How She Disarmed Him

47 Comments

[Blind Gossip] Actress Evan Rachel Wood of Westworld recently displayed a sad photo and shared some disturbing details about a past relationship.

She wrote:

2 years into my abusive relationship I resorted to self harm. When my abuser would threaten or attack me, I cut my wrist as a way to disarm him. It only made the abuse stop temporarily. At that point I was desperate to stop the abuse and I was too terrified to leave. #IAmNotOk

 

While the perpetrator may have been a non-celebrity, some of male celebrities she has has dated/been engaged to/married include Edward Norton, Jamie Bell, Marilyn Manson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Alexander Skarsgard, Shane West, and Zach Villa.

Evan Rachel Wood has one child, a son, with actor Jamie Bell.

We do not know the identity of her abuser.

    • how can this be marlyn manson, blindgossip said this person is a NONCELEBRITY…..not discounting what others said about his behavior, but he is not the answer for this particular blind

    • wfreshie, the article says “may have been a non-celebrity”, it didn’t state it was definitely a non-celebrity. Therefore, my guess stands.

    • wfreshie, It says the abuser MAY be a noncelebrity but that BG does not “know the identity of her abuser.”

      Still…. I get more of a Jamie Bell vibe from this than a Marilyn Manson one.

    • “while the perpetrator MAY HAVE been a non celebrity…” BG never said they aren’t a celebrity, wfreshie.

    • @wfreshie – It says:

      “…the perpetrator MAY have been a non-celebrity…”

      It doesn’t say it was definitely a non-celebrity, it could be either.

    • Wfreshie you need to brush up on your reading comprehension lol, how cringe worthy that reply is.

    • I agree it’s Manson. He was the one to get her to dye her hair black to look more like Dita Von Teese. She never wanted her hair like that. It’s obvious in the pic that she’s not the redhead everyone knows her proud to be.

    • Obviously it seems like it’s Manson because he is the most “out there”. Marilyn Manson is a very smart and enlightened individual, he is soft spoken and polite, I think it’s someone else.

    • Snarkymouse that doesn’t mean he can’t be an awful person to women and smart and enlightened is debatable.

    • I don’t think Dita Von Teese would have stayed with someone abusive for as long as she did. Maybe Rose McGowan would because of the past abuse, but I still don’t think Marilyn Manson would behave in that way. He doesn’t give off that vibe.

      Edward Norton does give off a restrained rage vibe, although I really don’t want it to have been him either.

    • AMEN April! My ex-hub -a soft spoken, great guy to the OUTSIDE world – beat the crap out of me at home. One horrible detail: he threw me down the stairs & at the bottom he kicked me as hard as could in the groin area. About 7 years later it was discovered that my womb had a massive growth on it in that area (not a fibroid) that had become the size of a large grapefruit…hysterectomy at age 35.
      Moral: Public “nice guy” doesn’t mean squat.

  4. Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson

    I would tell a friend to pack a bag and commit to living with me for one month. Amazing what a little space will do for clarity.

  5. Wouldn’t surprise me if it is Manson. Didn’t they date for more than 2 years? Also, Rose McGowan dated him and both her and ERW seem messed up.

  6. Apparently, Marilyn Manson was flattered that Evan Rachel Wood said to him early in their relationship that she would die for him and when they were together she started to look like his ex-wife Dita Von Teese so I think it’s him.

  7. Man: Shane West

    What advice would you give to a friend if they were in a similar situation?

    You can’t give advice. These people in abusive relationships get into this kind of drama because they deep down they hate themselves and think they don’t deserve any better.

    • Actually I change my answer to Joseph Gordon Levitt. I wouldn’t think it but that’s the only pics I can find with her dark hair. Sorry Marilyn!

  16. i have no idea who it is, but that’s so awful. when i was in an abusive relationship that lasted years, i could hold it together (kinda?) when it was “just” (ha!) verbal/psychological abuse, but whenever i got beaten i cut myself, too. i think, in my my mind, i was in *control* of that pain?
    thank you for posting the hotline number. every country, every city *does* have resources and safe people to talk to and help! you deserve so much better, even if you’re so messed up you no longer think so!

  19. Manson. However, why do these celebrities have to be so melodramatic..if she isn’t alright than why is she artfully posing her scars like a fashion model? Seriously, she did full makeup.

    • I know what you mean. It’s not PC to notice these things, and it’s horrible that this happens but celebs really love to milk the sympathy angle. It’s hard to imagine regular people posting similarly on social media about such a sensitive issue like it’s some photo shoot.

    • Agreed. I find it so whiny and unnecessary to post on social media. Why not get the help you need and deal with it privately? I find it hard to be sympathetic for celebrities when they do stuff like this.

  22. Theoretically, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that MM was the answer to this blind BUT I don’t wanna put a label on him or any of the other guys suggested as the supposed answer to this ugly blind.

  25. I don’t think it could be Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Alexander Skarsgard. MM looks like a type of dude who could be pretty cruel in relationships but looks often decieves… I saw some of his interviews and he seems quite nice and empathetic. She wrote about 2 years so my bet is on Jamie Bell…

    To get out of this relationship as fast as possiable.

  26. Marilyn Manson.

    I feel guilty for saying this, but I find her highly manipulative. I’ve no doubt she was abused by Manson and taken advantage of in her youth. I find her perpetual victim mentality exhausting – and the way followers seem to lap it up – unhealthy. If she hadn’t been an actor, she would have been one of those girls who used to hang out on Tumbler, posting (posed) “sad” pics of the aftermath of their cutting. I hope she finds a stability, for the sake of her son.

    • Wow, you put into words exactly how I feel about the perpetual victim mentality these celebrities promulgate. It’s so damn annoying.

  29. Jamie Bell.

    She left and then went back. I know in my experience with abusive partners they always “change” until you come back and fully cut the ties. Too bad she shares a kid with him though.
