Evan claims she was just 18 years old when she met Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, at an event in Hollywood while he was still married to burlesque model, Dita Von Teese. She admitted that she did not think anything romantic could happen between them because she saw him as this 'well-established, much older man' who was taken.

However, feelings started to develop between the pair and they went public with their relationship in 2007 after Manson and Dita divorced. Evan, who is 20 years Manson's junior, told the documentary, as per The Sun: 'I really thought this was something special, that he really loved me, and I was really safe, and I was really lucky.'.

Manson was seemingly inspired by Evan, going on to write a song about her called Heart-Shaped Glasses. He also wanted Evan, who was only 19 at the time, to star in his music video. Evan claims she was told there would be a sex scene but that it would be shot at such speed that it would appear as a 'blur'.
