Published: April 7, 2022, 8 a.m.

Teenage actress Evan Rachel Wood turned heads with her unlikely relationship with much-older shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. Behind the scenes, the musician\u2019s love bombing morphed into physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The two-part HBO documentary "Phoenix Rising" lets Wood tell her complete story for the first time. She recounts the evolution of a classically abusive relationship, elevated by a world of rock\u2019n\u2019roll excess and violence as an artform. It also shows in real-time her struggle with the legal system and threats from Marilyn Manson fans.
