    I was molested from the time I was four to 10. It was my dad’s sister’s husband. I don’t call her my aunt because she said I “seduced him” and I don’t call him my uncle. I call him “it.” They aren’t “my” anything. He didn’t directly tell me not to say anything, but my dad was an abusive, angry man so I think: I was a prime target and I wouldn’t say anything because of how my dad was. I don’t trust people right away and actually have a long list of characteristics that I need in order to trust someone. Right now the only person I trust is my husband. Before it died, I wrote him a four page letter, front and back, telling him how what he did affected my life. My dad and brother continued to see this man, and after it came out in the open my dad asked/said “He didn’t really do that to you, did he?”
    How he was caught: he used to like to take me to the beach (grew up in So Cal). He would use this opportunity to rub sunscreen on me (this is hard to write) and a man saw him doing it and said he was going to call the police, which he did. It was arrested, I was taken to the Orange County courthouse or some building and they made me reenact the abuse with dolls. It was humiliating. When my parents arrived they made me tell them, also humiliating. It told my dad “I didn’t hurt her!” Meaning physically, but the abuse was intertwined in every romantic relationship I’ve had, how I saw myself, how I thought everyone else saw me, the works. My parents never talked to me about it at all after that. It was swept under the rug and life went on

His mom cut off contact with the creep (it was his mom’s brother and they were really close before that). No one else in the family cut off contact. I’ll never understand that dynamic in families, where they stay in contact with the pedo. Members of my family did that so I cut off contact with them. Unfortunately, my husband’s mom was murdered in 2004 and I never got a chance to meet her.

    The thing about SA is it doesn’t just negatively effect the survivor, it effects every single relationship that survivor has for the rest of his or her life. There are still moments 30 years and lots of therapy later, my husband has to deal with the consequences of one man’s actions towards an innocent child. My children don’t know it, but it effects them as well, they don’t go on sleep overs, their relationships with adults get constantly scrutinized and are kept at a distance. Some men I’ve come into contact with get immediately distrusted, through no fault of their own, because of that abuser. It is truly a crime that keeps on “giving”. It gets better, and it gets easier, but it never goes away.

      I can relate to this 100%. I was brutally raped in 2011 when I was 18. He had 130lbs+ on me & I begged him to stop and tried pushing him off but he didn't stop attacking me. I confronted him after the assault and he even admitted raping me only to say, "I wasn't woman enough to handle him." The reason I never called the police is because my dad had been going through health issues his whole life and I didn't want to add more stress to my family. Also, my dad was a former cop who had also been traumatized so I knew if my dad found out, he'd kill the guy. Thus, I kept it mainly to myself telling only a few of my very close friends until I finally sought therapy. If I took him to court, I don't want his money - I would just want him in prison.
      I was also assaulted by a professor in 2015. It's a long story and I'd rather not get into it. Howevee when I went to the school counselor, they did little to help me. I also went to another adult on campus, a professor of mine who had served as my mentor and he essentially did nothing when I let him know looking for help. This attack is in association with a MAJOR university and the statue of limitations has not ended which is why I'm not giving many details as I have always wanted to seek justice for the trauma I have faced.
      I have lived with the long-term affects of these attacks. I have PTSD, chronic depression and anxiety. It's unfair that all of my relationships have suffered because of these attacks.

      It's very disappointing and disheartening when women downplay sexual assault and sexual abuse. The memories remain fresh throughout the victim's life, and sometimes the victim just needs a friend or family member to talk to and they are often told, "You have got to stop talking about it and move on with your life! Just think about something positive!"

      It’s nice to have that empathy, but we have to remember not everyone in our lives are therapists and not everyone in our lives have to deal and be the best person they can be for our sake. I’ve been a straight shitty person and jeopardized my life in terrible ways. It’s not another person’s responsibility to take that on when I confess things to them. It freaks people the fuck out. As it should. Their own life shouldn’t have to revolve around taking care of me. That’s selfish and unfair. There comes some point where you have to be able to deal with it, functionally, and not make it a central burden for everyone you love and/or want in your life.

