Feb 4, 2021 10:05 AM Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has issued a statement to Pitchfork reiterating his dislike of Marilyn Manson following allegations of abuse against the latter by actress Evan Rachel Wood and several other women. I have been vocal over the years about my dislike of Manson as a person and cut ties with him nearly 25 years ago, the statement reads.

Did you move to LA on the hunt for a new musical angle?
Marilyn Manson: No, I moved there thinking it was my dream. I always thought it was a special, magical place to move to. Then Columbine was kind enough to pull the rug up under me. In the midst of that I took a moment back and I made
Holy Wood. The first image I emerged with was me, head shaved, with all these symbols and a gun my father had given to me aged seven. He taught me how to be a sniper and brought that gun back from Vietnam. So I have accurate aim. If I wanted to be a short, 100-foot range sniper, I’d be very, very good at it. But I’m not really into shooting things.
Creepshow after his former fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, accused the shock rocker of abusing her for years. Due to the allegations made against Marilyn Manson, we have decided to remove his performance from the remaining episode he is in, scheduled to air later this season. Starz stands unequivocally with all victims and survivors of abuse, a Starz spokesperson told Deadline.
Manson had played Johan Wengren, the lead singer of Viking death metal band Blood Death, in two episodes of Season 3 based on Neil Gaiman s bestselling novel. Per show lore, the character was a Norse berserker, who along with his band was a source of power for Mr. Wednesday in his war with the New Gods, and played an important role in The Unseen episode that aired Sunday night.
Does Marilyn Manson have any children?
Manson, who is the godfather of Johnny Deppâs daughter, does not have his own children. He told The Guardian in 2015 that he is terrified about the prospect of having a girl child.
âIâm the godfather to Johnny Deppâs daughter. Heâs my best friend, and I gave her her first set of high heels. Unfortunately, she was in diapers when I gave them to her. It was awkward when I saw her 14 years later, and Johnnyâs like, âHey, this is Uncle Manson. He gave you your first pair of high heels and changed your diaper.â That sounds really bad. But it was amazing.â
