Evan Rachel Wood did an acoustic performance of the New Radicals hit 'You Get What You Give,' and also delivered a message to ex-fiancé Marilyn Manson.
"For my fellow survivors who got slapped in the face this week," she wrote."I love you. Don't give up."
She began the hushed performance at the Bourbon Room in Los Angeles by telling the audience,"I've been saving this, but it seems like an appropriate time." Reading the lyrics from her phone, Wood, 33, sang the chorus in a melancholy croon,"You've got the music in you/ Don't let go/ You've got the music in you/ One dance left/ This world is gonna pull through/ Don't give up/ You've got a reason to live/ Can't forget/ We only get what we give.
But it was what Wood did near the end of the song during a line that mentions disgraced shock rocker Manson that drew the most attention. Her voice rising to a bellow, Wood raised her left hand and flipped the bird as she got to the lyric about the singer born Brian Hugh Warner, 52, whom she has accused of sexual and emotional assault.

Manson has repeatedly denied the allegations. star Wood named Manson as her alleged abuser."I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives. I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent," she shared via on Feb 1. Wood and Manson had a relationship when the actress was 18 and Manson was 36, and the pair were briefly engaged in 2010.
Manson denied her charges, responding in a statement on Instagram:"Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are 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 misinterpret the past, that is the truth.
