Please don't stop using or describing 'red flags'. I was in a series of narcissistic relationships throughout the first 50 years of my life. I am still innately attracted to this personality type and it is only because of your work that I have been identify these people very early - if not from across the room - and I don't get near them or I immediately run in the other direction.

I think the problem is not in using the term red flags, but in the way it’s perceived : an honest signal the abuser sends about people about who he is, making the victim responsible of their own abuse if they don’t see then or don’t take them into account and avoid the person. And she points how this understanding is totally misunderstanding the relationship of abuse and the psychological mechanisms, without saying it puts the blame and responsibility entirely on the victim. I think if we were not living in an apologetic society, and a sexist society, that’s obsessed about merit and individual responsibility above all else, the red flag term would not be so misunderstood and misused. But it unfortunately is. I don’t think it’s a reason to put it in the trash entirely but there is definitely something to do about that. Also even if the term red flag would not exist another term talking about the same behaviors and signs would exist in its place, it wouldn’t erase this reality. But it would maybe set society’s understanding even more backward because not only would you need to be more informed about a word you would need to change your vocabulary and use another and if you don’t know the new term it can pose problems to communicate and that’s the key here.

There are two types of people who can describe accurately the tactics of a malignant narcissist. One of those is the victims who have won the knowledge the hard way, backed up by their own extensive research. The other type doesn't have to do much research because they are just describing themselves. Evan Rachel Wood is very likely the latter. Do some decent reserch on this case, there is some great analysis right here on KZread, and then consider which type you think Evan is and who is really the victim in this case.

She also mentioned being raped by a bar owner and ex bf in the same interview which is weird to acknowledge her rape and speak highly of the person (who she later accuses of that rape) in the same interview.

In Sweden some are advocating for an anti grooming law: it would mean that young people who are by law.considered old enough to have sex, can have sex with other young people with a maximum age difference of five years.

The part where Evan talks about how Brian's drug use, appearance and reputation made the backlash to their relationship all judgement instead of concern to her is so important. I've heard people talk specifically about Evan's abuse saying, "well she was stupid and crazy to get with a freak like Marilyn Manson in the first place" when the truth is that she saw something in him that she loved and its useless to shame and isolate her further because of that. All that does is further push victims into the hands of their abusers, if anyone has a friend, family member or even acquaintance in a situation like Evan's the best thing you can do is offer them judgement free support

I'm almost 30 and even if I dated the most vicious and manipulative 19 years old, I'd still have the upper hand in the relationship, because of my experience with meeting and dating people in the past. Now imagine Brian, a 36 years old that has traveled the world, has met hundreds of thousands of people, has had a long career at this point plus has had many more long term relationships than a 19 years old would ever think of having. He was not the victim. He had the control in the relationship, he knew what he was doing and knew the consequences of his acts. He had a full developed frontal cortex. Again, even if she was the most vicious and manipulative 19 years old, he could even use this to his favor, or he could simply stop seeing her, due to his experiences. Evan, by the other hand, was just getting out of her mother's arms, just getting out of her teenager years, she was far more gullibe, and naïve than Brian, just because of her age. So no, Brian is NOT a victim.😂

She IS the abuser. Look at the evidence.

I've been my mums support my whole life; essentially her innocence was snuffed out early in childhood mainly from abuse from her father. Which was further exacerbated by her mum being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and a brain tumor, she passed away when my mum was only 14 years old. She then runs away from home, meets my father who is 8 years older than her on the streets, both living this kind of transient lifestyle. Has sex for the first time and gets pregnant with me at 16-17, my dad at the time being 25. Their relationship was horrible, both had extensive trauma histories, both were very abusive to one another. They got divorced before my first birthday, and because of their neglect I was raised by my grandparents. My dad eventually had his eyes opened when my brother nearly died, and started being an adult, and working on himself. My mother never really left that dark place, she's trying though, but I will never turn my back on her. And she recently (couple months ago) got out of this horrifying relationship... I was so proud of her, but also angry? He almost killed her twice, and stayed with him even after he physically assaulted the only man that's ever been there for her/ supported her/ selflessly loved her and cared for her (my former step dad). And every time she'd stay I'd tell her I loved her more, I'd call everyday, I would listen to all of the terrible things this man would say and do to her; knowing that I could not be honest, or say that she needs to leave or that the dynamic is toxic. So I'd just tell her I love her and that there is nothing in this world that could make me stop loving her, she's my mum-but really i'm her mum. And so you saying that me waiting out these moments until she's ready... is SO extremely validating, I didn't know I needed to hear that. It brought me to hysterically crying... I've been trying to write this for 3 hrs, and just, thank you.