      I have a friend who almost always rejects any accuser's claims of abuse as 'gold-digging' or 'she's just trying to get rich and famous.' He just doesn't get it and probably never will. It's infuriating to listen to that type of ignorance.
      I was physically assaulted by my parents as a kid. I got whipped with a belt or switch daily and I did whatever I could to survive it. 'Don't fight...or you'll get hit harder' was exactly my mindstate.

    Anyone can repeat an abuse story with seemingly heartfelt emotion. Her body language is another thing.
    I was an Evan Rachel Wood fan and because of this I watched " Pheonix Rising". I knew nothing about Marilyn Manson. Evan Rachel Wood's account just does not ring true to me for many reasons. Neither do any of her interviews about this. I am an abuse survivor. I will be doing further research. The truth will be revealed. Seems strange that she is friends with Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is very good friends with Manson. And look what is coming out about Amber Heard by her own admission (recordings made by her to defame Depp but is doing the opposite) and by the credible testimony of others.
    What really happened with Wood and Manson? We shall see.

At least, with the Manson situation, along with this detailed story, is a trail of other equally abused women experienced similar patterns and behaviors over years. TBH, Depp romances have usually been public over the decades. Until this train wreck of a divorce, he has never been accused of being abusive in relationships. Quite the opposite for Manson.

    I am a survivor of years of prolonged sexual abuse so I am no stranger to it, however I think that before we jump the gun and start accusing this man before he has been charged we need to take a look at what happened to Johnny Depp. There is much more to the situation than what most people know and once you start looking into the facts the story falls apart. Miss woods is very sophisticated in her attempt to prosecute him and is very well read, she's much more slide than Amber heard. Obviously I stand behind and support anybody who's actually been abused, but we as the society cannot be jumping to conclusions all the time even if there seems to be a bunch of people on board. Just make sure you do some deep investigating before you jump to any conclusions on this fan. And I'm not a fan by any means of him but I am a fan of the truth

I'm 55 years old and it can still bring me to tears and I will literally quake with fear when I think of my first grade teacher. She terrorized me for the entire year I had her. She was cruel and sadistic. Worst of all she convinced me not to tell my mother because my mother would be so disappointed with me if she knew what a bad girl I was. My mother was a widow who of course work full-time supporting me and my five other sisters. This woman convinced me that I was just a bad and worthless child. I was paddled with the board on numerous occasions. This was the first time in my life I have ever been struck by anyone. I would sit in my chair and worry what I would do next that would make her paddle me. I can think of two occasions that were absolutely ridiculous reasons to paddle me. I took too long getting tissues out of the nurse's office. The most ridiculous one was that I pretended I had Amnesia while I was playing at recess. I had seen it the night before on Gilligan's Island.
    I can remember often being stood up before my fellow classmates and ridiculed as they were encouraged to join in.
    I started not wanting to go to school. My mother couldn't understand why so she took me to a psychiatrist to talk to me to see if there was an issue. Of course after I spoke to the psychiatrist I watched my teacher then come into the office and speak with the psychiatrist. I remember that I lied to the psychiatrist about everything.
    I was so certain I was going to be locked up in an institution and taken away from my mother.
    It was many years later that I told my mother about what I went through. In the year 2000 they had a special ceremony at the elementary school. She no longer taught first grade but she remained a teacher in the school district until her retirement.
    I went to that ceremony with the plan to confront her. She didn't recognize me at first but when I started to remind her of all the different reasons she paddled me she knew my name right away. Shortly after I started speaking I began to cry but I was able to ask her if she thought that the above-mentioned reasons she paddled me we're justified. I reminded her how we both went and saw that psychiatrist because my mother couldn't understand why I didn't want to go to school. She had a shocked look on her face and look very uncomfortable because there were people around listening to the conversation. Because I was crying as I spoke I am pretty sure she is the only person that knew what I was talking about.
    I again asked her if she felt that striking a six-year-old with a piece of wood was OK. She said no and said " well all I can say is I am sorry and aren't we lucky that times have changed and we've learned so much from all those years ago." She use the old well that's how things were back then. Her excuse for what she did to me were it was just how they taught in the 70s.
    I apologize for the long and rambling story that has nothing to do with sexual abuse.
    I shared it for two reason. The first reason I shared it was because I wanted people to understand that abuse of any kind has a long-term impact on people. The abuser just gets to move on to their next victim. The victim gets to live with the abuse and it's Impact for the rest of their lives.
    The second reason I shared my story is because I want to say that Susan Schneider my first grade teacher at Willow Street Elementary, in the Lampeter-Strasburg school district, in West Lampeter Township, Lancaster PA was my abuser.

