Another woman accuses Marilyn of acts of physical and emotional torment, including locking her in rooms. She also alleges that Manson threatened severe physical harm regularly, which is common in all the accusations.
Many of the survivors of Manson’s alleged abuse now have PTSD as a result of his actions. All are left with scars in one way or another, but their voices have been heard and have gained support.

Marilyn Manson is yet to respond to the allegations made against him this year, but he’s denied them before. The singer has gotten away with plenty of claims in the past, but he isn’t so lucky now.
Loma Vista Recordings released a statement soon after Wood and the other women came out against Marilyn. The above is Marilyn Manson’s record label, which he was working on an album with until now.
The label expressed their concern towards the ‘disturbing’ allegations made against their artist. They identified the recent accusations of abuse as their reason to drop Marilyn Manson with immediate effect.
Wood and the other survivors may have been robbed of justice in court, but something is being done now. We hope that Manson is geared up to face the music for his actions beyond this first step made by his label.
