She allowed it to happen, that does not in any way make her a victim. These terms are too loosely thrown around, and the females are NOT taking responsibility for their actions taking part. I have been in an abusive relationship to all degrees; when I realized that the only way for it to stop was to walk away- I knew it was my fault. I took responsibility in stopping what could've been prevented if I didnt allow it to happen.

People saying that she didnt seem like the victim when she was with MM . I was married to the a guy who was pretty verbally, and emotional abusive who I protected a lot in public. For many years I did it. I stood up for and made excuses for a lot of it.. Even my closest friends and family didn't know how he was until our marriage ended. I would know it was wrong because it hurt me, but I felt that was just as good as I was going to get and it was up to me to make it a better marriage.. It wasn't until many many months after I got out that I began to see how damaging being with him was to my whole being--and even more years to get the healing process down. Unless you have been in that type of situation, you just don't know. I even remember telling a therapist (after they asked me "are you sure this is healthy for you to stay with?") that it was ok, that I loved him, and that it was what I wanted. Covert narcissists are around everywhere and they're a very dangerous breed of person.

My boyfriend when I was 21-22 nearly killed me. He gaslit me until I was literally trapped in our apartment 24/7 and brainwashed to the point where I blamed myself for what was happening and couldn’t talk to anyone on the outside. Our roommates were part of conditioning me and blamed me for what was happening. If he hadn’t left me I would have died, without a doubt (he stabbed the girl he left me for). It took me forever to break that conditioning, I didn’t want to be here and fell deeply into addiction to escape the trauma. I had to have a really safe space to sober up and process that trauma in therapy- it took me YEARS. Thank you, Evan, for your bravery in sharing your story.

"I didn't think I was being abused, I thought I was being strong with a complicated person" Exactly how I felt when I was in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship. The thing the media and Hollywood gets wrong about portraying abuse is that not all survivors are I inherently soft-spoken and subservient. You can still be a survivor of abuse but be boldly confrontational throughout said abuse - it's just that, after all the gaslighting you start to get exhausted trying to defend yourself and start to doubt your own intuition.

I was around 15-16 years old when I watched Evan Rachel Wood in the movie Thirteen. One of my all time favorites, as it was scarily relatable to my own turbulent upbringing I had as a young teen. I remember being entranced by the maturity she depicted at such an age and her ability to bring a realness to the screen that I had never witnessed before. It brings me much joy to see that Hollywood didn’t ruin her the way it has so many others. She is an old, wise soul through and through, and we definitely need more of her wisdom shining upon these younger generations who look up to the Kardashians as role models...🙄 Thank you Evan for sharing this interview! You are a beautiful soul. 🤍

Abusive people can't comprehend or accept when people are truly being themselves because abusive people subconsciously hate themselves, and that's why beautiful people like her get abused. It's sad, but abusers provide a sometimes necessary challenge in this twisted reality to face and overcome. We learn to love ourselves more with even greater conviction. People love to hate love, and to those people I say - go ahead and eat your heart out.

I remember when I first saw her. It was when she started dating him and everyone was talking about it and about the age difference between them. To me, she looked like some sort of impossibly flawless porcelain doll, and having him by her side only accentuated that. I felt there was something off about them, but didn't know what it was (I was just a kid, a few years younger than her). Now I look at her talking and laughing and I can see an actual human being. I don't even want to imagine what she must have gone through. He obviously saw her as his own little doll, that's for sure.

Wow, I started crying when I listened to her speak about overcoming her body shame. When I was younger I was super skinny and I hated myself. Now I'm heavy and I hate myself. I buy all the clothes and shoes and makeup, anything to make myself feel good for a minute, until I really look in the mirror. I am 45 years old and have spent a lifetime hating my body. I hope i find the courage to accept myself before I die.

Saying he was violent and angry, smash windows, etc.. and Evan never accused Manson directly but it seems like it was him. edit: omg you guys Evan just came out and said it for real.. I think I had made this up about Evan because it was obvious and I just had inferred it somehow.. but Dita and Rose said he wasn't so it seems like he preyed on less famous people.

Chic Noir29 Dita has chosen to stay mum on the subject. She left Manson because he had taken up with Evan Rachel Wood, and had gone off the deep end with drugs. She quietly filed for divorce and didn’t ask for any financial support. Dita has also said that she and Manson are friends again. Dita has always been extremely humble and I’ve never heard her say anything bad about anyone. She seems very old school in terms of ‘If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything’. Dita’s Burlesque tours are extremely successful and she keeps getting more and more famous. Her ex’s who have treated her badly have fallen considerably.

Where did they say that?

Wow she’s such a beautiful soul. It’s also amazing how many celebrities are opening up about who they really are and their struggles. It makes all the misfits of the world, or anyone who has struggled feel more ok with being different. like she said, it removes shame. What kind of world would it be if everyone could embrace who they are, be real and authentic, vulnerable and different. I’m seeing this world opening up even in the midst of what seems to be in upwelling of ignorance and evil.

