Westworld<\/strong><\/em> star Evan Rachel Wood\u00a0has publicly named Marilyn Manson as her abuser, claiming that he had “horrifically abused” her for years. Wood, who stars as Dolores Abernathy in the dystopian sci-fi show Westworld<\/em><\/a>, created a post\u00a0on\u00a0Instagram early on February 1st, in which she named Brian Warner as her abuser, the real name of singer-songwriter Marilyn Manson. The pair were in a relationship from 2007 until 2010, at which point they broke off their engagement. When they first got together in 2007, Wood was 19 and Mason was 38.<\/p>\n

Wood, now 33, claims that Manson began grooming her when she was a teenager, which then led to an abusive relationship. “I was brainwashed and\u00a0manipulated\u00a0into submission,” writes Wood in her Instagram post. She has previously spoken out about being the victim of abuse, having told Rolling Stone<\/em> in 2016<\/a> that she had been raped many years ago, once by a “significant other” and again by a “bar owner.”\u00a0It had been speculated that Manson was one of her abusers, although he refused to comment at the time.<\/p>\n

Since Wood’s Instagram post, at least three other women have posted similar allegations against Manson. His\u00a0representatives have so far not been available to comment, but his team has denied allegations of this nature in the past. Wood has been a vocal\u00a0activist<\/a> for sexual abuse survivors for years. In 2018, she testified before a House Judiciary Committee\u00a0as part of an effort to get\u00a0the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights passed in all 50 states. She then testified in front of California legislators on behalf of the Phoenix Act legislation that altered the statute of limitations for domestic violence crimes.<\/p>\n
