Evan Rachel Wood has made explosive new accusations against ex-boyfriend Marilyn Manson in a Sundance Film Festival documentary titled Phoenix Rising. As well as detailing disturbing acts that he committed against her, she also alleged that the rockstar had an obsession with Hitler and used to “make fun” of her for being Jewish.
Wood, who first started dating Manson when she was just 18, and he was 38, divulged that she first thought his admiration for the tyrant was an ironic “commentary on Nazism”. However, she would then discover that this was not the case.
She Claimed That Manson 'Always Said That Hitler Was The First Rock Star'
The actress told that Manson “Always said that Hitler was the first rock star”, praising the dictator for being “Stylish, well-spoken and knew how to manipulate the masses to do what he wanted”.
She insisted “I thought his whole spiel was taking the images of Hitler and spinning it on its head. I thought it was a commentary on Nazism.” But then “Throughout the course of our relationship... [he] started to get multiple swastika tattoos”.
“At one point, on the side of the bed where I slept, he wrote ‘Kill all the Jews’ on our bedroom wall.”
“Things like that are not ironic anymore. At what point are you doing a commentary and at what point are you just a Nazi?”
Wood Also Accused Manson Of Sexually Abusing Her On The Set Of His Music Video
Manson’s supposed Nazi-ism was not the only red flag, however. Wood also professed that the singer had “essentially” raped her while on the set of the music video for track "Heart-Shaped Glasses”. Recounting the harrowing event, Evan recalled “We had discussed a simulated sex scene…"
"But once the cameras were rolling, he started penetrating me for real. I had never agreed to that. I’m a professional actress, I have been doing this my whole life. I’d never been on a set that unprofessional in my life up until this day. It was complete chaos, and I did not feel safe."
"It was a really traumatizing experience filming the video. I didn't know how to advocate for myself or know how to say no because I had been conditioned and trained to never talk back."
"I felt disgusting and like I had done something shameful, and I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do. I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses. That's when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera."
