Evan Rachel Wood dumped live-in boyfriend Marilyn Manson on Oct. 23 after he tried to kick her brother Ira out of their guest house.
“Evan owned the house and didn’t want her unemployed sibling living on the street,” a source tells Star. “It was the tipping point. Evan was fed up with how controlling and emotionally abusive Marilyn was.”
Evan, 21, and Marilyn, 39, started dating in December 2006, as his marriage to Dita Von Teese was almost over.
Let’s hope it’s true! About damn time I say! Evan has too much potential to be someone who seems as destructing as Manson. I’m not trying to offend any of his fans, hell I do like some of his older songs, but after everything I have read with Rose, Dita, etc. He really seems as cliche as it is “a bad influence” and destructive. Evan is one of the most talented actresses out there, and she’s one of my absolute favorites but I, like many, feel when she was/is with Manson her whole persona has changed. I’m not saying he has totally “brainwashed” her but honestly it goes much beyond the looks here. Aside from the total “Dita look” she’s had, her whole manorisms changed, especially in interviews geared to a more ‘rock audience’ like her interview with The Sauce during the Across the Universe promotions - but yet when she was with Jim in interviews more ‘light’ she was upbeaty again. On Fuse she came across like “hey I don’t care”, and from the previous ways I’d seen her she was pretty up beat and always very respectful to her interviewers.
My whole take on the Manson thing was always like this. I was always more than a little disgusted by the video. (The song is pretty damn catching I’ll admit). After I’d gotten over that, and started to realize that despite how much I disliked the way Evan was “changing” I still could not ignore the fact that she’s such an amazing actress, and I suppose we’ll never know these people in real life so we should like them for their talents as much as one’s personality. So I’d let go of their relationship being a reason I wouldn’t be a fan. But Evan is so young, I think she was/is at this point in her life of finding out who is as a person. I’m not saying this ‘new Evan’ isn’t who she is and I don’t expect her to fully change right back - in fact I quite like the look now, but I hope she will come across the same classy, mature girl I saw before, not I’m better than ‘this’, but given her age it just seemed like she was a bit of a crossroads, like a “pick a direction” way. And given she was so “in love” (*caugh* brainwashed *caugh*, lol) with Marilyn, she’s natually more adaptable to his way of living - and eyeliner.
If it isn’t true, well then boo. I know the Manson thing is very off putting to some - and some people dull it down to just being the looks factor - which might be a huge thing for some - but I think I’m not alone when I noticed how she appears to act when she’s ‘under his thumb’.
But either way, like I said, I still consider myself a massive fan and I do support her career as an actress either way, she’s really one of my absolute favorites so I guess I’ll take the bad with the good…
“Last night, there was a whole rally that I saw for Prop. 8. A lot of people came out with their signs, and I think [Prop. 8] is discrimination and I don’t understand how people can be so closed-minded and so judgmental. We chose an African-American president, and it means so much … [it's] a time in history of great change and open-mindedness. Why is this any different? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why you would put so much money behind something [aimed at] stopping from people loving each other and bonding together? I just don’t understand it. It’s hard for me to grasp. But I would’ve been out there with my rally sign as well.” - Christina Aguilera
