Marilyn Manson has denied any involvement in the controversial film that emerged yesterday, thought to directed by Eli Roth, which sees Lana Del Rey in a violent rape scene, cut with footage of the Goth rocker. Mr Roth appeared to refer to the newly-released film back in 2013 when he told Larry King in an interview: 'I shot a video with Marilyn Manson and Lana Del Rey,' and added, 'the footage is so sick, it's been locked in a vault for over a year.' 'Manson did not direct this, shoot it, nor was it for a Marilyn Manson video or outtake footage made by him or to be used by him with his music,' Manson's representative Kathryn Frazier told Billboard.
