Evan Rachel Wood reveals shocking abuse allegations against Marilyn Manson in new documentary

Evan Rachel Wood testified about her sexual assault in Congress in 2018. Last year, she named her alleged abuser. Now, she has even more to share – and in her own words.

In a new documentary "Phoenix Rising – Part I: Don't Fall," which premiered Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival (and will arrive on HBO later this year), the actress and activist describes her toxic and turbulent relationship with ex-fiancé Brian Warner (aka Marilyn Manson) and how she's taking back the narrative through activism.

Wood withheld Manson's name for years after first discussing abuse she faced, but named Manson in an Instagram post in February 2021, who denied the claims. Multiple women have since accused Manson of physical and sexual abuse and he has been hit with several lawsuits by accusers.

"It’s always really hard for me to look at photos of myself from before" meeting Manson, Wood, 34, says at the start of the Amy Berg-directed documentary, glancing at old pictures on her computer and thinking about her youthful innocence. The pair were together on and off for 4.5 years starting in mid-2006 when she was 18. He was 37.

I have complete sympathy for her, (And certainly believe her) yet the nagging voice keeps saying... well what did you expect exactly?
