Evan Rachel Wood Says That Sexual Scenes In ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’ Were Rape By Marilyn Manson

Evan Rachel Wood Says That Sexual Scenes In ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’ Were Rape By Marilyn Manson

In the past year or so, Marilyn Manson has been in the news constantly after all the allegations that have been made on him. He has been accused of rape, grooming, emotional, psychological and sexual abuse by different women such as  Ashley Walters, Sarah McNeilly, Scarlett Kapella and many other women. One of them is Evan Rachel Wood who accused Manson of grooming her as a teen. She accused him of manipulation and brainwashing as well. She has come forward in her recent documentary named Phoenix Rising where she talks about her experience starring in Manson’s ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’ and said that she was raped on camera.

Phoenix Rising was released at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival which documented Wood’s life and career. She spoke about her experience with Manson. She met him in 2006 when she was 18 and he was 38 (which is so inappropriate from the get-go). She said that a lot of the sexual scenes in the video were things that weren’t informed to her in advance. Wood also said, “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 have been doing this my whole life, I’d never been on a set that unprofessional in my life up until this day. It was complete chaos, and I did not feel safe. No one was looking after me.”

Evan Rachel Wood also said that she was traumatized and didn’t know how to stand up for or advocate for herself, which is usually the case for assault victims, especially teens. She said that she was conditioned to not stand up for herself and to simply soldier through it.

Wood said that everybody on the set was uncomfortable and didn’t know how to handle the situation. She said, “I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretences. That’s when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera.”

I cannot even imagine how horrifying this must have been for Evan Rachel Wood. And the fact that no one on set stood up for her against Marilyn Manson disgusts me even further. Marilyn Manson has had at least 11 women who accused him heinous crimes like this one and it is high time we take away the power from people like him and safeguard the interests of victims.
