Wood took to Instagram to accuse Manson of brainwashing her and manipulating her into submission.

Other women accuse Marilyn Manson of abuse as well
According to The Independent, four other women have come forth with allegations of sexual assault, psychological abuse, coercion and intimidation, against Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, following Wood's post.
In 2019, Wood revealed on social media that she was a victim of domestic abuse. "two years into my abusive relationship, I resorted to self harm. When my abuser would threaten or attack me, I cut my wrist as a way to disarm him. It only made the abuse stop temporarily. At that point, I was desperate to stop the abuse and I was too terrified to leave," she wrote. Read more about it here.
