In a recent podcast interview about narcissistic abuse, Evan Rachel Wood said that Marilyn Manson described in his autobiography how the Brian Warner part of him was dead and whatever he had become was now his true self. Her purpose was to show that Manson completely abandoned his humanity and truly came to embody a disassociated narcissistic monster. But is this what his autobiography actually said or even implied? No, of course not. He says something along those lines, but she completely twists it to make a point that fits her narrative rather than the actual facts.

And there’s way more to the story that I know that you don’t. So, your parasocialness is showing and it’s an embarrasment to women alike. Because all you’re doing is perpetuating this nonsensical idea that ‘men bad, women need to be saved.' You’re the one that made Marilyn Manson. You made Marilyn Manson famous in America. You guys created him and then you try to destroy him.”
