Evan Rachel Wood has said she was forced to file a police report last year after allegedly learning that Marilyn Manson’s wife Lindsay Usich was ‘conspiring’ to release photos of her when she was ‘underage’ to ‘ruin my career’ and ‘shut me up’, as she posted one of the pictures herself.
Hollywood actor Wood, 33, shared a photo of the police report and what she said was one of the pictures Usich was seeking, showing Wood in Manson’s stage hat and an Adolf Hitler-style mustache drawn on her face.
She also shared screengrabs of an online chat discussing someone named ‘Lindsay’ asking for ‘pictures of Evan doing things that would ruin her career.’
Wood posted the latest accusations on her Instagram story Saturday just days after she first broke her silence to name Manson, 52, as her alleged abuser who she said ‘horrifically abused me for years.’
On Friday, she posted fresh claims that Manson hurled anti-Semitic abuse at her, has three Nazi tattoos and drew swastikas on her bedside table ‘when he was mad’ during their relationship.
Wood is one of at least 11 women who have come forward this week to accuse the rock star of physical and sexual abuse dating back several years.
The allegations vary but include incidents involving physical violence, sleep deprivation, being plied with drugs, forced into drug pacts and one woman having a gun held to her head.
Senators Kevin S. Parker and Susan Rubio have both called for full investigations while Manson has denied all the allegations as ‘distortions of reality’.
Industry insiders have sought to distance themselves from the controversial rocker with his record label, talent agency and long-time manager Tony Ciulla all dropping him this week.
Police were called out to Manson’s Hollywood Hills home Wednesday night to carry out a ‘welfare check’ after a concerned friend was unable to get in touch with him as new allegations continued to surface against him.

Wood shared what she said were some of the photos in question including one of her and Manson together, with Wood wearing his hat and the drawn-on Adolf Hitler-style mustache. She wrote that this was ‘part of the humiliation and blackmail’ she endured
Lindsay Usich and Marilyn Manson in January 2020. The couple wed last year after an on-off relationship since 2012
Westworld star Wood, who started dating Manson in 2007 before they split in 2010, wrote on her Instagram story Saturday that she filed a police report on December 19 after learning of an apparent ‘threat’ in relation to Manson’s wife.
She claimed Usich was trying to get her hands on compromising photos of Wood taken after Manson performed a show in Las Vegas.
Wood alleged Usich, a 36-year-old artist who wed Manson last year, wanted the photos to silence her.
‘On Dec 19th, I had to file a police report after I was alerted to threats made by @leslee_lane and @lindsayusichofficial (Brian’s Wife) for conspiring to release photos of me when I was UNDERAGE, after being given large amounts of drugs and alcohol, after Brian performed on Halloween in Las Vegas to “‘Ruin my career” and “Shut me up,”‘ Wood wrote.
The actor said a conversation about the photos ‘took place on a discord channel’ and she shared screengrabs of a chat between two accounts on the app.
The conversation takes place between two users called Born Villain – the name of one of Manson’s albums – and Clownfish.
It begins with Born Villain saying she is ‘not happy’ because ‘Lindsay’ is ‘trying to get my photos.’
‘I just am not happy especially today because of the conversation I had with Lindsay. She is trying to get my photos. I know why. I just feel used,’ they write.

Clownfish asks what they ‘mean[s] by that’ and questions what ‘the issue is.’
Born Villain writes that they ‘could bury her career in one minute’ before later clarifying ‘pictures of Evan doing things that would ruin her career’.
‘Yes, my personal camera took pictures of Evan and everyone. I haven’t shared them with anyone until Lindsay say Evan in the background of one I sent of MM and myself. Now she wants more of this to use to shut her up,’ Born Villain writes.
Wood shared what she said were some of the photos in question including one of her and Manson together, with Wood wearing his hat and the drawn-on mustache.
She wrote that this was ‘part of the humiliation and blackmail’ she endured.
‘Here is one of the photos. I am wearing Brian’s hat which has long been a part of his stage show and photographed on many people in his camp. This is a part of the humiliation and blackmail,’ she wrote alongside the photo.
‘I stayed in Brian’s hotel room most of the night, as I was not old enough to enter the casino after the concert. Multiple people were drawing on my face and the faces of others.’
In another photo she is also wearing the hat but with a cat nose and whiskers drawn on her face.
Wood also shared a screengrab of what she said was the police report filed over the incident. It is dated December 19 2020.