      He's biased in quite a few videos. Off the top of my head, he automatically called two Michael Jackson accusers liars when one of them seems credible and very traumatized. (The other one seems full of it like Evan.) He never even entertained the possibility that one or both could have been abused. I'm guessing he's an MJ fan. I was too until I learned that he had a legal (because it was "artistic"🤮) photo of a naked boy hidden in his closet. If he thought it was good art, why didn't he hang it up? Why hide "art?"
      I'll give one more example because I have limited time. If you pay attention to which political figures he does and doesn't criticize, it's easy to tell what his political views are. He only criticizes those he disagrees with. Most politicians are crooks and anyone who disagrees with that is dumb, naive, narrow minded, or all three. Just because you agree with most of someone's policies doesn't make them a saint. He's prone to black and white thinking, to use therapy jargon.

I experienced a traumatic event and then an abusive relationship directly after where what I had experienced was used against me in an attempt to demean and control me. It was very similar to Evan Rachel Woods experience with her perpetrator. I won’t even dignify him by using his fake name. So grateful she came forward. This makes it easier for other women to talk about their abuse and trauma. I am doing a lot better but it completely ruined my life for 10 years and I could not cope. I started trusting others and ultimately myself again which was the biggest blow to my psyche. I was always stuck between two thoughts and I never knew how I felt. I lost so much but I am slowly getting it back. I no longer have any contact with my abuser and unfortunately when I came forward the police wouldn’t help me. Times are slowly changing now and it is a beautiful thing. Sending love to any women that is going through this now. It will get better but it takes time so be patient with yourself. It’s not your fault and you can let go of any shame you feel. Find someone to talk to. I had to get on Psych meds. That is when my life got better. Therapy helps too. Thank you Dr. Grande.

    I could read a book…even a pamphlet…that discusses and discloses all the salient features of what victims of abuse feel, say, and do. And then formulate a narrative inserting myself into those well established features, hence seeming rock-solid and credible. Evan Rachel Wood thus far has not been able to document her 2 allegations of suicidal ideation or attempted suicide. All of her claims remain subjective. Many times prosecutors, various attorneys, including subpoenas, have requested evidencry records but to no avail. All I’m saying is: believe but verify. Espousing an account that rings true should never be enough to convict. She’s likely discussing real events, now prove it. Otherwise, an actor, especially a good one, can convince us of anything.

    I look forward to the video on Amber Heard, somewhere down the line. E.R.W had more credibility initially. But when she and her girlfriend co-opted all the other people who have made claims together with the same lawyer using very tenuous evidence like 'the room was dark', or 'the house was kept cold', as well as including false evidence such as traceable off the internet photos claiming to be their personal imagery. This is not a good sign. She also tried to co-opt other women who in turn have said they like Manson. So there seems to be something more to this. And in times when Amber Heard (a friend of ERW) has made such damming claims against Johnny Depp, only to have each thing be exposed as lies time and again. I think its time to really tread very carefully. Things like this need to be investigated, there needs to be police involved. ERW is no saint either, no meek lamb in the woods, as she now presents herself. So without some evidence we only get her curated presentation.

