Evan Rachel Wood is sharing more about the sexual abuse she says she experienced from ex Marilyn Manson in a new documentary.

Part 1 of the film Phoenix Rising premiered Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival (the entire documentary debuts in full on HBO in March). In it, the three-time Golden Globe nominee, 34, discussed being groomed into a tumultuous relationship with Manson (born Brian Warner), from mid-2006 until early 2011. She likened it to being under the influence of his "cult."

Wood recalled that Manson's "first crime" against her allegedly took place while filming the now-53-year-old rocker's 2007 "Heart-Shaped Glasses" music video when she was 19.

"It's nothing like I thought it was going to be," Wood said in the music video. "We're doing things that were not what was pitched to me. ... We had discussed a simulated sex scene, but once the cameras were rolling, he started penetrating me for real. I had never agreed to that. I'm a professional actress, I've been doing this my whole life; I've never been on a set that unprofessional in my life up until this day."

"It was complete chaos," she continued. "I did not feel safe. No one was looking after me. It was a really traumatizing experience filming the video. I didn't know how to advocate for myself or know how to say no because I had been conditioned and trained to never talk back, to just soldier through."

Wood said that afterward she "felt disgusting and that I had done something shameful, and I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do."

Wood is among at least 15 women who have accused Manson of sexual assault and he has since been hit with three lawsuits by his accusers, including his ex-girlfriend Ashley Morgan Smithline and Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco.

Manson has denied all allegations, which he called "horrible distortions of reality."

"My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth," he said.
