Manson dated the “Queen of Burlesque” Dita von Teese for five years before the pair married.

Although it was Manson’s first trip down the aisle, the two split two years later.

She said that she went into the marriage with the “expectation of monogamy,” prompting cheating rumours.

She told Harper’s Bazaar in 2007, “Let’s just say that it must have been something pretty bad for me to move out of the house after six years together and to pack up my stuff on Christmas Eve.

“I loved him, and this was the most painful thing I have ever had to go through. It’s been really difficult.”

Manson was engaged to Rose McGowan for two years. The pair began dating in 1999 before calling it quits in 2001.

Rose said in a statement to E! News in 2001, “There is great love, but our lifestyle difference is, unfortunately, even greater.”

In 2015, McGowan claimed that Manson’s alleged drug use played a big part in their split, accusations he has yet to address.

Peaches Geldof, daughter of Bob Geldof, reportedly dated Manson when she was young.

In 2014, she tragically passed away at 25 years old of a heroin overdose.

Her father told the BBC, “We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.”

EVAN RACHEL WOOD

Evan Rachel Wood dated Manson publicly from 2007 to 2010, when they got engaged.

But the couple called off their engagement and split seven months later.

On February 1, 2021, Wood claimed her ex-fiance “horrifically abused her for years” and she wants to “expose this dangerous man”.

Wood has always been open about suffering abuse from a previous relationship but had never revealed the partner’s identity until now.

The 33-year-old Westworld actress, who came out as bisexual a few years ago, took to Instagram in the early hours of Monday, February 1, to reveal the identity of her alleged abuser.

“The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson,” she claimed.

“He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years.

“I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission.

“I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail.

“I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives.

“I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent.”

The same day, Manson posted on Instagram that the claims were “horrible distortions of reality”.

He added, “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.

“Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”

In 2018, Manson’s lawyer “categorically” denied claims made in a sexual assault case against the rock star in 2011.

LANA DEL REY

In 2012, fans speculated that singer Lana del Rey and Manson may have been an item.

The two were reportedly spotted sneaking into an elevator at the five-star Grand Hyatt hotel in Berlin, Germany.

Two years after dating rumours surfaced, the pair were embroiled in a controversy over a video clip that appeared to depict Rey being raped by Manson.

Fans came down on Manson after they believed he created the music video.

But Kathryn Frazier, a spokeswoman for Manson, said that Manson had nothing to do with the footage.

She said, “Manson did not direct this, shoot it, nor was it for a Marilyn Manson video or out-take footage made by him or to be used by him with his music.

“It must be a fan video splicing up old Manson video footage with someone else’s Lana Del Rey footage.”
