In January 2021, Evan Rachel Wood named Marilyn Manson as her abuser. Before then, ERW had spoken and written about the abuse she suffered from a boyfriend, including intimate-partner violence and rape. Once ERW named Manson, she spoke and wrote in more detail, including the threats he made to release photos and videos he took of her where she was drugged and worse. After ERW named Manson, other victims came forward and told their stories, although at least one of them did recant her story (for what I imagine was a hefty payoff). There are several different avenues through which Manson?s victims are attempting to get justice and it?s all pretty complicated Billboard has a pretty thorough timeline here, if you?re interested. Well, ERW has been dealing with the aftermath of Manson?s abuse for decades, but it?s ramped up significantly in the past two years. She moved out of LA with her son and there was a custody kerfuffle with Jamie Bell last year. Now it looks like Evan has agreed that Bell needs to have primary custody of their son and it?s all about Manson.
Evan Rachel Wood has handed over primary custody of her son to ex Jamie Bell due to fears she could be putting her child in danger by residing with him after ex Marilyn Manson made alleged threats against the child, reports The Blast. According to legal documents obtained by the publication, the actress, 35, has agreed for son Jack, 9, to primarily live with Bell, 36, in Los Angeles. She currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee, and has previously been fighting to keep her son out of LA.
In the filing, Wood and Bell have agreed their son will primarily live with (him) in Los Angeles, (Wood) shall have custody of Jack one (1) extended weekend per month from Friday, after school or 10:00 a.m. Wood will also have custody of Jack for holidays such as Spring Break.
In July 2022, Bell claimed the pair had shared equal custody of Jack for seven years before Wood began keeping Jack from him a claim she denied. Sources tell the publication Wood is extremely afraid of putting her son in danger 17 months after she claimed in a court declaration Manson, 54, told her he would f**k her then eight-year-old son Manson denied the claim.
Manson has faced claims of sexual abuse and human trafficking. More than a dozen women, including Wood, accuse him of abuse accusations Manson has denied.
Wood has allegedly spoken of her fears of retaliation from the singer, saying in custody court: I am a key witness in a pending criminal investigation. In connection with the investigation, I allege that I was the victim of torture, rape, and pedophilic grooming by an intentionally known public figure. I am extremely afraid of the alleged offender. I have suffered a severe, traumatic physical and emotional injury at his hands, and I am afraid that he will seek retribution against me for testifying by harming me, our son, and members of our family.
It was also claimed that Wood alleges she was told directly by investigators that her familys safety was at risk.
Bell is said to have filed documents with the court claiming Wood was keeping their son from him, that it shouldnt matter what was going on with Manson and that the pair should share custody of their son in LA. He wrote: Whatever fears Evan may have regarding third parties should have nothing to do with me or custody of our son. I do not even want to think of the short- and long-term psychological harm Evan might be inflicting upon Jack with this kind of talk and my prolonged separation from him.
Wood responded, denying she had kept Jack from Bell and expressed her real and deep concerns regarding her and Jacks safety should the pair reside in LA. The new custody arrangement was signed and filed with the LA County Courts.
[From The Daily Mail]
I feel sorry for both Evan and Jamie, and their kid too. I can totally understand how Evan thought she was doing the right thing by getting the hell out of LA and out of Manson?s immediate zone. But I also agree that Evan probably violated whatever custodial agreement was already in place with Jamie. It?s horrible that it?s come to this, where Jamie will be the primary custodial parent while Evan is still dealing with all of this bullsh-t from Manson. Don?t forget, Manson is SUING Evan too, because she spoke out about what he did to her.

