Model Ashley Morgan Smithline claims she "survived a monster" during her relationship with the heavy metal singer while Manson denies all of her allegations. Smithline is just one of fifteen woman who have spoken out against Manson's abusive tendencies. She has recounted his sexual, psychological, and physical abuse, and calls it "torture." Smithline gave her first interview to People.com this month since naming Manson as her abuser in February.
According to her Instagram post that detailed their two-year relationship, Manson "sexually assaulted her countless times, bit her, whipped her, cut her with a swastika-emblazoned knife, and shoved his fist in her mouth during sex." She says he also "forced her to do a blood pact and that she was locked into what he called 'the bad girls' room,' a glass, soundproof room, whenever she 'pissed him off.'" A spokesperson for Manson says he "strongly denies her claims."
"There are so many falsehoods within her claims that we wouldn't know where to begin to answer them," the statement from Manson's represntation reads. "This relationship, to the limited extent it was a relationship, didn't last one week." However, Smithline provided evidence of messages from Manson that span two years.
