Evan Rachel Wood has said her new HBO documentary about suffering alleged abuse at the hands of Marilyn Manson is an attempt to “protect people”.
Explaining her decision to share her story in Phoenix Rising, Wood said: “I’m [making this documentary] to protect people.
Wood also addressed Manson’s recent defamation lawsuit against her, filed shortly before the release of Phoenix Rising.
In Phoenix Rising, Wood claims the controversial singer “essentially raped” her while filming the music video for his 2007 single “Heart-Shaped Glasses”.
