Thread: I worked directly with
#MarilynManson
in 2007-2008 for his touring band when
#EvanRachelWood
was with him. She was on tour with us the entire time. Over the course of 1 year he turned her into a different person. He broke her. I didnt totally realize until later in life.
My sole focus is for people to not call these women liars. They’re not.
#Manson
gave me a living for a long time, gave me great music as a kid, I appreciate the opportunities. I saw the entire world for the 1st time with him. This was not easy but I had to do it. I stand by it.
It’s gonna be a long day for someone. Shit, meet the fan. I told you before. Believe the women. Proud of them for naming their abuser. There’s strength in numbers. Sadly the number is high. ❤️
But as I see so many people defending him & calling his accusers liars I’ve just had enough. Believe them, I saw it. I have nothing to gain from this & plenty to lose. There are people in his band/crew that I’m still close to. My apologies to them. But they also know I’m right.
Those of us that stay quiet do it because we were making a living. And it’s hard to find work in music if you can’t keep your mouth shut. But enough is enough. His fans will be angry & not believe it because they don’t want to. I understand that. I’m sorry to them. But its true.
I then starting working for him as his personal assistant in 2014-2015. I saw first hand, over & over him being an abusive violent boyfriend to his GF Lindsay. Over the almost 2 year stretch I saw her in tears & him screaming & belittling her more often than I didn’t.
He would threaten to kill her, cut her up, bury her, embarrass her to the world. Making her cry & fear him made him feel good. He would remind her that she’d be homeless without him and make fun of her learning disabled family member.
Everyone in his immediate circle knows this. But everyone (including myself) is afraid to say anything because of “the code”. It’s frowned upon to tell people’s private business.
He is a brilliant musician, an incredibly smart & funny man. But he’s also a mentally & physically abusive drug addict that has the ability to be super kind & emotional. It’s hard to wrap your head around. I’m not asking for him to be “canceled”, fuck ALL that cancel stuff.
I will also say that a reason I stayed quiet is because of a kind thing he did. On tour in 2007 my stepmom died suddenly. The Manson camp flew me home for a week on their dime & paid me anyway. I will still never forget that & it sincerely meant a lot to me.
Thank you everybody for the kind response & support for whatever help I lent to the Phoenix Rising doc on HBO. I watched it, it’s a powerful, beautiful film and I want to thank Amy Berg
@disarmingfilms
For not editing anything I said out of context. I stand behind every word 100%
Phenomenal night in Vegas, hanging out with my old pal
@JeremyCorbell
and dare I say my NEW pal the great Mr.
@g_knapp
! What a delight and what a great way to kick off this Jane’s Addiction tour.
Finally, for the people that don’t believe me/them I truly could not possibly… care any less what you think. My friends, family and peers in the music industry that I’ve been in since 2005 know who I am. Ride or die superfans will never EVER intimidate me.
In my 10 years with
#JanesAddiction
I’ve had many memorable moments. Tonight was a very special one. Playing Jane Says with the boys at the Hollywood Palladium where they played multiple nights at the height of their careers over 25 years ago. Photo:
@toddnewman70
This film airs tomorrow & I’m looking forward to finally seeing it! Proud of the conversations & experiences shared on this day. Proud of the women (and men) who participated. I’ll have more to say after I see both parts. Thanks
@disarmingfilms
!
Absolutely loving
@LueElizondo
book “Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt For UFOs” which came out today. Some pretty staggering information. I ordered a hardcopy that was sent to my house and I just bought the audiobook to listen to on tour. Thank you for your openness Lue. 🤙🏻🇺🇸
I just played guitar on Howard fucking Stern accompanying Jane’s Addiction & Smashing Pumpkins together for Jane Says. Another surreal moment that I am forever grateful for. Thank you universe.
That was without any doubt the most punishing, incredible set list I have ever seen
@nineinchnails
play. Un-fucking-believable. This was the fans wet dream of a set list.
Everybody knows Taylor Hawkins was a great drummer. Everybody knows that he was rock ‘n’ roll to his core. But what makes this so incredibly hard, and what most of you don’t realize, is that he was an amazing Dad. He REALLY loved his kids. Decades now lost for those kids. 💔
Holy balls. In my 11 years with
@janesaddiction
that was in the top 10 best shows I’ve seen. Felt like such a “band.” Vibeing out together, slaying, and just so fun. Impromptu tribute to Tom Petty as well with Breakdown! Gave me goosies and a tear.
So today Jane’s Addiction played their first show in over two years & the Red Hot Chili Peppers played their first show with John Frusciante in over 11 years in a backyard in Beverly Hills. Oh… And I met TOM FUCKING BRADY. What a day friends... what... a... day.
