Evan Rachel Wood is an American actress, model, and musician. She's had Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations. She heroically stands up for women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and passed Phoenix Act against domestic violence, which she named, in California. She named Marilyn Manson, also known as Brian Warner, as her abuser. She inspires us and supports other women against abuse.
Evan Rachel Wood transformed her trauma into state law this week when California Governor Gavin Newsom signed her Phoenix Act. When Wood was 18, she was “starved, isolated from friends and family, and at one point tied up by her hands and feet." She eventually pushed past threats to name Manson.
Wood came forward with her survivor story in 2018, releasing a video statement explaining why she wouldn’t name her abuser and testifying before Congress on behalf of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights. “Bad things can happen to you, but you can rise out of the ashes. That is exactly why I named it the Phoenix Act,” said Wood. “I do believe that you can come back from tragedy, sometimes even stronger than you were before.”

Evan Rachel Wood is an amazing talented actress who gets a lot of hate for standing up for herself and others. She has been in movies such as Thirteen (2003) and Frozen 2 (2019) as well as tv shows such as Westworld (2016-?) and Once and Again (1999-2002). Please stop hating on her lol she’s a good person!