As mentioned in the video, he literally admitted to fantasizing about murdering her, for one. I hope truly Evan continues to heal and I hope he stops hurting people one day.

Watching this and the comments beneath it, is making it very obvious to survivors who are strong after actually getting out of such an ordeal, that flying monkeys are real and will never cease to exist. Most people have not experienced what a grooming feels like to the victim, how long it takes to see it as such, and after the whole phase of collapse and submittal to the abuse, to realize it's wrong and you deserve a better life than this. Nobody is allowed to treat you like that. YOU have to understand that you need to be the one to make that move to get out. And that it needs to be final, so you can't go back when you start missing them... So many of these people commenting... HAVE NO CLUE.... and if you are very lucky - or for that matter, completely uninteresting to narcissists, then think yourself lucky and stop accusing people you do not know of things they most likely HAVE NOT DONE ! STOP VICTIM BLAMING! YOU ALL ARE FREE AND HAVE NO CLUE! SHUT UP! Be happy that YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOURSELF! AND I have every single track Manson has EVERY made. So there. You can be a fan and see a negative side to someone. It just means I am not going to see him in concert anymore. Most likely. And if i ever win backstage passes, i am giving them away. But I see Evan Rachel Wood. And you may all think because she appears to be strong, that this all is made up and fake? Narcissists are the ones believed. OF COURSE! No normal person needs to manage their Narrative like they do! OR do you 24/7 work on relationship management and gaslight people to get them to do your bidding? OF COURSE YOU DON'T! No normal person can expect this or keep up with it once they discover it, NOR DO THEY WANT TO! It takes SUPER HUMAN STRENGTH... and actually being able to see your own worth, to take action and get out. ITS THE HARDEST THING YOU WILL EVER HAVE TO DO. in most peoples lives.... A lot of people reading this, are in abusive relationships. And you negative commenters are just leaving a blurb about a thought you had there for a second... flippant, incorrect and judgy AF. You go away and forget that you wrote it. A survivor of / or someone even currently experiencing abuse will come and read this and feel awful. If you are alone and you feel put down by the commenters saying she's lying. And you identify with that she is saying - it fits your experience in enough points to feel valid - DO NOT LET THE NEGATIVITY GET TO YOU! YOUR EXPERIENCE IS VALID AND YOU DID NOT ASK TO BE ABUSED! I have been following Dr. Ramani for a few years now. I would have to go and see but I have seen most of her videos. She knows. She understands. It's thanks to her, that I have come as far as I have. And I'm not yet out. YOU can get out too! Don't let the abuser change you and make you think you don't exist. That's what they want! Do not let them win. If you want to get out. YOU CAN GET OUT!

Grey rock isn’t meant to be a permanent solution to stay w/ the narc nor is it meant to make them change or “see the light”. Abusers/narcs will do what they do… Grey rock is meant as a temporary technique to keep the damage minimal as you make your escape and to help victims practice not getting baited into the drama cycles & cultivating emotional distance & strength.

It was & still is painful to look at pictures of myself before the narcissistic abuse. Being is “trouble” and being “punished “ is sadly true. There’s no exaggeration & it’s hard to understand and comprehend to those that have never experienced it.

When Rose McGowan exposed Harvey Weinstein and all the child actors started coming out about their abuse that was the real me too and those stories were covered up by fake metoo money hungry grubbers like Evans Girlfriend whose brainwashed. She had many many years to mention something. It's funny how all of Marilyn's actual girlfriends who he had known long term relationships with said the exact opposite of him one which was Rose McGowan herself which is kind of odd, almost like Evan may have been working for Harvey to get the spotlight off of him?