Brushing up on
@janesaddiction
bass lines since Chaney can’t make rehearsal tomorrow. Now’s my chance! Goddamn you wrote some incredible stuff
@ericavery
.
I am so inspired and blown away by President Zelensky. On the streets, fighting with his people. Do you know who wouldn’t do that? Trump. Also? Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton… no US president. Not one in recent history. Ukraine has unity we couldn’t dream of right now.
If anyone reading this is turned down for an abortion in your state & you plan on getting one is SoCal, my Wife & I will put you up during your visit or help you find a place to stay. Not kidding.
9 years ago tonight
@trent_reznor
allowed the guitar tech for
@DaveNavarro
, me, to play Wish with
@nineinchnails
in basically my hometown. A true childhood dream. Thanks again TR. You are a good man! After the song, my now Wife & I had our 1st kiss.
Oh no!!! RIP to Art Bell. A pioneer in radio and the paranormal. I've spent MANY hours listening to him talk about aliens, talk to people from the future, and all kinds of madness. Wow. He was really great.
@DanaWilliams72
Dana, there are so many people like you. I’m sorry you’re lonely. I don’t know you but as I human I feel for you. This year must make it all worse. Please just stay open to the possibility of things getting better. Allow yourself to be vulnerable & welcoming to whatever comes! 🤗
It happened. It fucking happened. Tonight...
@DaveNavarro
& I were in Ministry. Surreal & amazing. Thanks to Al & Liz for welcoming us into the
@weareministry
family. This was a dream come to for this kid from a small town in Massachusetts. Shall we do it again tomorrow?
I stand by every word. Manson will lose in court in my opinion. The evidence & eye witnesses are overwhelming. But he has no choice but to sue, because he’ll never take responsibility. People think because Depp won (which I think he should have) that MM will too. Different cases.
My friend
@DanCleary79
has been talking about this before the rest of the world really knew how much of a horrific, abusive, and dangerous person MM is.
8 years ago tonight, Houston TX, I told
@DaveNavarro
sidestage that
#BinLaden
had been killed. He then told
@perryfarrell
& this is what transpired. I’ll never forget this.
Watching the House Of Hammer docuseries on Armie Hammer & his family brought me back a lot to the online reactions from the Marilyn Manson stuff. Armie’s fans attacked the women & folks that spoke out. That was their very 1st reaction. Then death threats.
I've been working with
@DaveNavarro
&
@BillyMorrison
for 1/4 of my life. We've all been a part of incredible nights before, but last night's
@AboveGroundOrg
show was on another level. So proud of them for the work they did & bringing all that talent & love together on one stage.
Well that moved me to tears. I sat & watched with my Wife as she wept. She released all that has built up the last 4 years. I voted for HER. Everyone please take a moment and... exhale. Thank you
@JoeBiden
&
@KamalaHarris
for a powerful speech. We all felt it.
That’s correct. I was not close to them on that 2007-2008 tour, but it doesn’t take a detective to see someone physically breaking down & having an entire personality change. I heard sad details from band members & hire ups on the crew whose job was to be close to them. 🤷🏻♂️
@DanCleary79
@disarmingfilms
In the docu they branded you as an assistant to manipulate viewers into thinking that you were in Evan & Manson's inner circle. You weren't. You were a tech guy. Different reliable sources claimed you didn't spend any time with them. You only became an assistent in 2014.
I participated in this film & I’m really proud of the women involved. Thank you Amy Berg
@disarmingfilms
for showing the power of folks standing up for themselves. Looking forward to see this.
Before you come at me with this being a way to promote my podcast... shut up. I have a platform to share my feelings on my own terms and I'll do it. I don't owe it to anyone to answer your questions or criticisms. For everyone who has been kind to these women... THANK YOU.
Tonight is my last
@DarkMatterCrew
for a long time. There is nowhere I’d rather spend my last night in LA before tour than with
@toddnewman70
,
@DaveNavarro
&
@jessattelberger
making you guys chuckle & think. I appreciate every show we do together. I’m proud of it.
Hey everyone! I'm back with more
@DarkMatterCrew
pics.
Ahhh, the good old days...
Not to leave you out
@DanCleary79
but only two fit in the camera at a time.
Hang in there folks. If you make it through 2020 you will be stronger because of it & will be able to take anything thrown your way. I'm in your corner as long as you're in mine! Keep going.
When people say “Be safe. Don’t drink & drive” take it seriously. I had a family crash his car driving drunk last night and spent the day in the hospital. This can happen to ANYONE. Be smart out there. Not just on holidays. You can kill yourself or many innocent people.
