan on this set and she knows that’s the truth“.
Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson dated for three years. A violent relationship as she revealed in 2018 to the American Congress. During her hearing, the American had declared that she had suffered sexual violence and rape from an ex-boyfriend ten years earlier. The name of Marilyn Manson was then not pronounced, before Evan Rachel Wood later confirmed her identity on her Instagram account. Four other women then testified, such as actress Esmé Bianco. The latter even filed a complaint for rape, sadistic sexual abuse and repeated violence. Facts that Marilyn Manson totally denies.