This was such a great interview. I've admired Evan as an actress ever since I saw True Blood. She's very talented. I was a long-time fan of Marilyn Manson ever since I heard about him and the Spooky Kids, and I, along with many others, believed he was just a misunderstood artist and that these allegations must have just been BDSM gone wrong, or something. But, I continued doing research, and the first time I heard Evan speak about this in Phoenix Rising, I knew she was telling the truth. I realized I was just another kid who fell for that fabricated persona he created... just like she did. I'm 37 now and have been in abusive relationships since I was only 14. I've been single for a while now and I've recently realized my growth has been severely stunted. I've somehow made up for that in spiritual growth, but I know it's time to find a really good trauma therapist and begin my (probably decades long and six or seven figure) process of healing. Maybe one day I'll be OK enough to be in a good relationship that isn't abusive. Seeing Evan speak about this really gives me hope that I'll be able to find the healing I need too. Everything you two spoke about in this episode sounded like all of my past relationships. Thank you for sharing this.

She deals in the plural often - why is that

My 2 guiding stars when it comes to narcissistic abuse knowledge in the same interview? Yes please. I've been a huge huge fan of Westworld since ep 1 and started learning about npd from Evan's insta posts. In 2020 i discovered Dr. Ramani on youtube and all of that knowledge has made me so so much more self aware and vigilant, as someone who comes from a line of narcissists, who has identified some npd traits in myself, and who was surrounded by people enabling my bad behavior most of my life, i really do feel like those videos helped me take my personal life in a completely different direction (that one video FOR narcissists was actually extremely useful and i keep notes from it on my phone that i will look at whenever i feel like i might be doing/saying something that could hurt the people i love) Thank you both!

One of those stars of yours is a black hole. Please, do a little research on this case other than just watching Evan Rachel Wood put on a performance. People deserve to see the other side of the curtain. If you choose not to, that's fine, but you can't go on blind faith. She's been caught in too many lies, and once this case goes to trial I do believe empaths like yourself are going to be sick when you realize what these women are up to. Just look at the case that recently got settled. Jane Doe (aka Chloe Black) wanted to keep Manson from even being able to testify! And now that she's settled, she doesn't want to have to testify in the Manson/Wood trial. These women wanted a trial via kangaroo Court, and now that's its getting real they want out. That's not the kind of 'activist' whose fighting for abuse victims. Also, that Phoenix Act? She did that for herself. Not for you. Not for anyone. For fame. Evan Rachel Wood is a textbook narcissist.

Hey Dr. R! Where are you? Just wondering if all is OK ❤

The smear campaign resonates with me. Narcissistic abuse is such an insidious and long term breakdown game for them. Narcissists LOVE to break you down over time to make themselves feel better and more powerful. These are dangerous ppl who disguise themselves for years that they actually love you but behind closed doors, look out! I SO relate to what they said about fighting with you the minute ppl leave the house or especially in the car!!! How many times did I try to jump out of a moving vehicle because he went psycho. Then they will tell someone you are crazy for trying to jump out of a vehicle with ZERO acknowledgement they were in a rage and caused it! Ppl who have experienced narcissism can relate exactly to what other victims have gone through. When she spoke of bringing water in the wrong cups and getting punished for it later, it brought me right back to when my Ex spent an hour raging at me for not finishing a cup of coffee!!!! For making a pot of coffee and not "needing" an entire pot of coffee! This is the kind of insanity I'm talking about. And why victims say anything would set them off and you start to question your own sanity because the things they get so mad about seem so petty. The insecurity, the competition, the resentment, all of the things you see almost on a daily basis. Then when you pull back, the Love Bombing starts!

