Evan Rachel Wood claims that she was “essentially raped on-camera” by Marilyn Manson in one of his videos in the first part of 'Phoenix Rising,' Wood’s new documentary that premiered at Sundance2022
“[The glasses are] so iconic and it was meeting someone who had the sense of humor to know that, OK, people are going to make fun of the fact that it’s a Lolita-esque friendship/relationship, whatever the case might be,” Manson told“It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be,” Wood says in the Amy Berg-directed film. “We’re doing things that were not what was pitched to me. We had discussed a simulated sex scene, but once the cameras were rolling, he started penetrating me for real.
“I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses,” Wood adds in the doc. “That’s when the first crime was committed against me. I was essentially raped on-camera.”, Wood claims that Warner was “really clear” with how she should describe the video when it came up in interviews at the time. “I was supposed to tell people we had this great, romantic time and none of that was the truth,” she says as an article quoting her saying the sex wasn’t real flashes across the screen.
Part One of the two-part film, which airs in full later this year on HBO, explores Wood’s fractious family life growing up alongside her tumultuous relationship with Warner and its aftermath. The actress met the then-38-year-old Warner in 2006 at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont when she was 18 and the pair quickly began dating. “I think that [the age difference] helps to match my emotional immaturity,” he said in an interview at the time.
“In the beginning, it was very much disguised as, ‘I’m here to empower you and set you free. I’m here to show you who you really are,’” she says in the film. “He just represented all of these things that I wanted to unleash and not be ashamed of.“
