Marilyn Manson Faces Harassment Accusation From Charlyne Yi After His New York Concert Meltdown
Actress Charlyne Yi recalled an incident of harassment from Marilyn Manson and alleged that the musician used both sexually and racially insensitive comments when he talked with women.
Sexual Harassment
Yi recalled an encounter with the rocker during his set visit to House, a show which he is a huge fan of. The comedian said that Manson's visit was far from pleasant because he harassed just about every woman he met on the set.
"Ugh, don't even get me started on Marilyn Manson. Yes, this happened a long time ago -- on the last season of House, he came on set to visit because he was a huge fan of the show and he harassed just about every woman asking us if we were going to scissor, rhino & called me a China man," Yi tweeted on Saturday.
"It's so triggering to see people come up on the internet who have harassed you. And then when you talk about the incidents you become known as the person tied to the harasser. And that's just your name from now on. It almost overrides who you are," she added.
However, the actress has since deleted her post after she received backlash from Manson's fans. She also responded to the criticisms with another deleted post.
"It's fun when you say someone harassed you and then it's followed by folks harassing you. I wonder if humans will ever get better," she wrote.
Bizarre Behavior
Yi recounted the sexual harassment incident from Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, after she learned what happened to him at his New York concert on Thursday. According to reports, the singer acted strangely on stage. He half-mumbled and half-sung monologue with his back to the crowd while his band aimlessly played a blues jam. Manson also repeatedly demanded applause.
Fans who expected to rock out to the band left the show disappointed, angry and asking for refunds. Initially, the concert started out great when Manson performed "Deep Six," The Reflecting God," and "This is the New S**t." However, he started demanding applause in exchange for more songs up until he eventually left the stage.
Fans said Manson was too messed up to perform. Even his band was perplexed by his behavior. At the end of the show, the crowd was heard shouting for refunds.
Yi's tweet comes on the heels of the singer's bizarre behavior at his concert to promote his new album Heaven Upside Down. The actress tweeted her sincere hope that Manson gets the help he needs.