I am a DV and SA victim, and I believed her and the other women at first. Because we don't question someone's abuse we believe and support them. But I read court documents, interviews with other people, saw she lied about weird things to sensationalize the situation. (Like harping on being underage constantly but never was she underage. Or her acting like she didn't know he had a huge drug problem, but there's evidence and interviews proving she was also a big cocaine addict. But she also says she wasn't that either.) . I saw where her and several girls said they didn't know each other but in fact they did, their stories not matching, if one girl says one thing, sometimes it can't be true with one of the others. It's a huge mess. A woman coming out saying she was manipulated and she lied, the faked FBI letter, the whole custody thing, there is way to much the ignore. She has said she has "mountains of evidence" . We didn't see any in the doc or in any court records. Where is it? i believe she may regret some stuff she did with him and now she feels guilt or ashamed over it. I believe he has an image that makes him a good target. I believe a mother will go to any lengths to keep her child. I also believe an actress will go to great lengths to change what people think of her and to gain praise and attention. This situation is much more complex than people think and more people need to read more than just awful rolling stone.

DECLARATION OF ASHLEY LINDSAY MORGAN SMITHLINE I, Ashley Lindsay Morgan Smithline, declares as follows: 1. In November2010, I had a brief, consensual sexual relationship with Brian Warner, also known as Marilyn Manson, during a trip I took to Los Angeles from Thailand, where I was living. 2. Ten years later, I succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against Mr. Warner that were not true. 3. In 2020, I was contacted by either Ashley Walters or Illma Gore to participate in a group meeting of women who, they said, had relationships or experiences with Mr. Warner. (I knew Ms. Walters from my trip to Los Angeles in 2010. She was Mr. Warner’s assistant, and she arranged my travel. I also spent time with her during the trip.) Ultimately, I participated in at least one such group call and a meeting that was filmed in October 2020 (which I only later learned was for Phoenix Rising). From this time in 2020 through June 2021, I had many communications with Ms. Wood. 4. During my conversations with Ms. Wood, she described acts allegedly committed by Mr. Warner against Ms. Wood and other supposed victims and asked me whether the same things happened to me. I remember she asked me whether I had been, among other things, whipped, chained, tied up, branded/cut, assaulted while sleeping, beaten, or raped. She said all of these things happened to Ms. Wood and others, and that when Ms. Wood was with Mr. Warner every moment was a moment of survival. When I said, no this did not happen to me and this was not my experience, I recall being told by Ms. Wood that just because I could not remember did not necessarily mean that it did not happen. 5. While at first I knew Mr. Warner did not do these things to me, I eventually I began to question whether he actually did. On numerous occasions, I was told by Ms. Wood, Esme Bianco and others that these things happened to Ms. Wood and Ms. Bianco; asked whether the same things happened to me; and told that I may just be misremembering what happened, repressing my memories of what happened, or that my memories had not yet surfaced-which they said happened to people against whom these acts were perpetrated. I was asked whether I was repressing memories to just get through day-to-day life, and whether it was easier just to not think about what actually happened than accept reality. They also said it was important for people to come forward so that no one else gets hurt. 6. I also recall that in one of the group meetings I attended with Ms. Wood and Ms. Gore, Ms. Gore said they could arrange security for anyone who felt in danger from Mr. Warner. I recall that Ms. Bianco said during this discussion that private investigators had been parked outside of her house and probably were parked outside of mine. I also had separate conversations with Ms. Bianco during this time period in which she told me her relationship with Mr. Warner was similar to that described by Ms. Wood. She insisted that I was repressing memories like she and other supposed victims of Mr. Warner had done. 7. Eventually, I started to believe that what I was repeatedly told happened to Ms. Wood and Ms. Bianco also happened to me. 8. In or around January 2021, I attended a call on which Ms. Wood said that on a certain day she would post to her social media naming Mr. Warner as her abuser, and that we all should do the same on or around the same day. I discussed with Ms. Gore making such a statement on my Instagram page accusing Mr. Warner of abuse. Ms. Gore drafted the statement, and I gave her my password to post it. The narrative ultimately posted to my account on or around February 1, 2021 contained untrue statements about Mr. Warner, including that there was violence and non-consensual sexual activity in our brief relationship, and that I had repressed memories of the same. As another example, there was no branding or cutting experienced during the brief relationship and certainly no “Marilyn Manson” initials carved on my body. 9. On June 29, 2021, a complaint was filed in the lawsuit Ashley Lindsay Morgan Smithline v. Brian Warner et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-5289. The complaint was filed by my attorney at the time, Jay Ellwanger. Ms. Bianco told me Mr. Ellwanger was her lawyer and that I should use him. Mr. Ellwanger did not review the contents of the complaint with me before filing it and did not send me a draft of the complaint to approve before filing it. The complaint contained untrue statements about Mr. Warner, including that there was violence and non-consensual sexual activity in our brief relationship, and that I had repressed memories of the same until meeting with Ms. Wood, Ms. Gore, and others in 2020. Leading up to the filing of the complaint, I felt pressured by Mr. Ellwanger to go on a press tour, which included an interview on The View and an interview and photoshoot with People magazine. I was very uncomfortable doing this press but felt pressured to do it. 10. After the lawsuit was filed on my behalf, I fired Mr. Ellwanger, and the case was dismissed. I never received any money from Mr. Warner and am not seeking any money from him. I have no intention of refiling any lawsuit against Mr. Warner. 11. I never intended to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Warner and have no intention now of ever pursuing criminal charges, as Mr. Warner did not ever assault or abuse me. 12. Looking back, I feel I was manipulated by Ms. Wood, Ms. Gore, Ms. Bianco, and Mr. Ellwanger to spread publicly false accusations of abuse against Mr. Warner. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on this 19th day of February 2023, at Los Angeles County, CA.