Meaning he has the burden in a defamation trial to obtain the proof against their claims. They can sit back and bat it all away. So you can stake a claim on some of MMs evidence in part once his lawsuit enters the California system with a greenlight, which it is has yet to do. Consider however that he is accusing them of a federal crime against the FBI. My guess is it would be a crime unto itself to make such an accusation on record against another party in law, and expect there not to be repercussions, and i doubt any lawyer would take his case if he were making false claims of this kind to build a case on ERW and co. Yet MM is making such a claim. It suggests that what evidence he has on them building a hoax is solid. Again, especially if his case is accepted by CA legal system. From ERWs perspective. This will be her opportunity now to put her case against MM into the court as well. So id assume if she has real bad stuff on MM, it will be good for her to put these things into the legal domain.

One of the women who was contacted blew the whistle and said Evan was coaching her testimony 2) What do you think of the fact that ERW has provided no physical evidence of the abuse she endured, 3) What do you think of the fact that her testimony about being raped on camera while shooting a video was contested by all the production people who were there in the room and said they didn't see it happen.
    I have no idea whether her story is true or not, and neither do you, Dr. Todd. That's up for a court to decide.

    I am conflicted about putting a sentence on someone based only on allegiations. I feel strong support for abuse victims, I wish there was a law that would castrate notorious sex offender, especialy those who abuse children. When I spoke to a friend about MM and ERW situation he gave me a bit of perspective that I cannot shake from my head. He showed a story from Australia where a man lost everything and was put to jail for abusing his wife. Everything checked out, everybody saw him as this horrible abuser. Then a female detective got assigned and she started uncovering that the woman was a pathological liar who in the past falsley accussed her friend's father. She started debunking lie after lie and finaly after years of legal battles in court, the woman admitted she wanted to take over the house the guy has built for them and his family big savings. He was released but his life is in ruins, his family spent all they had for his defense and are now broke. It really shook me to my core how such thing is totaly possible yet in my mind I never allowed myself to think that cause I never heard of such cases before. I really hope some evidence will come up to back up ERW claims cause I feel disturbed right now as I voiced strong support for her against Manson and if evidence will come forward that they were lies then I dont even know what to think of myself...

It’s another example of how a man almost lost everything due to lies and false accusations. The thing about that case is that Heards lies are so easily debunked, but people (although not a lot of people) still believe her. Sad.

    I read MM's autobiography a couple of years ago (not a fan, just have an interest in the evolving new music scenes in Britain and the U.S.). He was very forthright about his exploits, the humiliation and manipulation he heaped on young people drawn to his outrageous persona, and his belief that victims of his abuse and degradation should feel grateful he spent any time with them at all. I was hoping there would come a point in his tale where he had an epiphany about his behavior, but when he did (sort of -- not really) it was only a realization that he had to watch out more for his own business interests and not drain his resources so much. Rachel's story is believable for many reasons, not the least of which is that MM himself brags for a couple hundred pages about doing vile and disrespectful things to other humans. She's well quit of him, and I hope she can heal and surround herself with loving, caring people.

There wasnt a moment where he would have anything positive to say about other people. Instead he constantly put people down, belittled and humiliated them. Top that with the graphic descriptions of abuse which he not only commited alone but with his band members, tour crew and members of nin, including reznor himself who is depicted engaging in abusive behaviour by himself too. Theres no sugarcoating of it either except maybe some handwaving towards hedonistic rock n roll lifestyle.

I wrote for a zine (remember those?) and most people's responses, even ones who had no use for their music, were things like "Too bad his father is dead; I'd like to kick the bastard in the balls with steel-toed boots" and "I believe it; nobody gets that crazy growing up in the Brady Bunch."

      I've never had this issue. I don't put people with a skill I don't have "on a pedestal". My issue here is that there is a whole HEAP of accusations, and literally zero evidence to back it up. This has become the "norm" lately, where an accusation is just as good as an indictment and a conviction to the torch and pitchfork crowd. And god help you if you actually mention that there is no evidence....then, out ride the whiteknights on their fedora laden steeds to screech stupid shit like "YOU'RE THE REASON NO ONE COMES FORWARD!!!!"....yes, how dare I expect ACTUAL FUCKING EVIDENCE to ruin someone's life. What a monster I must be.

