(TW) Manson’s ‘Blood Pact’ With Evan Rachel Wood and More...

Via Rolling Stone:

In Phoenix Rising, a two-part documentary by filmmaker Amy Berg (West of Memphis, Prophet’s Prey), Wood recounts how she met Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, the allegations she’s made against him, and how her experience led her to form the Phoenix Act, a nonprofit organization that aids survivors of domestic abuse. Since then, more than a dozen other women have come forward with similar stories and four have filed civil lawsuits against Warner. (Warner has refuted all of Wood’s claims and sued her earlier this month for defamation, among other charges.) Here are 14 takeaways we learned from the film, which debuts on HBO today:

1. Wood claims Warner had threatened her if she were to speak out against him.
Early in the film, Wood claims she has received threatening messages from anonymous people online telling her not to come forward. She also says Warner personally told her not to name him. “He once told me that he would f**k up my whole family from the bottom up and he would start with my dad,” she said. “I have a child and it’s really scary. Naming Brian without support is too much of a risk.”

...

4. Warner allegedly indoctrinated Wood and other women via scarification.
In a scene that resembles some of Warner’s other accusers’ stories, Wood recalls how he allegedly encouraged her to carve an “M” into her skin (she shows the scar in the second part of the doc). “Scarification and branding was a part of it,” she says in the first part. “He carved an ‘E,’ and I carved an ‘M’ as a way to show ownership and loyalty, and I carved it right next to my v****a to show him that I belong to him. So it’s January 2007. I really want to get that scar removed.” Wood also suggested a vampire-like connection, too, in the scene when her friend, Illma Gore, mentions a blood pact with Warner. “Yeah, drinking blood is definitely a thing,” Wood says.

...

6. Wood claims Warner “essentially r*ped” her during the filming of his “Heart-Shaped Glasses” video.
Wood was 19 when she agreed to star in the “Heart-Shaped Glasses” video – a clip for a song inspired, in part, by pedophilia; Warner has said that he was taken by seeing Wood wearing the titular frames because they resembled those on the movie poster for Lolita, a film about a grown man seducing a prepubescent girl. “We had discussed a simulated sex scene, but once the cameras were rolling, he started p*n*tr*ting me for real,” she says. “I had never agreed to that. I’m a professional actress. I’ve been doing this my whole life. I’ve never been on a set that unprofessional in my life, like, up until this day. It was complete chaos. No one was looking after me. It was a really traumatizing experience filming the video.”

She goes on to say that she felt she had been conditioned to soldier through the experience. “I felt disgusting and like I had done something shameful,” she says. “And I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable, and nobody knew what to do. I was coerced into a commercial s*x act under false pretenses. That’s when the first crime was committed against me, and I was essentially r*ped on camera.” Wood’s mother says that when the actress confided the incident to her, Wood was shaking. (Warner’s lawyer vehemently denied that the s*x was real. “Brian did not have s*x with Evan on that set, and she knows that is the truth,” attorney Howard King said.)

I just finished watching the two-part documentary and this isn't even HALF of the horrible things discussed. It's definitely worth watching and you will have no question that she and the other women are telling the truth. He will get what's coming to him...

He is a sick, evil, deranged, twisted, SICK excuse of a human being (if you can even call him that). I myself have been under manipulation and the control of a man who previously raped me, so this sounds very familiar to me and hits home for me. The fact that there are people like him roaming this planet is beyond me. I hope he will end up behind bars and live with himself for the actual MONSTER he is. This truly enrages me. I stand with ALL these women.

It's also really triggering for me too because I've (unfortunately) had several abusive relationships and it took me years after to realize I was manipulated, abused and raped because "No" means no. 

The silver lining is seeing these stories being told and even just exposing someone like this feels like justice for all of us.
