The actress Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) has decided to give up custody of her son Jack, who will turn 10 in July, to his father, also an actor Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot), with whom she was married for a year and a half, for fear to Marilyn Manson, due to the threats that the latter would have made.
According to legal documents obtained by The Blast portal, Evan Rachel Wood has agreed that her only child lives mainly with Jamie Bell in Los Angeles – she resides in Nashville, Tennessee – because she has “extreme fear of putting her son in danger†for residing with her after some recent intimidation Manson has allegedly carried out.
The document specifies that the 35-year-old actress will have custody of Jack one weekend a month and that the minor will stay with his mother during summer and winter vacations as well as certain festive periods throughout the year. anus.
The decision came a couple of weeks after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed a large part of the lawsuit that Marilyn Manson, 54, had filed in the middle of last year against his ex-partner, Evan Rachel Wood, for a crime of defamation, since the actress has publicly spoken about how the musician physically, sexually and mentally abused her during their relationship.
According to Marilyn Manson, the actress would have encouraged, together with the artist Illma Gore, other women to file more complaints for other sexual crimes against him and, among the evidence, they would have sent a false FBI letter, which the defendants denied. These actions, the singer explained, would have had negative effects on his career. Hence the threats that the actress claims to have received from Manson about her and her son.
