This week, we're doing a little rewind... Marilyn Manson, self-described "provocateur" and long-time shock rocker, continues to have a platform despite having been accused by countless women of extreme sexual abuse. After forming a sisterhood, these women – including actress Evan Rachel Wood – came forward and are working to hold Marilyn and abusers like him accountable. Together, Sarah and Sadaf take a look at their stories and trace the path that led Marilyn to the reputation he has today. As a warning, this episode will contain discussions of intimate partner violence and emotional abuse.
