Dita Opens Up About Her Turbulent Marriage

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese is speaking out against her estranged husband Marilyn Manson, 38, who recently told Rolling Stone magazine that he was in a “black hole of depression” during their two-year marriage.
In the latest issue of The Daily Telegraph, Von Teese shares her reaction for the first time after reading Manson’s interview in which he described the demise of their union and falling for his new love, 19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.
In a revealing Q&A, Von Teese, 34, pronounces Manson and Wood’s relationship “inappropriate,” and says she’s moving on. (Hey, when you’ve worn a corset every day for seven years to whittle your waist down to 16 inches, you can conquer anything.)
Highlights from the interview below…
On the collapse of her marriage:
“I had all the faith in the world in our relationship for the seven years we were together. I loved him very much, and when I married him I completely believed it would be forever…“Everything went downhill after we got married. I started working a lot to escape my home life.”
On trying to help:
“It was difficult, because I was trying to get him help for his problems, and eventually I realized that he didn't want help. I wasn't supportive about his partying or his relationship with another girl, and as much as I loved him I wasn't going to be part of that.”
On Manson’s recent Rolling Stone interview:
“He says how depressed he was. I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive. But the truth is I wasn't supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was…It didn't work. Instead, it made me the enemy.”
On moving out on Christmas Eve:
“I left with nothing. I knew that there was an inappropriate relationship going on in it, and I didn't want any part of it around to remind me. I didn't want that sofa. I didn't want that bed. I didn't want the knife you read about in the article.”
On making her own way:
“It has always been very important for me to be self-supporting. I know people probably think I married Manson for the money, but that's so far from the case.”
On growing up idolizing golden-age stars like Rita Hayworth:
“Everything about them was so exciting to me. I was very upset that I couldn't wear my Easter Sunday dress or my Christmas dresses all the time. It didn't make sense to me that I couldn't wear something pretty all the time.”
On how she got her start:
“I got my start by dressing up on the LA rave scene in the early 1990s. I had a lot of gay friends, and we all loved getting dressed up. For us, dressing-up was theatre.”
On dropping out of college:
“I was already doing what I wanted to do. It seemed silly not to just go with it.”
On posing nude at 18:
“I've never had any personal issues with nudity. As for my parents, well, I paid my credit-card bills on time. I paid my own rent. So there wasn't much they could do.”
On appearing on the Dec. 2002 cover of Playboy:
“That was the real stamp of legitimacy for my dad. For the first time, he could easily explain what I did. It was like, ‘Look, my daughter's on the cover of Playboy.’”
On the future:
“I figure I have a better chance being introduced to somebody through a friend than I do meeting someone in a bar or on the internet…I know I'll fall in love again. And I know that I loved [Marilyn] enough to try and help.”

Well I'm actually of fan on mansons so it's funny when i finally got to see a picture of rachael all I could do is laugh she couldn't hold a candle to dita's beauty. Not to mention I don't believe this relationship will last and as everyone who is 25 and over knows you change when your 18..21..25 so how long until manson realizes he just a young girls fad... of coarse to me she is just a homewrecking.. gold digging..fame seeking...well you know. I know it's harsh but never the less it's true. Dita is better off without him, and as for manson it's time to grow up and deal with the issues..everyone has a story to tell and not everyone spends their whole life crying about it...Dita is a pin-up goddess and rachael is a nobody!!

What can I say...he's a man...maybe its a mid-life thing...who knows but it just shows you that he is a poor example of the male-breed. What a shame, I actually thought they would be together longer. Its funny though too, we all know why he wants a younger girl, "she understand me and lets me be me" please that is a sorry excuse. The real reason is he wants to act like a child with no responsibility and oh yeah..bang a teenager!

OH...I didn't see that..I must read the story then. She interests me..there is something about her so mysterious, but then from reading this article, she is so down to earth.

shasta daisy Says:
It's under the part that says "On Moving Out on Christmas Eve"....She says she didn't want anything from their house including the knife you read about in his interview....
Yeah, that would be horrible...If I'm gonna have a man, I want a MAN. Not a freaky shemale hybrid, ya know?
4:25 PM
Emilem Says:
I didn't see the knife part of the story...what is up with that? Did I miss it somewhere? Could you imagine waking up in the middle of the night have a nightmare and he try to wake you up to protect you and having in those contacts???? LOL..that alone is a nightmare.

shasta daisy Says:
He freaks me out. DOn't think I could go to sleep next to him at nite...I'd be afraid he'd murder me in my sleep. Lol. Seriously.....He's too weird for me. Have you read the interview? I wonder what he said about the knife. That WOULD suck to have someone say they were depressed the hwole time you were married to them...Laying blame much?

I don't know...She is always wearing the corsettes. Its possible. Maybe she has worn them for so long that her body has formed to it.?? :)

Emilem Says:
Hi Shasta....whats going on..I am so bored today!!
3:40 PM
Emilem Says:
I love Dita..she is so classy and sexy. Marilyn is an idiot, but when you are on drugs and partying and have a 19 yr old girlfriend ..its hard to see the reality in things.

I don't care what anyone says, this woman is a class act! She has more class than half of hollywood and her job is removing her clothes in a tasteful way! Hell, there are people that keep their clothes on and STILL don't have as much class as Miss Dita. She will meet the right man, don't worry Dita, sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.

Yikes, Manson freaks me out. He probably likes that though. There is something wrong with him. And at the end of the day he is just midlifeing like most guys. He shouldn't even try to be happy, he is having fun ruining other peoples lives. Ev. Rach. Wo. is a silly foolish girl. Dita, you are the lucky one. And probably the best thing that will ever happen to him. The sick-o blew it and he is gross.

Dita is so beautiful, well spoken and seems she has her life well put together. I like Marilyn as well, he just made a foolish mistake. I think she's very wise to of left, got out of the childish situations. Dita is definitly one of my idols.

Tara Says:
I agree with Amy. She is so well spoken in her interviews and seems like a genuinely nice person. I can't believe she was ever with him! And for him to have an affair with a teenage girl...it is just awful. I really feel for Dita.

I believe her because I couldn't be supportive of that lifestyle either! As for the new tart that he has- that won't last either. She is still a child and in an infatuation with a celebrity. Although, she could find a better one because he is so disgusting!!! Can you imagine lying down next to that thing every night- Talk about nightmares!!!!!

I am on team Dita. her story makes sense whereas his version sounds like revisionist history.by not bashing him back she showed graceand class. not to mention, his interview reads like it was given by an adolescent ....he must be suffering some kind of midlife crisis...its sad.

Manson is almost 40. I think he's outgrown the whole "freak/goth" persona. It had it's day and now it's done.

Amy Says:
I am amazed that such a logical normal sounding person could ever be married to him or to be so sensible and not realize he was a freak to begin with and problems would later surface.
