'I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses'
She says in the documentary that starring in Manson’s music video for “Heart-Shaped Glasses” when she was 19 was really when problems escalated. According to, the video was supposed to mimic sex, but Wood says Manson actually penetrated her on camera. “I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses," she says in the documentary."That’s when the first crime was committed against me, and I was essentially raped on camera.
But filming the traumatizing video was only part of the pain for Wood. She says in the documentary, according to, that she was also coached on how to discuss the video with the press and told to say it was romantic. And though she says she felt hurt and not at all like it was romantic, she ”was scared to do anything that would upset Brian in any way."Even before publicly pinpointing Manson for abusing her, Wood was outspoken on the topic.
Other victims have come forward since as well, sharing similar stories of their experiences with the musician.
