Let’s not beat around the bush – things haven’t been looking up for Marilyn Manson. While the ghoulish, makeup-wearing figure has always been controversial, the controversies surrounding him nowadays are more severe than ever. This time, the talk isn’t about him throwing chicken feet into a raging audience or cutting himself on stage (we’re used to that stuff by now).

Nowadays, the talk about Manson has to do with his degrading behavior, behavior that has led his victims to a life-long struggle with depression, PTSD, and crippling anxiety. His former partner, Evan Rachel Wood, was the first one to speak up.
