I was essentially raped on camera: Evan Rachel Wood accuses Marilyn Manson

Evan Rachel Wood said she didn't know how to advocate for herself or say no "because I had been conditioned and trained to never talk back, to just soldier through."

Washington: American actor and musician Evan Rachel Wood has accused Marilyn Manson of raping her on the set of the music video for his 2007 single ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’. According to Fox News, the claim was made in a new documentary titled ‘Phoenix Rising’ that focuses on her life and career. It premiered during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

In it, the 34-year-old alleged that during a previously discussed "simulated sex scene," the rocker "started penetrating me for real," once the cameras were rolling. "I had never agreed to that," said Wood.

As per the star, she was fed absinthe on the set of the video where she played a Lolita-styled character. Wood also said she was barely conscious to object to the 53-year-old’s alleged actions.
