Last week, actress Evan Rachel Wood publicly identified musician Mara Hanson as her abuser.

Wood had testified in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security in 2018 in support of the Sexual Survivors Rights Act, which was signed into law by President

Obama in 2016, Wood described horrific physical violence and verbal abuse at the hands of Manson.

Since naming Manson as her abuser, nine other women have come forward

with similar allegations against Marilyn Manson. To discuss this is friend to the show and one of

my favorite guests, William Ramsey, author, lawyer, and host of the podcast, William Ramsey

Investigates. Welcome, William Ramsey.

Thanks for having me. Great to be with you again, Roberta. Yeah, I'm so happy we can talk about this.

I mean, were you ready for how dark this story is? No, I'm actually very surprised how bad it is and how it

never really came out until you know the last couple weeks

yeah and um i i was just say we were just saying before we started recording really makes

johnny dep who's friends with marylandinson look good yeah we did that that was our last show right

was was the defamation case in the UK between Depp and whatever his ex-wife's name was.

Yeah.

So pretty surprising.

And like we were talking in the pre-show, these two know each other pretty well.

So definitely birds of a feather.

And when Evan Rachel Wood testified,

she didn't name Marilyn Manson,

but she talked about him tying her up by her hands and feet

until he felt I had proved my love to him.

Is there some kind of, is that some i know marilyn manson is a very public
