Marilyn Manson's ex-wife Dita Von Teese is speaking out.
The rock star has been at the center of scandal lately after being accused of abusive behavior by multiple women, including actress Evan Rachel Wood.
Following Wood's public allegations -- in which, she said she was "horrifically abused" by Manson -- at least four other women came forward with similar accusations. Manson has denied the allegations.
Now, Von Teese, 48, has released a statement of her own via Instagram, stating that her "personal experience" with Manson, 52, was different. The former couple dated for six years before they tied the knot in 2005. Von Teese ultimately filed for divorce one year later.

"Please know that details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years as a couple," the performer explained. "Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005."
She went on to explain that after a year of marriage, she left the relationship "due to infidelity and drug use."
"Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship," the dancer added. "I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal and the strength to fully realize yourself."
