CW: Descriptions of assault and sexual violence.

Pictured above is Brian Warner, better known as Marilyn Manson, and Evan Rachel Wood.

The two started dating in 2007, when she was 19 and he was 38, and were briefly engaged before breaking up.

In the past few years, Wood has started speaking out about the abuse she says she suffered at the hands of Manson and she’s not alone.

Since she spoke out, more than a dozen women have come forward to talk about their own experiences with him, including ex-girlfriend Rose McGowan, and former porn star Jenna Jameson, who says that Manson ‘fantasised about burning her alive’.

Now Wood is sharing further details in the HBO docuseries Phoenix Rising, including allegations that Manson “made her drink his blood, hit her with a swastika-adorned Nazi whip and shocked her private parts”.

Here’s the official HBO trailer:

Phoenix Rising – Part I: Don’t Fall aired on HBO last night, and Phoenix Rising – Part II: Stand Up airs tonight.

Here’s USA Today:

In a chilling 2008 home video, Manson can be heard demanding that Wood answer him or else “I’ll kill you.”

Wood says Manson deprived her of sleep and suspected him of putting meth into drugs she was taking. She says she threw up every day and couldn’t get out of bed and claims he would also rape her in her sleep…

She says the abuse continued: He hit her with a Nazi whip from the Holocaust and shocked her private parts. He made her drink his blood, and he drank hers.

Those accounts are consistent with the stories told by multiple other accusers.

Directed by Amy Berg, best known for The Case against Adnan Syed, the docuseries plots how Wood finally found her voice and chose to speak out, thereby encouraging others to do the same.
