In the wake of abuse allegations made by Evan Rachel Wood against Marilyn Manson, at least ten more women have come forward sharing their experience. Otep mastermind Otep Shamaya has issued the below statement via Facebook claiming the singer has abused his current wife, photographer Lindsay Usich:

“WARNING: UNPOPULAR OPINION COMNG: Hey everyone, ok, I’ve been getting a lot of requests regarding my thoughts on Manson. I don’t normally discuss personal stuff but since all this evidence is coming out that he’s sexually & physically assaulted a number of women and minors not to mention being a sexist and a Nazi sympathizer, I’ve decided to tell you what I know: 

I was a HUGE fan of his. I even wore his shirt on Ozzfest when ppl were blaming him for Columbine. And I’ve met him many times. We have mutual friends including Gene Simmons son, Nick Simmons. Manson even told one of my fans he was afraid of me after SEVAS TRA was released which I took as a HUGE compliment. 

But then I dated a woman who was friends with his current wife Lyndsay (and her twin sister – who’s married to James Iha of A Perfect Circle) and Lyndsay used to call our house In the early hours & I was told she was hysterical bcz he was on another drug binge, threatening her life, throwing knives at her that stuck in the wall & verbally assaulting her. We offered many times to have her come to mine bcz he would NEVER come face ME with that bullshit (believe it) but sadly she wouldn’t leave him. So, my ex would be calm and talk her down until Manson realized she was on the phone and he whoa’d down. 

But then he started calling in the early hours. I was told he was paranoid, gacked out of his mind, and accusing his wife of cheating with an imaginary person who had blonde hair with a blonde mustache named “Don” who he, I’m told, saw on his security cameras and was “fucking his wife”.

Look. This is heartbreaking for all the women he’s hurt but also for all the fans who always had his back – like ME. 

BUT — He’s not the Luciferian evil everyone thinks he is. He’s just a violent junkie who chooses to bully and, according to reports, physically & sexually attacks women who he thinks are weaker than he is. I say …may he rot. #OTEP”

Marilyn Manson, who has denied these claims, was dropped by his label, Loma Vista Recordings, and his upcoming TV appearances have been cut. Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland have commented against the shock rocker. On Wednesday (3rd), cops swarmed the singer’s house for a welfare check. The police left after a rep for Manson said he was ok and just didn’t want to see them. Evan Rachel Wood has been using her Instagram account to build a case against the singer.
