According toPhoenix Rising, his legal team opted not to comment on specific allegations.

And I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable, and nobody knew what to do.
I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses.
That’s when the first crime was committed against me, and I was essentially raped on camera.”
Wood goes on to explain how Manson coached her how to discuss “Heart-Shaped Glasses” with the press.
“But I was scared to do anything that would upset Brian in any way.”
She also recalls going on tour with him for eight months, during which she says he became violent.
And I remember him starting to slowly terminate the door and me going, ‘No, no, no.
you’re free to’t leave me here.’
And this guy I thought was my friend, too.
We’d been on tour a few months at this point.
He just shook his head and closed the door.
And that’s when I knew I wasn’t safe.”
In 2018, Wood spoke beforea House Judiciary Committeein support of the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights.
Game of ThronesandThe Magiciansactress Esme BiancosuedManson last April for sexual assault.
A separate lawsuit from a “Jane Doe” wasdroppedin September due to expired statute of limitations.
“Because I know that I’m not Brian’s only victim,” she says.
“The urgency of stopping him now is great,” Wood adds.
“He has proven time and again that this is a pattern of behavior and it escalates.
I think he’s very particular about who he does this to, to get away with it.
So, the urgency is great.”