    A narcissist doesn't see things like non narcissists do. They don't acknowledge what they did was abuse because they don't see anything from anyone's viewpoint but their own. It is the most insidious and difficult type of abuse to escape and nearly impossible for people outside the relationship to grasp. The narcissist is charming, convincing, and lives to lie and deceive everyone who loves them. People are possessions, to be used and discarded at the narcissist's whim.

      People have very weird ideas about accusations with celebs , saying nobody would accuse for the clout they could gain, nobody would lie for the money they can get from interviews and books
      Ive heard of some great thought experiments e.g. when you have a group of accusers E.g. against Manson or Cosby, leave your wallet in the middle of a room with these people with your savings in that wallet in the form of cash for an hour.
      It's like people don't realise that hitmen exist, that people accept money to assault people and murder people
      Of COURSE people will make sexual or abuse accusations for the fame and money, the mere fact that weird hashtags like BelieveAllVictims exist is evidence of the benefits for a malicious person willing to fabricate a claim.
      That hashtag is key evidence of our rejection of due process, the word "Victim" Already judges a case and renders the accuser a truthful "victim" and the accused party to a dishonest "perpetrator"
      In the same way Jussie Smollett sought to steal sympathy and get his name in headlines to boost his wealth the same angle should be considered for other actors accusing bigger actors or musicians

    Inasmuch as my wife and I have been enjoying so many of your videos and have come to appreciate your clear, concise analysis of complicated topics and controversial subjects, which you present in a refreshingly understated, balanced and respectful manner. Plus, your subtle, perhaps unexpected humor, makes the whole enterprise all the more watchable and engaging.
    That being said, we were disappointed with your analysis and conclusions regarding ERW and the very serious allegations she is making against Marilyn Manson. I was expecting you to perhaps provide a timeline of events in order to compare and where possible, corroborate each of the litigants versions of events. Also, rather than laying out, examining and even testing specific allegations, testimony and other evidence, it seems like this video lacks the kind of rigorous due diligence and critical review we have come to expect from you. Also, it seems here that essentially you are merely positing that ERW self reports certain classic symptoms of SV or IPV. I was also hoping for some allowance for the possibility that the plaintiff may have researched typical symptoms and the most salient difficulties, after effects, behaviors, etc.
    In any case, i understand MM has made his bed to the degree that he intends his MM persona to be a transgressive, confrontational, provocative figure, so in making his defense, he begins at somewhat of a self inflicted disadvantage. Serves him right since much of that aspect of his act is a little corny, age inappropriate and even a little lazy or limited, i.e., shocking in all the most unoriginal and uninteresting ways. However, Mr Warner’s likability issue only means that those of us hoping to make an accurate, useful analysis of the case must be extra vigilant against bias or prejudice.
    Perhaps you would consider a more detailed explanation of why you find her claims to be credible or conversely, why you do not find his account as convincing as hers. Also, are there any indications that the plaintiff in this case may suffer from some mental illness or condition, eg., personality disorder, that might provide some insight into this he said she said situation. Anyone who claims to be the victim of abuse has the right to be heard and to confront their abuser; but their account also needs to stand up to scrutiny. Let’s not jeopardize the gains we have made via the #metoo movement by a failure to use our legal and societal institutions, our critical faculties, common sense and discernment in order to process these cases in an appropriate, judicious manner on the way to a fair, productive resolution. #AbuseHasNoGender

It took practice. You ladies in the comments should talk to each other. You all KNOW what the other is feeling. Together, you would all put it behind you. I am not saying you will forget, but you could certainly help each other live with it.. atb.

I was dismissed and devalued every time I came out with my own stories so I just stopped after time. Now i understand why, and why I cannot just get over what was done to me and other women in my family. Thank you for this.