Wood also shared a photo of Manson in the same hat. Wood posted the latest accusations on her Instagram story Saturday just days after she first broke her silence to name Manson, 52, as her alleged abuser
There is no suggestion in Wood’s post that any photos were handed over to Usich.
Usich and Manson have been in an on-off relationship since 2012 before they married last year.
Usich has stayed silent on the allegations that surfaced against her husband this week. DailyMail.com has reached out to her for comment on Wood’s claims against her.
Wood was among the first to publicly accuse Manson of abuse in an Instagram post Monday where she claimed he starting ‘grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years’.
Since then, at least 11 women have come forward accusing the rocker of physical and sexual abuse dating back several years.
Wood shared more details of the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of the rock star on her Instagram story Friday.
She claimed Manson, real name Brian Hugh Warner, would use the ‘N-word’, called her ‘a ‘Jew’ in a ‘derogatory manner’ and told her it was ‘better’ that her mother had converted to Judaism and did not have Jewish descent because it meant she wasn’t ‘blood Jewish’.
Wood posted photos of two tattoos on Manson’s arms and another on his chest which she said are Nazi symbols, just days after another alleged victim claimed the 52-year-old rocker once asked her to buy him Nazi paraphernalia.
Wood also denied she and Manson were just having ‘kinky sex’ when he ‘tortured’ her saying they ‘never had a ‘BDSM’ relationship’ and that she ‘thought [she] was going to die.’

Wood said Friday Manson made derogatory comments about her Jewish heritage on top of the ‘grooming’ and ‘horrific abuse’ she previously said she endured.
‘I was called a ‘jew’ in a derogatory manner,’ she wrote in an Instagram Story.
‘He would draw swastikas over my bedside table when he was mad at me.’
Wood explained that her mom is Jewish and she was raised in the religion.
‘Because she converted and wasn’t of Jewish descent he would say things like, ‘that’s better’ because I wasn’t ‘blood Jewish,” she said.
The actor also shared photos of two tattoos on Manson’s arms and another on his chest which she said are Nazi symbols.
Wood circled the tattoos on his arms and shared a screen grab from an article of a similar-looking skull-and-crossbones adopted by the Nazis.
‘Totenkopf is German for ‘death’s head’ and typically refers to a skull-and-crossbones image,’ it reads.
‘During the Nazi era, Hitler’s Schutzstaffel (SS) adopted one particular Totenkopf image as a symbol.
‘Among other uses, it became the symbol of the SS-Totenkopfverbande (one of the original three branches of the SS, along with the Algemeine SS and the Waffen SS), whose purpose was to guard the concentration camps.’
Wood shared another image of a tattoo on Manson’s chest and a screengrab from community site Manson Wiki that claims the image is an M-swastika.
‘He did not have these tattoos when we started dating,’ Wood wrote.
One of Manson’s other accusers, Ashley Lindsay Morgan, claimed this week he had once asked her to buy Nazi memorabilia for him in Asia and bring it to the US.

She claimed Manson, real name Brian Hugh Warner, called her ‘a ‘Jew’ in a derogatory manner’
As well as the anti-Semitism and Nazi symbolism, Wood also claimed Friday Manson would often say the N-word and that, if anyone tried to confront him about it, they would be ‘abused more.’
‘I heard the ‘n’ word over and over,’ she wrote.
‘Everyone around him was expected to laugh and join in. If you did not or (god forbid) called him out, you were singled out and abused more.’
Wood said she had ‘never been so scared in my life.’
The actor, who met the rock star when she was just 18, hit out at suggestions the abuse was just ‘kinky sex’.
‘Brian and I never had a ‘BDSM’ relationship,’ she said in a now-deleted Instagram story.
‘We didn’t even have ‘kinky’ sex. We weren’t having sexual intercourse when I was being tortured, before or after.’
She added: ‘I thought I was going to die the entire time.’
Wood also shared footage from her testimony before the US Congress and California Senate in 2018 where she spoke about her experience with domestic violence and rape as part of a campaign to advocate for Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Acts in all 50 states.

