Wolf Alice singer Ellie Rowsell shared a story from her own experience getting to know Marilyn Manson while tweeting her solidarity with the shock rocker’s ex-girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood. “I met Marilyn backstage at a festival a few years ago. After her praise for my band became increasingly hyperbolic, I began to suspect her behavior, ”she post reads. “I was shocked to look down and see that he was filming my skirt with a GoPro.”
Rowsell continues: “There was no impact on his behavior, his tour manager simply said ‘he does this kind of thing all the time’. If he does this kind of thing all the time, why the hell has he been the main attraction of festivals for so many years? When are we going to stop training misogynists because of their success? Women must feel safe in the male-dominated world that is the music industry ”.
Evan Rachel Wood’s allegations of enticement and abuse by Manson earlier this month were followed by additional allegations of varied misconduct by several women. Manson was later abandoned by his record label, tour agency and longtime manager.
On February 1, Jenna Jameson told the Daily Mail that the singer had “fantasized about burning [her] alive ”when they dated in 1997. Ex-wife Dita Von Teese, who divorced Manson after a one-year marriage in 2006“ due to infidelity and drug use, ”said on February 4 that“ the details become audiences do not correspond to my experience during our 7 years together as a couple. That same day, Phoebe Bridgers also said the singer once referred to a room in his house as the “r * pe room”, before writing: “The record company knew, the manager knew, the band knew. Getting away now, pretending to be shocked and horrified is fucking pathetic. “