What she said about pregnancy was so honest and beautiful. If you are a woman who doesn't want children this obviously doesn't apply to you, but yeah I do feel like childbirth (cesarean or vaginal) is an ultimate test. It really does push our bodies to the edge of what it really is to be a biological woman. And that's incredible. I know many women will want this experience and may not have it. I wish we could all have what we want, just not the way of the world.

I'm glad you've gained some clarity around your past, Evan. That doesn't mean that what you consented to was unconsentual. You ran into the arms of someone wearing their crazy scars literally on their sleeve. You could not get more "I'm insane" than Marilyn Manson. YOU have to own why YOU sought comfort in that chaotic place. That's YOUR journey, and no amount of self-victimization or attempting to destroy a sick man's career will change that you were also sick and sought that person out.

Wait. 2 years later and now we find she is full of it. Impersonating an fbi agent, forging fbi letters? Really? Why would you have to do something like that if you are telling the truth. Manson is weird, but he is not an abuser.

I was blind at first. I have memory problems and that was used to gaslight me. She used my compassion and empathy to manipulate me. Threats to control me. Nobody believed me because she was a petite 4'10 woman and had this loud, confident energy whereas I was bigger, shy and introverted. All of who I am was chipped away bit by it. It's been three years I've been out and I'm still struggling to get back to me, I don't even know if I can ever get back to that person, but I'm working on loving myself again and learning who I am

I stand with you, Evan ♥

I needed to hear this. I’ve always been told “your a such a smart girl” I excelled in college and academics, started a career a have immense passion for overcoming a traumatic and unstable childhood and during all this seemingly positive success I was dating someone who was slowly becoming more and more monstrous in their treatment of me. I eventually became a emotional punching bag daily for them to climb on top of and shove themselves inside me when feeling emasculated by society. I gave up autonomy in hopes that if I complied the mistreatment would stop, it did not. It only escalated until I was suicidal. This person was charming, said all the right things in public, making me afraid to reach out for help for fear no one would believe me and support me. Which did end up happening in some regard making me see how victim blaming is a common aspect of my families culture as Asian American with toxic gender values. But what was worse is this illusion people had created about my image as a strong independent woman made it impossible for people to see me as a victim taking away my ability to identify what was happening to me. I told myself “I’m not a victim, I’m not naive like other women who don’t know better” I’m disgusted that I thought this way at all. That thinking is what kept me trapped. Predators can look like anyone and so can victims. We have to end the silence, end the stigma, stop doubting and challenging brave survivors who courageously tell their stories. For my child and myself I needed to get free and get myself healed and whole again. But it was a fight, a fight that took help, help that I know not all people suffering silently in abusive partnerships have. If you are a survivor I encourage you to share you story. The personal is political and your voice matters so much. We can do better if we do it together.

Thank you for the courage to speak out about being a domestic violence survivor. As a survivor myself, you described the abuse process perfectly in stages starting with vulnerability, lack of knowledge, conditioning, and the destruction/havoc it causes on victims. The more people are educated on the domestic violence, the stages of the abuse , the predators and their luring conditioning, the less victims there will be. It goes back to the more people know the better they are equipped to protect themselves. Survivors have to speak out to protect & equip future potential victims.

Based solely on the title, I didn't expect this to give me so much joy. What a brilliant person! So glad you lived to spread your light..

I just love how happy Evan looks when she is talking about being comfortable with her body and sexuality, and how happy she looked when explaining her pregnancy. She’s so sweet. I pray that her and her family will always have happiness.

And this interview has made me absolutely LOVE her. What a real and honest talk. She is so articulate and relatable. Love every part of this talk. Favourite quote: "Oh, I've been given the perfect body for who I am." And yes I totally googled her relationship with Marilyn Manson.

Thank you. This is beautiful. I cannot get enough of watching and being women who are coming into ourselves. This time is so special, and sad at the same time. It should never have taken so long for this.

It's crazy to me how hear what she's been through. I'm astonished how she's able to talk about that topic now. I'm blown away be her performance as an actress in Westworld, and watching this video makes me feel like there's such a parallel. The strength of her aura is likewise in the late development of her character who in the beginning only saw the beauty in the world but was left to experience horrible things and truths and ends up having such a powerful force in her personality as a result of all the tough things she had to endure. She really is a fascinating person - and is able to act it out on stage.

In my worst relationship it was two damaged people creating more damage and thinking somehow it was going to be ok. It was not. In no way was it ok. It haunts me to this day.

I know I'm still struggling and can't bring myself to get physically close and intimate emotionally and physically with another man, I think I'm ok and as soon as I'm in a situation of being alone, I freeze up. I am on medication and need therapy to function because of it. I might not ever be able to have that again because of the domestic violence I suffered.