Last week, Evan Rachel Wood named her abuser. She named Marilyn Manson, the man who groomed her when she was just a teenager and apparently abused her for many years while they were intimate partners. ERW had discussed being a survivor of abuse, rape and trauma in interviews for years, but it wasn?t until now that she named Manson as the abuser. What?s followed Evan telling her story is that nearly a dozen other women have come forward to describe their awful, violent, abusive and/or terrifying ordeals with Manson as well. And because Manson was already a has-been, he?s lost what little he had in the wake of all of this. He lost his recording contract, his guest appearances on TV shows and more. Perhaps in an effort to encourage more survivors to tell their stories, Evan continues to detail the ways in which Manson abused her and terrorized her:
Evan Rachel Wood is sharing more details about the abuse she says she suffered while dating Marilyn Manson. Wood, 33, claimed on her Instagram Story Friday that in addition to emotional and sexual abuse, Manson, 52, was prejudiced against her because of her Jewish heritage. The Westworld actress shared a photo of two of Mansons tattoos which she suggests are swastikas and a Nazi-inspired symbol of a skull-and-crossbones.
I was called a jew in a derogatory manner, Wood wrote in one Instagram Story slide. He would draw swastikas over my bedside table when he was mad at me.
I heard the n word over and over, she continued. Everyone around him was expected to laugh and join in. If you did not or (god forbid) called him out, you were singled out and abused more.
Wood said of that time, I have never been more scared in my life.
My mother is Jewish and I was raised with the religion, Wood continued in another slide. Because she converted and wasnt of Jewish descent he would say things like, thats better because I wasnt blood Jewish.
The actress added that Manson did not have these tattoos when we started dating.
Wood continued to say that the abuse was not part of kinky sex.
Brian and I never had a BDSM relationship, she said in another Instagram Story slide. We didnt even have kinky sex. We werent having sexual intercourse when I was being tortured, before or after. I thought I was going to die the entire time.?
On her Instagram Story Friday, Wood also shared screen grabs of people voicing their support for her and other survivors, as well as clips from her 2019 testimony advocating for the Phoenix Act, which lengthened the statute of limitations on domestic violence cases.
[From People]
If you go to Evan?s Instagram, she?s sharing resources and information about how to report intimate partner crimes, plus she?s giving more details about the fking terrifying ordeal she went through, including Manson holding on to what amounts to blackmail photos of Evan which he used to threaten her, saying he would release the photos and her career would be over. As for the Nazi sh-t? I mean? where to even start. What a pathetic douche. It?s no fking secret that psycho abusers are drawn to Nazi sh-t.

Evan Rachel Wood has only recently been open about being a victim of domestic abuse from a intimate partner. She just started talking about it this spring. While its clear who her abuser was as shes mentioned the timeline and we know who she was dating then, she says she cant name him. Shes since become an activist for domestic abuse survivors. Evan has an interview with Self thats from a few weeks ago but Im only seeing it now. Shes so upfront about what she went through and how she internalized that abuse. You can see that interview here and Ive included some quotes below.
I didnt realize that I was being abused. I thought that I was being strong with a complicated person. I want to name them, but I cant. I think domestic violence is so normalized that I couldnt see a crime being committed. I was so young. I didnt know that you could be raped by your partner. Even if I did know that I dont think I would have thought that anybody would ever believe me, because how do you prove that?
Part of the conditioning when youre in that relationship is believing that its your fault and that youve done something to deserve this. What people dont tell you is theres a period when everything is fine and this person is treating you like a princess and theyre luring you into this illusion of safety and stability. Then something happens and its shocking and you feel like what happened, this person that I love that is so nice just did this and it was so out of character it must have been me.
[From Self interview on YouTube]
The rest of the video interview with Self is quite good. She talks about her bisexuality and how coming to terms with that helped her body image. Up until recently shed been trying to live her life to please everyone else, especially her partners, as she thought thats what you were supposed to do. I think a lot of women can relate to that.
Evan has a new interview on The Tonight Show where she said that she wrote and helped pass a law in California called the Phoenix Act which extends the statute of limitations on domestic violence felonies from three to five years. This law passed last month but Im only hearing about it now. She really got to work on this issue and thats impressive.
Evan is in Frozen 2, the movie that needs zero promotion. She told Fallon it was her dream to do a Disney film and that she sang her songs from Frozen 2 to her son Jack, 6, every night. Her son was so familiar with the music that when he saw the movie he thought they had animated his bedtime routine. Thats adorable! I really like Evan, I appreciate how upfront she is and am so happy to see her kicking ass.

