He took his name from Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson: Who is Marilyn Manson?

This time the name Marilyn Manson comes up with harassment. Marilyn Manson, who is accused of harassing his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, is being investigated.

WHO IS MARILYN MANSON?

As a child, he joined his mother's Episcopal church, although his father was a Roman Catholic. He attended Heritage Christian School between the first and tenth grades. While teachers at this school were telling students what kind of music they should not listen to, Warner was very impressed by these songs. He then transferred to GlenOak High School and graduated from there in 1987. After moving with his family, he enrolled at Broward Community College in Fort Lauderdale. Warner, who studied journalism, gained experience by writing articles for a music magazine called 25th Parallel. In this way, he met musicians who influenced him, such as My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, The Perfect, and Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails.

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician. He came to prominence as the lead singer of the band that shares his name, of which he remains the only constant member since its formation in 1989. Known for his controversial stage personality, his stage name (like the other founding members of the band) was formed by combining the names of two opposing American cultural icons: actress Marilyn Monroe and cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson's mother died on May 13, 2014, eight years after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. His father died on July 7, 2017.

Founding of Marilyn Manson

Before the band, Brian Hugh Warner played bass guitar in a band called Satan on Fire and drums in Mrs Scabtree. These groups also work with Twiggy Ramirez, who will later become a band member. In 1989, Marilyn Manson & Satan of Fire was founded. Manson and the Spooky Kids, who immediately became famous with their successful demos and strong connections in the internet and journalism, and then attracted the masses to their side with their lyrics, made musician changes over time. People who are constantly changing on the field suddenly become involved in the group's image and undergo a kind of mutation. This coincides with the fact that the members of the Manson family, who were thought to consist entirely of stage shows, always came to the fore with their lifestyles. In 1992, the band's name was shortened to Marilyn Manson. He also later composed the main music for the films Resident Evil and Max Payne.

Films

Manson first appears in David Lynch's Lost Highway. Other notable films he appeared in are Asia Argento's The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and Rise starring Lucy Liu. Manson also expressed his views in Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary, Bowling For Columbine, because Marilyn Manson is shown as one of those responsible for the Columbine massacre. Manson announced plans to produce and star in a film called Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. Some of Marilyn Manson's sex movies have also emerged.

Not one, not two, but at least 16 women... Marilyn Manson's terrible tortures!

Marilyn Manson, one of the most well-known names of rock music in the 90s, was also on the agenda in 2021. However, unfortunately, it was not his music that brought Manson to the agenda this time, but the allegations of sexual violence and torture by the women he was with in the past. Throughout the year, many different women made very similar accusations against Manson. We said, "What happened?" For those who say, we have prepared a summary of the process from day one.

Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, is known for his songs that focus on themes such as macabre, misogynistic, violence, and death. Drawing a similar portrait in public and on stage, Manson became one of the most popular names of the 90s. The three albums he released with his band at the peak of his career sold more than 1 million copies each and were awarded Platinum Records. Manson's total worldwide sales reached 50 million. 52-year-old Manson has also appeared in many productions in cinema and television.

It is not unheard of that Manson used violence against the women in his life. He has made statements on this subject many times in the past. However, he neither received a serious reaction from the public nor was he subjected to any sanctions for his behavior.

However, on February 1, 2021, an Instagram post by Manson's ex-girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, changed everything. In her post, Wood said of Manson, "I was just a teenager when he started approaching me to gain my trust, and he abused me for years."

That same day, four more women filed sexual assault accusations against Manson. Then, in April, news of the lawsuit filed against Manson by Esme Bianco, known to the whole world from the TV series "Game of Thrones", came. The indictment prepared by the lawyers of Bianco, Manson's ex-girlfriend, listed accusations such as sexual assault and battery.

According to the research conducted by Rolling Stone magazine, the number of women who have made sexual assault accusations against Manson has reached 16 so far. When all of these accusations are taken together, it becomes clear that the violence Manson inflicted on the women he was with was not an isolated incident, but a pattern, and that it was ordinary and normalized by those around him.
