I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail.” The three-time Emmy nominee further claimed she was “groomed” by Manson when they met in 2006, when she was 18 and he was 37.Some die-hard Depp supporters have taken to Twitter noting what they allege are similarities between Heard and Wood, claiming that Manson could be a victim of false accusations, just as they believe Depp to be.
