Manson registered this complaint in the Los Angeles courts just two weeks before the platform HBO premiere the documentary series phoenix rising, in which the actress recounts her turbulent relationship with the singer, whom she has accused of raping her during the recording of the video clip Heart-Shaped Glasses.
The musician, who denied the facts, has responded to these complaints with a lawsuit in which he accuses Wood and his collaborator, Ashley Gore, of “recruiting, coordinating and pressuring” other women to testify against him.

Immediately after the screening of the documentary, the musician’s lawyer, Howard King, denied the accusations.