Wood added in another Instagram story that Manson ‘did not have these tattoos when we started dating’
She also shared posts from Manson’s other alleged victims, news stories documenting the claims, and an article responding to the questions being leveled at the women who have come forward.
Wood first named her alleged abuser on social media Monday.
‘The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years,’ she wrote in a social media post.
‘I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail.
‘I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives.
‘I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent.’
She also posted screenshots of tweets written by Dan Cleary – Manson’s former assistant in December 2020.
He said in them that he knew Wood when she was with Manson and that by the end of their relationship, he had ‘broken’ her.
In a 2009 interview with Spin, Manson made disturbing remarks about wanting to ‘smash’ Wood’s skull in.
He was being asked about his new album and was asked: ‘It sounds like the period after you and Evan Rachel Wood broke up was really tough. What was your lowest point?’
He replied: ‘My lowest point was Christmas Day 2008, because I didn’t speak to my family. My walls were covered in scrawlings of the lyrics and cocaine bags nailed to the wall.
She also denied they were just having ‘kinky sex’ when he ‘tortured’ her saying they ‘never had a ‘BDSM’ relationship’ and that she ‘thought [she] was going to die’
‘And I did have an experience where I was struggling to deal with being alone and being forsaken and being betrayed by putting your trust in one person, and making the mistake of that being the wrong person.
‘And that’s a mistake that everyone can relate to. I made the mistake of trying to, desperately, grasp on and save that and own it. And every time I called her that day — I called 158 times — I took a razor blade and I cut myself on my face or on my hands.
‘I didn’t want people to ask me every time I did an interview, “Oh, is this record about your relationship with your ex-girlfriend?” But that damage is part of it, and the song “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in The Movies” is about my fantasies.
‘I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer.’ The interviewer replied: ‘Wow’. He replied: ‘Merry Christmas’.
Manson and Wood got engaged after the interview and did not break up for another year after it took place.
When the comments resurfaced in November 2020, Manson’s reps downplayed them as him being a ‘theatrical rockstar’.
‘The comments where Manson had a fantasy of using a sledgehammer on Evan and he cut himself 158 times was obviously a theatrical rockstar interview promoting a new record, and not a factual account,’ they said.
‘The fact that Evan and Manson got engaged six months after this interview would indicate that no one took this story literally.’
Wood, now 33, was engaged to Manson for eight months in 2010.
In 2018, she testified before Congress as part of a campaign for domestic violence victims about being tied up, raped and beaten by a partner when she was a teenager.
At least 11 women have now come forward to accuse him of abuse dating back years
She did not name her abuser at the time but said she had been told she could not take it to police because the statute of limitations had expired.
‘My experience with domestic violence was this: Toxic mental, physical and sexual abuse which started slow but escalated over time, including threats against my life, severe gas-lighting and brainwashing, waking up to the man that claimed to love me raping what he believed to be my unconscious body,’ she said.
Wood was one of five women who made coordinated statements on Instagram Monday about how Manson allegedly abused them.
They are Wood, an artist known only as Gabriella; photographer Ashley Walters; model Sarah McNeilly; and model Ashley Lindsay Morgan.
They claimed they had been victims of sexual misconduct, manipulation, and physical and emotional abuse at Manson’s hands.
The women’s allegations vary but all say Manson left them with PTSD after forcing them into blood pacts, plying them with drugs, becoming violent with them and gaslighting them.
Artist Gabriella claimed she dated Marilyn Manson for six months between 2015 and 2016 and that he drove her to attempt suicide after tying her up, depriving her of sleep and plying her with drugs during their relationship which began when she was 22 and he was 46.
She shared photographs of herself with Manson and texts she says he sent her to add validity to her story.
On Monday night, another three women made allegations on social media that Wood re-posted on her account. They did not go into detail about their relationships with Manson but all three said he was an abuser.

