Evan Rachel Wood denies pressuring woman into assault claims against Marilyn Manson

Allegations come amid defamation lawsuit against Wood by Manson, but cannot be included as evidence

US actor Evan Rachel Wood has denied pressuring a woman into making sexual assault allegations against rock star Marilyn Manson.

In February 2021, Wood and four other women claimed that Manson, real name Brian Warner, had subjected them to various forms of abuse: sexual, physical and emotional, including attacks characterised as torture.