If you used the word flying monkeys you're doomed because you believe this narcissist of a woman.

The CAR! Yes! I never made that connection! It was horrific for me!

And Johnny D. and Brian are best buds. Would love to hear Evan's and Dr. Ramani's view on the Depp/Heard situation.

Dr Ramani, please do more research on EWD and histrionic personality disorder. A person with cPTSD from narcissistic abuse does not go on camera and coldly laugh right after saying she had been "raped".

Neither do they falsify fbi letters. For that alone rachel should have been prosecuted. Anyone who has done any actual research on this case knows rachel is a liar. Just ask her poor ex husband. The woman needs psychological help. She's just a slightly better actress than her friend amber. But if this case ever went to court the whole world would see her for the liar she is. Its a shame that in 2024 people still believe her stories

Yes ,I remember telling my ex narc that I felt like I wanted to kill myself,this was due to the way he had treatment of me ,the pain I was in.He just replied with ,don't be silly and go to work.

That's a logical fallacy called circular reasoning. No one thinks a true victim is lying. Some people think ERW is not a true victim. It's okay for people to disagree.

So, I think what Dr. Ramani is demonstrating here is how to be a narcissist's supply. She's giving the narcissist everything she wants.

You have helped thousands of survivors, perhaps millions as time goes on. You are the voice of sanity post-abuse.

I love this channel, and I'm learning so much about why I'm in the place im at in my life; I would have never thought it was abuse from a narc, and now I'm seeing how it works, and trying to speak up, as the flying monkeys/smear campaign has been more effective than I would have ever believed. I should have set the lies straight and now it feels too overwhelming. However, ERW is the narc. Please, dig deeper on this person; she assumes, correctly, unfortunately, that people will believe her over Brian Warner. The same happened to Johnny Depp. She is dangerous, and she absolutely used the me too movement and the public perception of M.Manson to effectively destroy his life. Anyone who jumps to her defense blindly, please remember - WOMAN CAN BE NARCISSISTIC ABUSERS TOO. Dont take my word for it - do your own research.

I love her for speaking out.