Those women are Scarlett Kapella, Brittany Leigh, and Torii Lynn.
On Tuesday, four more women made allegations against the rocker.
Visual filmmaker Love Bailey claimed Manson once held a gun to her forehead.
In an Instagram video she claimed that Manson told her he didn’t ‘like f*****s’ as he held the weapon to her head while she was working at a shoot in his home in 2011.
Musician Chloe Black spoke out on Instagram to allege Manson deprived her of sleep, made racist and anti-Semitic comments and that she once ‘thought he was actually going to kill me.’
Artist and writer Louise Keay Bell claimed Manson ’emotionally and financially abused me and tried to control me’ from the age of 19.
Actor Charlyne Yi also alleged Manson harassed her and other women on the set of the TV series House and said when she spoke out about the abuse three years ago she had received death threats.
Former porn star Jenna Jameson told DailyMail.com this week that Manson fantasized about burning her alive and ‘liked to bite’ during sex when they dated back in 1997.
On Thursday, Indie star Phoebe Bridgers said she ‘stand[s] by’ Manson’s alleged victims as she recalled a time she visited Manson’s home as a teenager and the 52-year-old rock star showed her a room he described as his ‘rape room’.
She slammed people now ‘pretending to be shocked’ about the abuse allegations as ‘f**ing pathetic’.
Manson has denied all the claims since they started surfacing.
He said in a statement Monday: ‘Obviously, my life and my art have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality.
‘My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.’
Comments were turned off the post, but it was liked by Manson’s wife, Lindsay Usich. She has not released her own statement.
Manson’s ex-wife Von Teese addressed the allegations leveled at Manson in a statement on Instagram Wednesday.
In it, the 48-year-old burlesque star said she had been ‘processing the news’ about her ex, who she dated for six years before they tied the knot in 2005.

On Monday night, Scarlette Kapella (pictured left) and Torii Lynn (pictured right) both also said they too had been victims of abuse by Manson
Von Teese insisted the experiences detailed by Manson’s alleged victims ‘do not match’ her own experience with the rock star.
‘Please know that the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple,’ she wrote.
‘Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005.’
She said she left Manson and filed for divorce 12 months after they wed ‘due to infidelity and drug abuse.’
While Von Teese said she had not been abused by Manson during their time together, she wished ‘strength’ on the women who had come forward.
‘Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship. I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal and the strength to fully realize yourself,’ she wrote.
Von Teese said she also appreciated the ‘kindness’ of people who voiced concern for her ‘well-being’ following the news this week.
Rose McGowan, one of Manson’s former girlfriends, also said in a statement that while he was never abusive to her, she ‘stands with’ the accusers on Monday.
Manson has since been dropped by his record label, Loma Vista Records, talent agency CAA and he has been edited out of American Gods and Creepshow, two shows he was taking part in.
On Friday, Tony Ciulla, his manager of more than two decades also distanced himself.
Ciulla, who hasn’t commented on the abuse allegations against his client, dropped Manson after Woods publicly named him on social media earlier this week, a source told Rolling Stone.
There are now also questions around how the allegations came to the surface.
California State Senator Susan Rubio wrote to the FBI and the Justice Department demanding an investigation into Manson on January 21 – a week before the claims became public.
No investigation has been launched and Manson has never been arrested for any of the women’s allegations.
LAPD cops were called to Manson’s Hollywood Hills home over concerns for his safety Wednesday night amid the growing number of allegations against him.
Four police cruisers and an LAPD helicopter were dispatched to Manson’s home around 6.00pm to perform a ‘welfare check’ on the 52-year-old after a concerned friend couldn’t get in touch with him, reported TMZ.
An LAPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com officers from the North Hollywood division responded to a call for a welfare check at a home on the 3400 block of Troy Drive, Studio City, around 6.00pm Wednesday.
Police later told DailyMail.com they were able to make contact with someone and found there was ‘no evidence of any trouble whatsoever’ at the property.
