Marilyn Manson was removed from two television shows after actress Evan Rachel Wood and four other women filed allegations of abuse against the rocker on Monday.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, released a statement on Monday denying the charges, calling Woods’ allegations of sexual and physical abuse against him “horrible distortions”.
Starz announced on Monday that he “is unmistakably with all victims and survivors of abuse” and has therefore removed the next episode of the “American Gods” series with Manson.
“Due to the allegations made against Marilyn Manson, we have decided to remove his performance from the remaining episode he is on, scheduled to air later this season,” the network confirmed on the TV show’s verified Twitter account.

Manson played a recurring role during the third season of the series, with the shock rocker appearing in an episode recently on Sunday night, reports Entertainment Weekly.
In addition, AMC’s Shudder removed Manson, 52, from an upcoming segment of the “Creepshow” series, a network representative confirmed to Fox News. Each episode of “Creepshow” airs in two parts, and while Manson’s first segment aired previously, the second with it will be replaced.
Wood, who was already engaged to Manson in 2010, posted his accusations on Instagram Monday morning, claiming that the rocker “brainwashed and manipulated” her during their relationship.

He has since left his label, Loma Vista Recordings.
The “Beautiful People” musician posted a denial on his own Instagram.
“Obviously, my art and my life have always been magnets for controversy, but these recent statements about me are horrible distortions of reality,” he said. “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”
He concluded: “Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”
After Wood shared his own charges, at least four other women posted their own charges against Manson in a show of solidarity, Vanity Fair reported. The women claimed to have suffered “sexual violence, psychological abuse and / or various forms of coercion, violence and intimidation”. The vehicle noted that Manson has denied similar claims in the past.
