Marilyn Manson Uncanceled

A Few Words on Cancel Culture For most of human history, shunning, excommunication, and public humiliation have been used for social conformity. The modern versions are generally categorized as “calling-out” or “canceling.” While the first use of these terms is not certain, sometime in the early 2010s, "fans" of various celebrities and groups began to post on social media, identifying imperfections in their "idols" and “calling them out” on their behaviors. During 2017 and 2018, online posts calling out others drastically increased and were part of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements. By 2019, the term "cancel culture" became more known and moved into mainstream media usage. Cancel culture has been considered acceptable by some people in some cases because it seemed to provide a way for marginalized individuals and groups to silence someone they deemed hurtful. As a result, powerful individuals or groups that would otherwise evade responsibility for...

October 3 - Evan Rachel Wood Appears on Two Episodes of the Podcast "A Little Bit Culty" Ever since Evan Rachel Wood appeared in the premier episode of season five on the podcast A Little Bit Culty on October 3rd, and when the second season of The Vow premiered on HBO on October 17th, which is a documentary series that chronicles the escape of the podcast hosts from NXIVM, which they describe as a cult, Evan has not only been fan-girling the hosts, but she has revealed how their documentary series was instrumental in her moving forward with her own documentary, Phoenix Rising , emphasizing what she describes as similar cult-like experiences while she was with Marilyn Manson.

In Evan Rachel Wood's documentary Phoenix Rising , she made a new shocking accusation that Marilyn Manson would drug her, repeatedly rape her in her sleep, and forbade her to use any sort of birth control, which resulted in her getting pregnant and having an abortion. She says that he flew in to New York where she was filming Mildred Pierce to be there for the abortion, but he was far from caring or supportive.    "He flew out for the abortion. The second it was over it was like, 'Make me dinner.' And I remember being like, 'I’m supposed to be resting — my body has gone through this trauma ... there’s aftermath here.' And he didn’t care." When it was revealed that Manson apparently forced Evan to cook him dinner immediately after her abortion, the media focused on that detail like a hawk in their headlines: Evan Rachel Wood Says Marilyn Manson Made Her Cook Him Dinner Immediately After Losing Baby ( Radar Online )  Evan Rachel Wood: Marilyn Manson made me...

      Evan Rachel Wood first spoke out as a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault in 2016, without naming who her two rapists were. In 2017 she became more and more of a voice for women who had suffered domestic abuse and sexual assault. It was in 2018 that she gained widespread attention when she spoke about her abuse before congress, though she still refused to name who her rapists were, but this would be the last time we would hear about her second rapist that was allegedly the owner of a bar. It was after this that Evan and her girlfriend Illma Gore along with actress Esme Bianco began work on the Phoenix Act, to increase the statute of limitations in California for victims of domestic violence. It was on April 23rd of 2019 that Evan Rachel Wood testified before the California senate on behalf of the Phoenix Act, and for the first time she would describe her abuser as one who showed all the signs of a cult leader. The Phoenix Act was passed by the Senate on Ma...