Because her activist girlfriend got into Evans head. It is a shame that she is still going on about this. Hopefully Marilyn will sue. Her and her activist girlfriend wanted money like all the other fake metoo types. Let's not forget who the real Metoo was, Rose McGowan who outed Harvey Weinstein and Harvey hired a foreign intelligence private firm to follow her around and everything and then many other victims of him came out and then all the former childhood stars came forward and it was amazing and then came the greedy and the liars and removed the spotlight from real Victims a few which were men too. A great moment in truth got covered up because people like Evan. We seen the twitter posts from her girlfriend and all the fake documents, how embarrassing they didn't do their research for this show. I still remember when she was with Marilyn who she says it was a cult leader name, well ma'am he's a musician so that's a stage name, they all have them. The whole believe all women trope came out at this time too and as a woman myself I'm here to say, NO. You do not believe all women because women lie too. You instead allow a judge and jury and the evidence to decide. That's how it's done

You can’t convince an abuser to let you go

Evan is a lie😂

The Phoenix Act is a direct stab at Manson, it is a reference to an interview he was doing that she was present through. It's a direct quote from him talking about how He was like a Phoenix rising from the ashes after Columbine. It took her so many years because she made it all up, there was no sexual assault. She and her ex Illma forged an FBI document saying that he had a case against him. People called him Manson OR Brian, he never asked people to ONLY call him Manson. She is the only one who has ever been in a relationship (besides those she and Illma recruited) with him, that has EVER said she was raped. Where she claims she was raped was on set in front of witnesses who speak against her entire claims. She didn't name her perpetrators because she just wanted to be part of the "me too" movement. One of the biggest people in the me to movement is Rose McGowan who was ALSO engaged to Manson/Brian. She's an actress who takes on fashion and personality traits of EVERY PERSON SHE'S DATED. She's such a fake. Sorry to say. I myself have been a victim of a step family member. All he ever did was adore her and talk wonderful things about her. She even use to argue that she was the more hard-core one and he was the vanilla one. She was rebelling agsinst her mother and what she had lived through so far. He would've done anything for her. Just go back and read /listen to interviews when they were dating and "in love." He also insisted she be the highest paid actress in a music video. Her trial and error has been how can I make this work. Also if you watch interviews you can see her lying. He threatened to go to someone's house? What a load of crap. She was young and rebelling against what she new. He encouraged her career a million over. Everyone who worked for him while they were together has talked about how awful she was. And the things he would say that people would question are the same things people always questioned. She had found if she left that information out and kept it vague she could sell it that way as this was my abuse! Lies.

