In the wake of the abuse allegations levied against him, Police reportedly attempted to conduct a welfare check on Marilyn Manson at his Los Angeles home. 

As The Sun report, Los Angeles Police officers were reportedly called to Manson’s house after 6 pm on Wednesday night responding to reports of a “disturbing incident.” Shortly after receiving a call from a friend that “concerned for his wellbeing” police arrived at the scene.

Footage obtained by TMZ revealed that a witness near the property told law enforcement that they “heard someone inside shouting that they wanted to leave.”

“They wanted to leave, but someone wouldn’t let them leave,” the witness can be heard relaying in the video.

TMZ report that a friend of the disgraced shock rocker was anxious that “something happened to him” — after they did not hear from Manson for hours. Police reportedly knocked on the musician’s door, but nobody answered.

They proceeded to leave, but returned two hours later at 8 pm in an attempt to speak to someone at the residence, once again to no avail. The police ultimately left after they were able to make contact with a representative of Manson, who revealed that Manson was safe and “didn’t want to come out.”

On February 1st, Thirteen and Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood released a statement, identifying Marilyn Manson as the man who groomed and physically, sexually and emotionally abused her.

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

Wood’s statement prompted four other women to come forward, detailing their own alleged abuse experienced at the hands of Manson. Incidents that spanned from rape, sexual assault and psychological abuse.

Following the abuse allegations coming to light, Manson released a brief statement, essentially denying all claims made against him. Whilst Manson’s label, Lomo Vista, announced that they would cease working with the artist.

“Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “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.”
