HE is the self-proclaimed ‘Antichrist Superstar’ who fantasised about underage sex on stage and was blamed for inspiring the Columbine High School shootings. But Marilyn Manson revelled in his shock rock infamy for years - until a string of women accused him of sexual assault in 2021.
His ex-girlfriend, Hollywood actress Evan Rachel Wood, was the first to claim he had abused her since she was a teenager, alleging he had even raped her while filming a music video. Then the floodgates opened with others claiming they too were his victims.

Within 24 hours he was dropped by his manager, agent and record company - and has since been the subject of several lawsuits brought by women who claimed to have been his victims. Now a new Channel 4 documentary, Marilyn Manson Unmasked, explores the allegations against him and the controversy surrounding his fall from grace.

Manson has consistently denied sexually assaulting or abusing anyone, claiming that his “intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners”. So is Manson an artist pushing the boundaries of self-expression or a monster hiding in plain sight?.

Manson - real name Brian Warner - set out to shock. He chose the name Marilyn Manson because Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson were the two most memorable people from the Sixties. “I thought that dichotomy of putting those two names together, the positive and the negative, represented what I was about," he once said.
