Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, who was part of Marilyn Manson’s band between August 2008 and May 2009, spoke about the allegations of abuse directed at the singer.
Earlier this week, actress Evan Rachel Wood Manson publicly accused her of abusing her during their relationship in the late 2000s, claiming that the singer “cared” for her as a teenager before “abusing her” and has ‘brainwashing’.
Borland said of Manson on the Twitch channel Space Zebra Live: “He’s not a great guy. And everything people have said about him is fucking true. So relax about the allegations against the women. Like when people do this women say, get behind him now … fuck off, they’re telling the truth.
‘I’m sorry for everyone on this podcast who does not like this. But that man, he’s incredibly talented, but he’s fucked up and he needs to be kept in check, and he needs to get sober and he needs to deal with his demons.
“He’s a bad fucking guy, and I was there when he was with Evan Rachel Wood. I was at his house. It’s not fucking cool, and that’s all I’m going to say about it. So if anyone’s behind these girls come and go like, “Your blah blah blah blah blah, this and that,” fuck you! That’s all I’m going to say.
‘Sorry to take it to a dark place, but that guy is canceled. Goodbye, do not let the door hit you on the way out. ‘
Wood’s message prompted several other women to share similar allegations against Manson, which were subsequently dismissed by his record label, Loma Vista Recordings.
Manson’s defendants also received support from his former fiancée, Rose MacGowan, who posted on Instagram, saying: “I stand with Evan Rachel Wood and other brave women who have come forward. It takes years of abuse to restore and I send their strength on their journey to recovery. Let the truth be revealed. Let the healing begin. “
In a subsequent development, California Senator Susan Rubio appealed to Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson and FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate the allegations against Manson.
Manson went to Instagram to refute the allegations, saying: ‘Of course, my art and my life have been magnets of controversy, but these recent allegations about me are a terrible distortion of reality. My intimate relationships have always been completely one-sided with like-minded partners. No matter how – and why – others now choose to misrepresent the past, this is the truth. “
