Evan Rachel Wood claims ex-beau Marilyn Manson threatened to 'f**k' her 8-yr-old son
Rock musician Marilyn Manson is currently under investigation for sexual abuse and human trafficking, but we recently got a more detailed insight into his personal life from a rather unique source - court documents from ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood's custody battle with Jamie Bell. In those documents, Wood details how Manson threatened her eight-year-old, forcing her to up her security at home in fear.
The stunning revelation is just one of the many to come out in recent weeks, as the investigation into Manson goes deeper. He's also facing lawsuits over his behavior, including one in May 2021 from photographer Ashley Walters. Amongst the many accusations against the musician, 'Game of Thrones' star Esme Bianco claims she was beaten, electrocuted, and raped in 2011. Photographer Erica Von Stein also said Manson forced female fans to strip to "rate their chests" after a concert in Scotland.

Needless to say, the accusations are pretty severe and damning against Manson, but they only seem to keep getting worse. In February 2021, Wood did come forward to accuse Manson of abuse, saying in an Instagram post, "He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years." She never exactly went into detail about all that happened, which we now have some idea of thanks to her legal paperwork.
'I am extremely afraid'
Wood is currently fighting for custody of her son Jack, whom she had with ex-partner Jamie Bell. The battle has remained largely out of the news, till December 6, when The Daily Mail reported on it. The documents regarding Manson were filed back in March, with Wood saying she intends to testify against the rocker, who she calls "the alleged offender". The paperwork was filed after Wood moved from Los Angeles to Nashville, which she said was because of her fear of Manson, and not to keep Jack away from Bell, as he alleged.
She said in the declaration, "I only recently learned that (Manson) was involved in human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of minors on a large scale. These new developments, combined with the pending criminal investigation, lead me to be very concerned about our child's safety when in Los Angeles." She went on to say, "I am extremely afraid of the alleged offender. I have suffered severe, traumatic physical and emotional injury at his hands, and I am afraid he will seek retribution against me for testifying by harming me, our son, and members of my family."
She went on to claim Manson threatened to "f--k" her son, and also threatened the children of other women. "I know where they live, where their f-----g kids go to school, where they work, their parents..." he allegedly said in a recording obtained by Wood. It's a story Bell doesn't appear to be buying. In retaliation, he filed a document saying "Evan's story defies credibility... Either Evan's claims that she is receiving 'death threats' are true and Jack is not safe in her care, or they are not true and she is withholding our son from me for other reasons of her own invention."
Wood and Bell split in 2014, and have since been co-parenting Jack. In February 2021, she first came forward with accusations against Manson, who she dated before meeting Bell in 2005. In the fall of 2020, Wood and Jack moved to an undisclosed location in Nashville, as the case against Manson began to unravel, and she became a witness in the case. As a result, Wood beefed up security at her home and wants Bell to do the same if he is to take custody of Jack. It's unclear what happened after Bell filed his response.
