Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell break up in 2014 and have since been caught in a prolonged custody dispute over their now 9-year-old son, Jack Matfin Bell. Back in 2022, Jamie stated they’d shared “equal custody” of their son for seven years earlier than, as he claimed, Evan began retaining Jack from him. The 35-year-old Thirteen alum denied these claims. However, she was attempting her hardest to maintain her son along with her at her house in Nashville, Tennessee. But issues have modified.
And it’s apparently all of the fault of her extra notorious ex: Marilyn Manson.

On Thursday, The Blast reported Evan had lastly given up the combat of retaining her son at house and as an alternative relinquished “primary custody” to her ex-husband, who lives in Los Angeles. In the submitting obtained by the outlet, it says:
“[Jack will] primarily live with [Jamie] in Los Angeles, [Wood] shall have custody of Jack one [1] extended weekend per month from Friday, after school or 10:00 a.m.”
Evan will now simply have her son at house just one weekend a month, plus for varsity holidays like spring break — a giant change for certain! The motive this alteration allegedly happened is simply terrible…
Sources dished to the outlet that Evan is now “extremely afraid of putting her son in danger” because of threats Manson, whose actual title is Brian Hugh Warner, made in opposition to the boy. If you’ll recall, in December of 2021 whereas testifying in opposition to the 54-year-old rocker, the Westworld actress claimed that he advised her he would “f**k” her son as a method to “ruin [her] life.” At the time, she stated:
“I took [Manson’s] threat seriously, then and now. I am looking into attack dogs and security guards at night.”
Just disgusting. Of course, although, he has denied these claims, in addition to all of her different allegations of abuse… And the allegations from different ladies, too…
Evan talked about her worry for Jack’s security in her 2021 testimony, particularly noting a number of the worst accusations in opposition to Manson:
“I only recently learned that [Manson] was involved in human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of minors on a large scale. These new developments, combined with the pending criminal investigation, lead me to be very concerned about our child’s safety when in Los Angeles.”
In custody courtroom this month, the Phoenix Rising documentary topic went into element about how all of this makes her really feel:
“I am a key witness in a pending criminal investigation. In connection with the investigation, I allege that I was the victim of torture, rape, and pedophilic grooming by an intentionally known public figure. I am extremely afraid of the alleged offender. I have suffered a severe, traumatic physical and emotional injury at his hands, and I am afraid that he will seek retribution against me for testifying by harming me, our son, and members of our family.”
Evan additionally claimed investigators advised her straight that her household was in peril. So, so unhappy.
We’re certain Jamie is completely satisfied to see his son extra. However, he does NOT agree along with his ex-wife’s reasoning and wrote in his personal submitting:
“Whatever fears Evan may have regarding third parties should have nothing to do with me or custody of our son. I do not even want to think of the short- and long-term psychological harm Evan might be inflicting upon Jack with this kind of talk and my prolonged separation from him.”
The actress filed again, and wrote she by no means stored her son away from his father, however she does have “real and deep concerns” in the event that they reside in LA. It appears like Dad doesn’t share these issues in any respect…
Such a scary scenario. We actually hope this works out in the very best curiosity for each Evan and Jack. Thoughts?
