Evan Rachel Wood Claims Marilyn Manson Raped her During a Video Shoot

According to Evan Rachel Wood, Marilyn Manson ‘essentially raped’ her during the filming of their music video Heart-Shaped Glasses. The actor, who had accused the singer of sexual abuse while they were together, claimed that they had agreed on a simulated sex scene for the video, but he began ‘penetrating’ her for real after they had finished filming. According to her, it was the first crime committed against her.

The former denied the claims. According to the rock musician, it was an imaginative retelling of the making of the 2007 music video.

According to Howard King, Marilyn Manson’s lawyer, this was the ‘most brazen and easiest to disprove’ allegation of all the ‘false allegations made by Wood.

A number of witnesses were present on the sets, and Wood was heavily involved in pre-production, the three-day shoot, and post-production editing. The scenes took hours to shoot because they were shot from numerous camera angles and there were long breaks between camera setups.
