Marilyn Manson said he ‘fantasized every day’ about ‘smashing Evan Rachel Wood’s skull with a sledgehammer’
MARILYN Manson "fantasized every day" about smashing Evan Rachel Wood's skull with a slegdehammer, he admitted in a disturbing interview after their break-up.
The rocker, 52, also described how he bombarded the actress with phone calls and slashed himself with a razor in comments that resurfaced after she accused him of "horrific abuse".
Wood, now 33, met Manson when she was 18 and he was yet to finalise his divorce from burlesque dancer Dita von Teese.
They split a year later, which he said sent him into a spiral of despair.
In a 2009 interview with Spin magazine, Manson said: "My lowest point was Christmas Day 2008, because I didn’t speak to my family. My walls were covered in scrawlings of lyrics and cocaine bags nailed to the wall.
Model Ashley Lindsay Morgan said Manson subjected her to abuse including sleep deprivation.
She said: “There was abuse, sexual violence, physical violence and coercion.
"I still feel the affects every day. I have night terrors, PTSD, anxiety, and most crippling OCD."
Sarah McNeilly, another model, says she was “abused, terrorized and scarred” by a man “posing as the perfect boyfriend” – describing his chilly home as “the meat locker”
She added: “I want to see Brian held accountable for his evil.”
Manson denied the allegations in a statement on Instagram.
He said: "Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality.
"My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how - and why - others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth."
