Evan Rachel Wood Speaks Out About Her Breakup with Manson

After some harsh rumors started circling earlier this week about the breakup between Evan Rachel Wood and rocker Marilyn Manson, Wood has taken it upon herself to set the record straight, reports People.

The 21-year-old told People in a statement, "Manson and I both decided to take some time apart so we could concentrate on work. Someone used that opportunity to kick us while we were down and sell a completely false story."

Woods went on to say that stories stating brother Ira caused a rift between the two by getting personally kicked out of Manson's guesthouse are just not true.

"Manson owns the house he lives in. My brother has never stayed there and the person that said such horrible things about Manson being 'controlling' and 'emotionally abusive' is certainly no source 'close' to me."

The actress defended the rocker, telling People, "Manson has been by my side and taken care of me through the best and worst times. I love him as a person and as an artist. I will always be proud to have been a part of that."

She then went on to criticize whoever gave the false information for the story and warns them to back off.

"If any more attacks are made on us, it is the act of a desperate, selfish person, who is angry to no longer be a part of my life. No further comment will be made and we request our privacy at this time."