"It took her so many years because she made it all up, there was no sexual assault." -Citation needed. He's had prior accounts of sexual assault, including 2 supported accounts of statutory rape. Adina Slotsky and his ex girlfriend Missy who was reportedly 17 when he started dating her at 23. "People called him Manson OR Brian, he never asked people to ONLY call him Manson." -Except for that journalist who's life he threatened for calling him Brian Warner back in the mid 90s. But sure. "She is the only one who has ever been in a relationship (besides those she and Illma recruited) with him, that has EVER said she was raped." -Jane Doe 2 reportedly never met Evan Rachel Wood before coming forward with her story. You can call her a side chick, but she was reportedly a groupie who joined the band for several tours between 1995 and 1999. Nancy, who he talks about in his book, was also in a relationship with Brian before the band went big, and she never reportedly met ERW. While Manson actually admits to being more abusive in his book than Nancy confirms in an interview, she does confirm having her life threatened, being manipulated and psychologically abused, and having to flee to her home to get away from Brian, out of fear for her safety. -Also, the only evidence we have that ERW and Gore were recruiting ex girlfriends comes from a testimony from Ashley Morgan Smithiline. It would hold more weight if ERW didn't then share three years worth of e-mails, direct messages, social media posts and even voice mail messages of Smithiline stating, (and this is from one of the voicemails) "I did get a private message on my cellular telephone from Marilyn Manson’s lawyer saying, `I was wondering if we could just talk... The only reason he’d be calling me… is that he thinks I’m the weak link and he might want to settle with me to turn on the other girls and say that it was all a ruse." -Also, it happens to be 14 women you're excluding from the conversation because ERW "recruited" them. That's actually a shit ton of exes. And we're talking about allegations from 17 women in total. "Where she claims she was raped was on set in front of witnesses who speak against her entire claims." -Fair enough, but we also have testimonies from people who have witnessed Manson's alleged abuse, such as Wes Borland and former personal assistant Dan Cleary who says, "Over the course of 1 year he turned her into a different person. He broke her. I didn't totally realize until later in life... He would threaten to kill her, cut her up, bury her, embarrass her to the world. Making her cry and fear him made him feel good. He would remind her that she’d be homeless without him and make fun of her learning disabled family member. Everyone in his immediate circle knows this. But everyone (including myself) is afraid to say anything because of “the code”. It's frowned upon to tell people’s private business..." He goes onto say Manson was actually kind to him personally, but he feels like he needs to speak up despite the fact he has nothing to gain from it, which he doesn't. "One of the biggest people in the me too movement is Rose McGowan who was ALSO engaged to Manson/Brian" -Barely relevant. Also, Manson has made a career out of utilizing rumours of his own creation. If you have several different stories coming from several different people, the real and fake begin to blend, and most people will never do the research to find out what's true and what's not. Similarly, he needs people who can give positive accounts of the person he is, so he can hide the negative things he does. With all kinds of different stories floating around, people believe what they want to believe. But the important thing to remember when it comes to Manson, is that he's a proven pathological liar. So, other people's stories hold more weight by default. "All he ever did was adore her and talk wonderful things about her." - In public, possibly to hide his abuse. He also admitted to emotionally abusing her during their first break up in a 2009 interview with Spin. "Every time I called her that day - I called 158 times - I took a razorblade and I cut myself on my face or on my hands... . I wanted to show her the pain she put me through. It was like, “I want you to physically see what you’ve done.” Manson would also admit the terrible song "I Wanna Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" was about fantasies he had of killing Evan Rachel Wood. "I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer." With this information, the song can be construed as a threat. "She even use to argue that she was the more hard-core one and he was the vanilla one. She was rebelling agsinst her mother and what she had lived through so far." -If you look at who Evan Rachel Wood was at 18, she actually fits the profile for cult recruitment very well, which is reportedly how the Manson camp operates. (It's important to note, Manson writes in his book how he identified with Charles Manson, the cult leader, and would go on to call him a "political prisoner.") She had a distrust for the mainstream, represented in her alternative and provocative style of dress, including Lolita glasses. She was feeling spiritually unfulfilled, which is why she wanted to break away from her family and personal relationships to tour with a rich rock star. She felt uncertain, having just been thrust into the strange world of stardom, and lonely, having less time for personal friends who weren't within the Hollywood system. In contrast, Manson fits the symptoms of Narcissist and Sociopath. But this is response is long enough, so I'm just gonna move on to the next point. "He also insisted she be the highest paid actress in a music video." -A narcissist who'se only mean to their victim is not gonna get anywhere as far as control goes. They use a hot-cold system so that they can abuse their victim, but still make the victim want to believe they're appreciated. "He threatened to go to someone's house? What a load of crap." -He threatened to burn down Nancy's house. He also threatened to come to Travis Keller's house and kill him. He also put a gun in the mouth of former Spin editor Craig Marks. Both Manson and Marks admit this happened. Sorry to info dump, but there was a lot to respond to. I'm currently researching for a video on all of this, which is why there's so much information included. EDIT: Sorry, missed the point about the supposedly fake FBI letter. There is no available evidence that letter is fake. That was an allegation from Manson's legal team that people reported as fact without evidence. My opinion, the goal is to cloak the truth in a web of rumours.

Great interview but is it just me or did you feel the edits in some of Evan's answers?? Watch her reply about being called crazy.

Oh, Evan is insidious... Ashley Smithline accused Evan Rachel Wood of manipulating her into disseminating false information about Marilyn Manson. Ashley now firmly maintains Manson's innocence. Evidence suggests that Evan went as far as fabricating an FBI letter. Additionally, Evan is alleged to have unlawfully kidnapped her own son from his father, Jamie Bell. She later "voluntarily" relinquished almost full custody to Jamie (she lost custody).
