Sharon Osbourne has spoken out about her relationship with Marilyn Manson following backlash from fans.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, was accused by his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Woods of abusing her during their relationship. The pair’s relationship became public knowledge in 2007, when Woods was 19, and in a statement, the Westworld star claimed that Manson had “groomed” her when she was a teenager. The two got engaged in 2010 but broke up later that year.
Manson denied the accusations, writing in a statement he posted to Instagram, “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.”
Now Osbourne, who worked closely with Manson as his music manager and whose husband Ozzy Osbourne had planned a 2020 tour with the artist that was ultimately cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, spoke out about her relationship with the “The Nobodies” singer on the Feb. 5 episode of her show The Talk.
