The 'Westworld' star addressed the defamation lawsuit her ex-fiancé Marilyn Manson recently filed against her after she accused him of sexual abuse.
by multiple women, which he has repeatedly denied. Though Wood said she's"not scared" of the suit, she described the situation as"sad" because"this is what pretty much every survivor that tries to expose someone in a position of power goes through."
Sharing that an attempt to silence her"was expected," Wood continued,"This is part of the retaliation that keeps survivors quiet. This is why people don't want to come forward." The 34-year-old actress added,"I'm very confident that I have the truth on my side and that and that the truth will come out."
Manson's lawsuit came just weeks before the scheduled release of"Phoenix Rising," an HBO docu-series centered around the actress' work in advocating for the passage of the Phoenix Act in California, which attempts to lengthen the time period domestic abuse survivors have available to bring lawsuits against their abusers.