Evan Rachel Wood is posting to Instagram using the #IamNotOk tag, which helps bring awareness to domestic violence. Shes posting photos and details about a time in her life she was trapped in an abusive relationship, when she was underweight and self harming with cutting. While I dont think that Evan has previously disclosed the fact that she was in an abusive relationship, last month she penned an essay about her stay in a mental hospital at the age of 22. Shes gradually opening up about that difficult time. Here are the posts shes made about this.

*trigger warning* 2 years into my abusive relationship I resorted to self harm. When my abuser would threaten or attack me, I cut my wrist as a way to disarm him. It only made the abuse stop temporarily. At that point I was desperate to stop the relentless abuse and I was too terrified to leave. #IAmNotOk

Evan Rachel Wood has been making a big deal about wearing pants on the red carpet for the past year or so. She acts as if she?s making some huge statement about society and gender and role models for little girls, which might be the case? except that I think ERW would be wearing suits regardless of her political motivations. I think she just loves wearing suits. And why wouldn?t she? She looks amazing in tuxedos and suits. These are photos of ERW at the 2017 Emmys, where she was nominated for Westworld. She wore this white Moschino (by Jeremy Scott) tuxedo and looked like the second coming of Marlene Dietrich. This was honestly one of my favorite looks of the night.
I always think that Evan is going to end up looking so much like Robin Wright – they?ve playing mother-and-daughter before, and they really do seem like they?re

| | Evan Rachel Wood on growing up bisexual: 'fear, confusion, loneliness' | | Added 7 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I was in college when I finally understood that I was bisexual, and that there was a word for people like me. It was the early 90s, the Internet was new, and I vividly remember going to the LGBT section of a Barnes and Noble in New York city and reading a book about bisexuality. In my college library I found human sexuality journals, I learned about the Kinsey scale and reached the realization that I was neither alone nor particularly strange (despite the fact that I wore army issue combat boots). Many times I was told to pick a side, that bisexuality wasn’t real, that it was just a phase or an excuse for being promiscuous (in fact I am a monogamist, not that it matters). Both straight and gay people put me down for not being like them so I learned to shut up about it and not say anything.
That’s why it matters when celebrities come out and that’s why we’re covering Evan Rachel Wood’s speech at a Human Rights Campaign gala last weekend. EWR was given a visibility award for being open about her bisexuality, like other celebrities who have come out as bisexual including Anna Paquin, Bella Thorne, Amber Heard and Maria Bello. I wish these amazing women had been around when I was growing up but they’re here now. Evan told the crowd that it was a celebrity identifying as bisexual who helped her realize that there was a word for these feelings that she couldn’t explain. I’m going to excerpt some of her speech but the video is also below and is well worth watching in its entirety. Her speech is powerful and moving and I don’t know whether to high five her or give her a hug.
I thought women were beautiful… [but] I also thought that men were beautiful. I had no way to put what I felt into words. I had no role model, no one I knew was talking about. The only thing that I knew was fear, confusion and loneliness. How can you be what you are when you don’t understand what you are feeling? The more I kept silent, the more my self esteem [lowered].
Then one day I heard an actress say the word “bisexual” and I thought “what the hell is that?” When I found out a lightbulb went off. The word didn’t make me feel marginalized, it made me feel less crazy. It made me feel less alone. It gave me hope. An actress just said a word but it made a world of difference in my life and in my identity.
As an actor my job is to look at a stranger and find myself in them. To have such empathy for a character that I can read someone else’s words and be moved to tears… it was the best therapy and outlet for my silenced voice. I can throw on a mask and say all the things that I wanted to say and never could. It wasn’t until I saw the effect that it had on other people that I really started to see how powerful allowing your most vulnerable parts to be seen was.
I saw another side to what I did and it was the power of visibility. I see you, you see me, we aren’t so different. Through that connection the healing begins.
[From video via The Daily Beast]
Evan later discussed the shame associated with being bisexual and how she could relate so much to the statistics released by the Human Rights Campaign last year, which indicate increased rates of suicide among bisexual people and the fact that we’re more likely to be involved in abusive relationships. She explained her decision to record this video last year discussing her bisexuality and the misconceptions around that (she had come out prior to that) and it was released just two days before the Pulse nightclub attack. In that video she reveals that she attempted suicide when she was younger and that Fairuza Balk is the actress who helped her by publicly identifying as bisexual.
Evan is both an empathetic person and an incredibly talented actress and this speech made me get teary. She also gave a shout out to her parents in the audience and to her fiance. I really liked this quote she gave near the end and would like to end with this, which is in part a quote from Nina Simone. “At this crucial time in our lives when everything is so desperate and every day is a matter of survival I don’t think you can help but be involved. How can you be an artist and not reflect the times? That to me is the definition of an artist… Visibility matters.”

