Marilyn Manson's abuse controversy continues to go from bad to worse, as Wolf Alice singer Ellie Rowsell has now accused the disgraced artist of filming up her skirt without consent while they were backstage at a music festival.

Rowsell made the claims over the weekend in a Twitter tread that was made in support of Mason accuser Evan Rachel Wood.

In a series of tweets, Rowsell wrote, "I met Marilyn backstage at a festival a few years ago. After his compliments towards my band became more and more hyperbolic I became suspicious of his behaviour. I was shocked to look down and see he was filming up my skirt with a GoPro."

She added, "There were no repercussions for his behaviour, his tour manager simply said 'he does this kind of thing all the time. I wasn't sure whether to bring any of this up but Manson claims in his recent statement that his relationships were 'entirely consensual' — I don't think he knows the meaning of consent if he goes around up-skirting young women at festivals."

You can find her thread below.

The accusation comes after Wood and four other women went public last week with claims of abuse against Manson. Since then, he's not only been dropped by his label and cut from various TV appearances, but the artist has lost his longtime manager.

Manson has denied the claims against him.
