Marilyn Manson denies Evan Rachel Wood’s claim that he “essentially raped” her in the music video.

Marilyn Manson’s lawyer is denying Evan Rachel Wood’s claim that the singer “essentially raped her on camera” during a 2007 music video shoot, and in turn accuses the actress of making up “false allegations.”

In a statement to EW on Tuesday, attorney Howard King said: “Of all the false claims Evan Rachel Wood has made about Brian Warner, her imaginative retelling of the making of the ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’ music video 15 years ago is the only one.” the boldest and easiest to refute because there were multiple witnesses.” (Brian Warner is Manson’s official name.)

King continued, “Not only was Evan completely coherent and engaged throughout the three days of filming, but he was also heavily involved in the weeks of pre-production planning and days of post-production editing of the final cut. The simulated sex scene took several hours to film.” With multiple shots from different angles and several long pauses between camera shots, Brian did not have sex with Evan on this set, and she knows that to be the truth.

Representatives for Wood did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In the documentation Phoenix Rising – Part I: Don’t Fallwhich premiered Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival and will air on HBO later this year, Wood says she was “forced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses” during the filming of Manson’s “Heart-Shaped Glasses” music video. Who was her boyfriend back then?

“It’s not what I imagined,” he said Westworld The 34-year-old actress remembers in the film. “We’re doing things that weren’t what I expected. We had discussed a simulated sex scene, but when the cameras were rolling, he started to really penetrate me.” The experience was “traumatizing,” she says.

In 2018, Wood spoke before a House Judiciary Committee in support of the Bill of Rights for Sexual Assault Survivors. At the time, she described “toxic psychological, physical and sexual abuse” she suffered at the hands of an unnamed ex. She named Manson, 53, as her alleged abuser last February, at a time when several women had made similar allegations of abuse.

Manson’s lawyer previously issued a statement saying he “vehemently denies any allegations of sexual assault or abuse against anyone.”

After the allegations came to light, Manson was banned from his record label and from various television appearances, including American Gods And Scary show.