Here are some more photos from Saturday?s BAFTA Tea Party. One of the best side-effects of Westworld is that Evan Rachel Wood is back and wearing interesting clothes. I?ve always had such affection for ERW, and I think she has style, even if I don?t always love what she?s doing. ERW wore Jonathan Simkhai to this event? I think we?re calling this a jumpsuit? Sure. All I can see is her super-structured hair. She has the face for short hair, absolutely (I actually think she?s a million times more striking with short hair), but this is the same haircut that every skater boy had in the ?90s.
Emma Stone in Diane von Furstenberg. This reminds me of the brown-and-white polka dot dress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman, and now that?s all I can see. I don?t love or hate this. I do hope Emma brings it, fashion-wise, to the Globes tonight. Bonus Ryan Gosling! My dream is that Ryan brings Eva Mendes to the Globes!
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. It?s a cute dress and those are cute shoes too. But she looks like a ghost. It?s the combo of pale dress + pale skin + white hair. Betty White looks more youthful.
Ruth Negga in The Vampires Wife. I actually really like this. I want to make some edits on it (the ruffle on the bottom needs to go and I would put her in different shoes), but she looks amazing.
Lily Collins is a Golden Globe nominee? and Michael Shannon isn?t. Keep that in mind. Lily wore this Dior dress to the BAFTA tea party. I kind of hate it. I?m glad Jennifer Lawrence didn?t wear it.
Naomie Harris in Thom Browne. Yeah, no. Too many patterns, too many different fabrics. I understand the idea behind this, and to be fair, this is a well-tailored and smart version, but I still don?t like it.

Evan Rachel Wood, 29, has an extensive interview in Rolling Stone to promote her new show Westworld, which has just one episode left until the end of season one. This show is being propelled by word of mouth and jaw-dropping performances. Without revealing spoilers, it’s being compared to Lost due to its many bizarre plot twists. I have the feeling the payout will be worth it but we’ll see. Also, I did not see last night’s episode yet! I was marathoning a new Netflix show which I highly recommend, 3%, and will have to catch up later today. So please no spoilers in the comments if you can help it. In Rolling Stone, EWR is as candid and open as we’ve come to expect from her. She talks about her high profile relationship with Marilyn Manson, whom she dated when she was 18 and he was 36, about her bisexuality, and she opened up to the journalist after this interview, which was conducted before the election, about the fact that she was raped. I have so much respect for her as an actress and as someone who is open about who she is and how she got there.
She describes her time with Marilyn Manson as experimental
“I met somebody that promised freedom and expression and no judgments. And I was craving danger and excitement. I looked at my mother one day and said, ‘Mom, I’m gonna get on this tour bus for eight months and see the world and have a crazy journey and find myself, and if people aren’t OK with that, I’m sorry, but I can’t live my life for other people.’?”
She was hurt by the criticism of her during her relationship with Manson
“Most teenagers are searching for identity, and I was thrown into a situation where I was supposed to have that already figured out. Then you’re demonized for figuring it out and getting messy. People would call me a whore when I walked down the street, and you can’t not be hurt by that.”
After the election she sent the journalist an email stating that she’d been raped
“Yes, I’ve been raped. By a significant other while we were together. And on a separate occasion, by the owner of a bar… ?I don’t believe we live in a time where people can stay silent any longer. Not given the state our world is in with its blatant bigotry and sexism.”
On bisexuality being conflated with attention-seeking
“It was always talked about like a phase or something stupid, or something you were doing for attention… You know, bisexuality is worthy of eye rolls. And I didn’t realize how damaging that was until I tried to have healthy relationships as an adult and realized that there was still all this shame and conditioning and stigma around my sexuality that was really affecting the way I
