Following the disturbing onslaught of recent sexual assault allegations, longtime Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez has been accused of rape, as well as physical and psychological abuse.
The very serious allegations come from his former girlfriend Jessicka Addams of riot grrrl band Jack Off Jill, with Addams taking to Facebook this afternoon (October 20) to tell her story. Addams dated Twiggy Ramirez — who was born Jeordie Osbourne White and also played in such bands as Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle — in the 1990s. According to her statement, their relationship was an especially volatile one, with Addams claiming Ramirez was violent towards her — both physical, mentally and emotionally — and once even allegedly raped her.

I knew nothing about these allegations until very recently and am saddened by Jessicka's obvious distress."
