Marilyn Manson has been removed from two television shows after actress Evan Rachel Wood and four other women emerged on Monday with the abuse of the rocker.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, issued a statement Monday denying the allegations, citing Woods’ allegations of sexual and physical abuse against him as “horrific distortion.”
Starz announced Monday that he is “unequivocally” standing with all victims and survivors of abuse, and therefore he has removed the upcoming episode of his series “American Gods” with Manson.
“Due to the allegations against Marilyn Manson, we have decided to remove his actions from the remaining episode in which he is, which will be broadcast later this season,” the network confirmed in the verified Twitter account of the TV show.

“The Beautiful People” musician issued a denial on his own Instagram.
“Obviously my art and my life have been magnets for controversy all along, but these recent allegations about me are terrible distortions of reality,” he said. “My intimate relationships have always been completely one-sided with like-minded partners.”
He concluded: “No matter how – and why – others now choose to misrepresent the past, it is the truth.”
After Wood shared her own allegations, at least four other women posted their own allegations against Manson in evidence of solidarity, Vanity Fair reported. The women allege that they endured ‘sexual assault, psychological abuse and / or various forms of coercion, violence and intimidation’. Manson has denied similar allegations in the past.
