Marilyn Manson Denies Involvement in Controversial Lana Del Rey Video
UPDATE: Marilyn Manson's camp has denied any connection with the controversial video that surfaced earlier today and depicts Lana Del Rey being sexually assaulted by Hostel director Eli Roth. The short film was widely reported to be a Manson music video.
"Manson did not direct this, shoot it, nor was it for a Marilyn Manson video or outtake footage made by him or to be used by him with his music," said a rep. "It must be a fan video splicing up old Manson video footage with someone else's Lana Del Rey footage."
As Billboard points out, the disturbing, NSFW clip—which you can watch here—includes sections from past Manson videos including "No Reflection" and "Slo-Mo-Tion."
Given the evidence, it appears the Manson video Roth did direct (read below for more on that) remains unseen. Rey and Roth have yet to comment on the matter.
