Why Did Marilyn Manson And Dita Von Teese Get Divorced?

In February 2021, when Evan Rachel Wood named ex-partner Marilyn Manson as her abuser, former wife Dita Von Teese took to Instagram in a now-deleted post to reveal the real reason she and Manson divorced in 2007 after one year of marriage and seven years together in total. "Please know that the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple. Had they, I would not have married him," she wrote, per The Cut, adding their marriage failed "due to infidelity and drug abuse." She also added, "Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship."

This account matches what Von Teese told the Telegraph in 2007, where she commented on his hard-partying ways and infidelity by saying, "It was difficult, because I was trying to get him help for his problems, and eventually I realised that he didn't want help. I wasn't supportive about his partying or his relationship with another girl, and as much as I loved him I wasn't going to be part of that."

For his part, Manson told Spin that year that yes, Von Teese had threatened to leave if he didn't stop with the drug use, but he painted himself as a victim, telling the outlet, "I was no longer supposed to be a rock star ... I came out of this naked, a featherless bird." He then tellingly added that Wood supposedly told him she would die for him, which made him "want to live."
