The Real Inspiration Behind Chløë Black's Song About Marilyn Manson

An Important Timeline On January 29, 2021, singer and songwriter Chløë Black officially released a new song called "Title Track". That day she shared the following message on social media: "This is the most personal and emotionally raw song I’ve shared. I can’t tell you how many times I was told that I shouldn’t write about my most painful experiences and sexual assault is ‘too dark’ a topic to discuss. I also was told innumerable times in the past not to sing bi-lingually.

Ashley Walters v. Marilyn Manson (Part One - It All Begins With a Movement and a List)

    On March 11th 2019, Evan Rachel Wood and Esme Bianco launched the #IAmNotOK movement on social media, reminiscent of the #MeToo phenomenon from more than a year prior, to bring wide awareness to the upcoming decision on the Phoenix Act in California. The Phoenix Act was passed unanimously in the state of California a month later in April 2019 and it was passed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on January 1, 2020. The hashtag was advertised as something to share on social media for people to be more vocal about the domestic violence they suffered. It's name stems from Evan's post in November 2016 on Twitter, when she first shared her rape stories in a letter to Rolling Stone , and included the hashtag #NotOk. Over the next few days in mid-March 2019, other women would share their story, including some celebrities recruited by Evan and Esme, using the hashtag #IAmNotOK.
