“Once the cameras were rolling, it really started to get into me,” she recounted in a documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
american actress Evan Rachel Wood charged goth rocker Marilyn Manson of raping her on camera during the filming of the music video for her 2007 hit single Heart-Shaped Glasses.
Wood, star of the television series Westworld, made the accusations in the HBO documentary Phoenix Rising, which premiered at the Sundance film festival.
“We had discussed a simulated sex scene. But once the cameras were rolling, it really started to penetrate me.”, He said. “I never agreed to that.”
Former child actress Wood began dating Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, in 2006, when she was 18 and he was 37.
Manson said the song Heart-Shaped Glasses was inspired by the image of Wood wearing the heart-shaped glasses made famous on the movie poster Lolita de Stanley Kubrick.
“I didn’t know how to defend myself and I didn’t know how to say no, because I had been conditioned and trained to never respond, just to move on.”Wood said. “I realized that the team was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do.”
“I was forced to participate in a commercial sex act under false pretenses…I was basically raped on camera.”
According to the documentary, later Manson pressed Wood to tell reporters that there had been no actual sex during the video shoot.
Wood’s mother recalls hearing from a crew member that Manson was giving Wood absinthe liqueur “and whatever else,” and that she was in no condition to consent when he parted ways with the script. .
Representatives for Manson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP.
Manson has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault, including Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco.

Los Angeles police confirmed last year that they were investigating allegations of domestic violence against the singer.
Manson, who has long cultivated a controversial image with his ghostly makeup and stage name reminiscent of the serial killer Charles Manson, has parted ways with his record label Loma Vista Recordings and the Hollywood agency CAA since the allegations became public.
But he continues to record music and last year he participated in the album Donda de Kanye West.
The documentary Phoenix Rising reviews the efforts of Wood and other sexual abuse survivors to extend the statute of limitations on these crimes and give them more time to seek justice after the abuse.
The Sundance film festival, which is taking place online again this year due to the pandemic, will run until January 30. (I)
