Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife Dita Von Teese speaks out.
The rock star has been at the center of the scandal lately after being accused of abusive behavior by several women, including actress Evan Rachel Wood.
Following Wood’s public allegations – in which she said she was “horribly abused” by Manson, at least four other women came forward with similar accusations. Manson denied the allegations.
Now Von Teese, 48, has issued a statement of her own via Instagram, saying her ‘personal experience’ with Manson, 52, was different. The former couple dated for six years before breaking the deadlock in 2005. Von Teese finally filed for divorce a year later.

“Please know that the details disclosed do not match my personal experience during our 7-year-old couple,” the artist explained. “If they did, I would not have married him in December 2005.”
She further explained that after a year of marriage, she left the relationship “due to infidelity and drug use.”
“Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship,” the dancer added. “I appeal to those of you who have been abused to take steps to heal and the power to fully realize yourself.”
