Lana Del Rey rape scene which was leaked online several weeks ago seems to be a part of a music video of "Summertime Sadness" singer as the background music is the voice of the singer. If you haven't watched it, checked the video below.
As you can see in the video, the first popular artist you will notice is Marilyn Manson. Later on, a footage appears where Lana Del Rey is being assaulted by "Hostel" director Eli Roth.
Since the leaked video includes some shots of artist Marilyn Manson or Brian Hugh Warner in real life, and the director of "Hostel" claimed "I shot a video with Marilyn Manson ... and the footage is so sick it's been locked in a vault for a year," many people think that the songwriter has something to do with why the video became viral.
However, Manson's rep denied the allegations. They said "it must be a music video that a fan spliced up."
The songwriter is still sticking to his explanation to NME, "It wasn't a Marilyn Manson video. The editor of the company that put it out was somebody who's edited my videos, that video was something that was done with a camera that Eli, who's my friend, and I both wanted to test out, so I let him test it out... What they filmed was put in context seemingly as if it were a Marilyn Manson video, and that was in no way the intention.
Eli and I wanted to do a music video with [Lana Del Rey], but she was being such a problem. Although I still respect her, I'm friends with her. I just left, I was tired, I was not willing to make that part of the video. Eli and I originally had intentions of making a video with her. But that is not the intention that is represented in that film clip because that is not what I filmed, not for my video."
The statements given by the songwriter and director become more confusing according to RYOT.
What do you think about different the explanation of the director and songwriter about Lana Del Rey rape scene?
