screening for the wrestler

Nov 6th: AFI Fest Screening of The Wrestler

Last week, some rumours about Evan dumping Manson have surfaced. The story was that he had kicked her brother, Ira, out of their house. And for Evan that was tipping point and she was sick of Manson's controlling and emotionally abusive behavior.

Evan released an official statement to People mag:

"Manson and I both decided to take some time apart so we could concentrate on work. Someone used that opportunity to kick us while we were down and sell a completely false story. Manson owns the house he lives in. My brother has never stayed there and the person that said such horrible things about Manson being 'controlling' and 'emotionally abusive' is certainly no source 'close' to me. Manson has been by my side and taken care of me through the best and worst times. I love him as a person and as an artist. I will always be proud to have been a part of that. If any more attacks are made on us, it is the act of a desperate, selfish person, who is angry to no longer be a part of my life. No further comment will be made and we request our privacy at this time."



And now, enjoy some pictures of Evan attending the screening for The Wrestler at the AFI Fest, last Thursday.
