Dita Von Teese talks about accusations against Marilyn Manson
Dita Von Teese talks about abuse charges against ex-husband Marilyn Manson
Evan Rachel Wood and several other women performed on February 1 with allegations of abuse against Marilyn Manson. On the same day, the label Loma Vista dismissed the artist. Now, Dita Von Teese, who started dating Manson in 2001 and was married to him from 2005 to 2007, has addressed the charges.
Von Teese shared his statement on Instagram, saying the allegations “do not match” her own relationship with Manson.
The statement says:
I have been processing the news that broke Monday regarding Marilyn Manson.
To those who have expressed your concerns of my well-being, I appreciate your kindness. Please know that the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple. Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005. I left 12 months later due to infidelity and drug abuse.
Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship. I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal and the strength to fully realize yourself.
This is my sole statement on this matter. Thank you for respecting this request
Manson’s relationship with Wood coincided with her marriage to Von Teese. According to People, Wood met Manson in 2006 at Chateau Marmont, “the two of us hiding in the corner of a party that neither of us wanted to be at.” In a 2007 interview with the Telegraph, Von Teese said that “her relationship with another girl” was one of the main factors in her decision to leave Manson.
Rose McGowan, who dated Manson from 1999 to 2001, also spoke about the allegations on social media, expressing her support for women. “When he was with me, he wasn’t like that, but it doesn’t matter if he was like that with other people before or after,” she said.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, released an Instagram statement on February 2 denying the charges. “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – other people are choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth, ”he wrote.
