Evan Rachel Wood says she was ‘essentially raped on camera’ by Marilyn Manson

Evan Rachel Wood is opening up about more traumatic abuse she says she suffered at the hands of Brian Warner, a.k.a. Marilyn Manson.

Wood was entangled with Warner from 2006 to 2010, starting when she was just 18 years old and he was 36. Though the actor testified to Congress in 2018 about her experiences with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse by a romantic partner, Woods did not publicly name Warner as her abuser until February 2021. (Manson has denied the allegations.)

“The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” she wrote in a statement. After she spoke out, four other women accused the singer of physical abuse and sexual assault. “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.” 

Now, in a new documentary, Evan Rachel Wood detailed Warner’s alleged “first crime” against her during the filming of his 2007 music video “Heart-Shaped Glasses.” In part one of Phoenix Rising, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, the Westworld actor said that she was “essentially raped on camera” by Warner when she was 19 years old. 

“It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be,” Wood said in the documentary, per People. “We’re doing things that were not what was pitched to me…. 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’ve been doing this my whole life; I’ve never been on a set that unprofessional in my life up until this day.”

She continued, “It was complete chaos. I did not feel safe. No one was looking after me. 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, to just soldier through.”

According to People, Wood said she could tell that the crew “was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do.” She added, “I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses. That’s when the first crime was committed against me. I was essentially raped on camera.”

Phoenix Rising will air on HBO in March 2022.
