The allegations against Marilyn Manson are disturbing and serious. If true, they paint a picture of a man who is capable of great violence and abuse towards women. It is important that these allegations are fully investigated and that Manson is held accountable for any wrongdoing.

No one should have to suffer at the hands of an abuser, and it takes great courage for survivors to come forward and speak out about their experiences.
