Pheobe Bridgers Accuses Marilyn Manson Has A 'Rape Room' In His House

Pheobe Bridgers: Indie musician Pheobe Bridgers on Thursday wrote on Twitter that rock singer Marilyn Manson had mentioned having a 'rape room' in his house.

Throughout this week, 52-year-old Manson has been accused for sexual assault by several women. Voicing support to these women, Pheobe Bridgers said on Twitter, " I went to Marilyn Manson's house when I was a teenager with some friends. I was a big fan. He referred to a room in his house as the 'rape room', I thought it was just his horrible frat boy sense of humor."

In a following tweet, 26-year-old singer added, "I stopped being a fan. I stand with everyone who came forward."

TW:

I went to Marilyn Manson’s house when I was a teenager with some friends. I was a big fan. He referred to a room in his house as the “r*pe room”, I thought it was just his horrible frat boy sense of humor. I stopped being a fan.

I stand with everyone who came forward.

Pheobe Bridgers also accused his recording label, management company and former band members of being aware of his behaviour. 

The label knew, management knew, the band knew. Distancing themselves now, pretending to be shocked and horrified is fucking pathetic.

Pheobe Bridgers backs Evan Rachel Wood's allegations 

Bridger's series of tweets came just hours after police gathered at the rock star's home in Hollywood on Wednesday. They had arrived to carry out a 'welfare check' after a concerned friend was unable to get in touch with Manson. 

Earlier on Monday, five women made coordinated statements on Instagram about how Manson allegedly treated them. All the women claimed that they had been victims of sexual misconduct, manipulation, and physical and emotional abuse at Manson's hands.

One of the women is 33-year-old actor Evan Rachel Wood. She was in fact engaged to Manson for eight months in 2010. "The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson.  He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years," she wrote in her statement.

Though previously also Wood had addressed about being abused, but she had not mentioned the name of her abuser. In her statement from Monday, she wrote, "I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man."

More accusations against Manson

Another of the five women is an artist known as Gabrielle. She claimed to have dated Manson for six months between 2015 and 2016. During this time, he manipulated her mentally and assaulted her. She was 22 years old when they were in a relationship. Further she shared her pictures and texts with Manson as a proof to her claims.

Meanwhile, three other women also made allegations on social media following Wood's accusations. Though these women did not specify their relationship with Manson, all three affirmed he was an abuser. On Tuesday too, four more women came forward with allegations against the rock star.

Denying all claims

Marilyn Manson has denied all allegations that has come out till date. He referred to the claims as 'distortions of reality'.  

His statement read, "Obviously, my life and my art have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth." 

However, his record label, Loma Vista Recordings and Creative Artists Agency dropped him after the allegations surfaced. He has also been scrubbed from two upcoming shows 'American Gods' and 'Creepshow'. 

But no investigation has been launched yet officially. Also Manson has never been arrested for any of the women's allegation in the past.