    I think it’s also important to note that he didn’t really deny the allegations, he just stated that is was consensual.
    But something along the line „I only love you when you do that“ is not asking/getting consent but emotional manipulation. Remember she was 18(!!) and he was 36, so he had a lot of power over her.

    when I acknowledged the abuse I suffered as a child, I lost my family over it, 10 years ago now. I can really relate the consequences she described. it's crushing when your deepest fear of being rejected over it comes true. I think I always knew it would happen because my mother ignored taking responsibility for the obvious signs of trauma I exhibited. her whole life is based in toxic amnesia and I couldn't live that way anymore. it's been undescribably devastating but at least I'm no longer trapped in an invalidating prison of cognitive dissonance.

    You're so right, it never gets easier to talk about past sexual abuse especially when you start a new romantic relationship. Trying to explain to a potential partner that there are certain things you can't or won't do during intercourse is always hard and can lead to further distrust if that partner isn't understanding. A lot of survivors don't know how to talk about sexual boundaries and we often have flashbacks during sexual encounters which can be traumatic on it's own. Thank you so much for talking about this subject it's really important to me and I know many others

      Not to mention the shame you feel for setting those boundaries. For other people it's normal and no big deal to do those things but you don't want to put yourself in that same situation again. I know we shouldn't feel shame but when no one else seems to have a problem with those things you feel alone and ashamed.

    It´s about time this guy had some kind of repercussion for all the messed up stuff he´s done to people. So many instances where there where victims who came forward but were ignored and harassed to the point of not wanting to speak anymore and everything kept getting swept under the rug. I enjoyed his music very much but I can´t stand musicians who brush off being a bad person as "an artistic persona" or for shock value.

      What? I haven’t heard anything about him abusing anyone until now!
      Fun fact: I used to work w a girl who is friends w him. Her and her sister got pulled out of the crowd to go hang out backstage at one of his shows several years ago. Being a fan, she would have hooked up with him in a heartbeat, but because he was dating or married every time he came through town for a show (and they hung out) he never touched her. They did a lot of drugs apparently but she said he was a perfect gentleman, and not at all what you would expect from a rockstar, especially Marilyn Manson of all rockstars.
      Anyway, that’s my 2 cents. Not saying he did or didn’t abuse ERW or anyone else, but let’s let the man have his legal process before jumping to conclusions.
      The sad fact for real victims (and falsely accused) is that people DO lie about abuse sometimes. We should lean more towards belief but always demand facts/proof.

    'Gaslighting' isn't a technical term. To hear a Dr say this is a powerful tool is alarming. No offense. I was violently Abused for almost 6 years. Yes, I knew. Yes, everyone around me knew. You don't at all acknowledge that most of Evan's & Manson's relationship occurred when he was on tour. Her parents attended many concerts, attended many after parties. He took her & her family on vacations including Disneyland. They had family holidays together. To say she was isolated while on tour, while spending time with her family, while working as a professional actress & in the eyes of the paparazzi 24/7. You haven't looked into any history.. you didn't care to look at any of her past interviews where she clearly states they had a normal loving relationship, where she spoke so highly of him. You don't seem to care about any of the crimes she & her scam artist GF have committed to falsely accuse Manson. I would assume someone with such a huge following would learn about the cases they are covering.

    Unfortunately this analysis is, in my opinion, is very dangerous as it takes these accusations at face value. There are many facts in this case that need to be acknowledged, as she appears to be neither brave or a real victim. I encourage anyone interested in this case to find colonel Kurtz's channel as she interviewed other ex partners etc and reviews actual evidence. I rarely write comments but this content was ill informed

      Sorry but Kurtz's analysis of Evan Rachel Wood is a rambling, self indulgent tangent, her other videos she calls "evidence" aren't really. Her "psychoanalysis" of ERW reveals plenty about herself. She shoulda stuck to Depp and Heard. MM isn't Johnny and ERW isn't anything like Heard. This is beyond CK's pay grade.
