Dita Von Teese spoke about the sexual abuse charges against her ex-husband Marilyn Manson.
The musician was accused of abuse, enticement and manipulation by actor Evan Rachel Wood and four other women.
Manson denied the charges that were brought against him, writing in a statement on his Instagram page: “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with partners of similar minds. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth. “
Von Teese and Manson have been in a relationship for seven years, including a year of marriage from 2005 to 2006. They divorced because of “irreconcilable differences” related to the musician’s drug use and infidelity, according to Von Teese.
The burlesque dancer and model has already spoken out about the accusations facing her ex-husband, saying that they “do not correspond to my personal experience”.
“I have been processing Monday’s news about Marilyn Manson,” she wrote on Instagram. “For those who expressed their concern for my well-being, I thank you for your kindness.
“Please know that the details made public do not correspond to my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple. If they did, I would not have married him in December 2005. I left 12 months later due to infidelity and drug use ”.
She continued: “Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship. I urge those of you who have been abused to take steps to heal and have the strength to fully realize yourself. “
Von Teese’s statement follows that of another former Manson partner, actress Rose McGowan. The Charmed The star shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday (February 2), with the caption: “I am deeply sorry for those who have suffered the abuse and mental torture of Marilyn Manson.
“When I say that Hollywood is a cult, I mean that the entertainment industry, including the music industry, is a cult. The cult protects rot at the top. Theirs is a disease that must be stopped. The industrial fame complex chooses who they protect and who they will let be their victims. For profit. “
Since the allegations were made public, Manson has been abandoned by his label, Loma Vista, and his booking agent, CAA. He was also removed from his TV projects, with his appearances removed from the American gods and the Freak show anthology.
