Part 2: "Stand Up"

During their relationship, Manson allegedly hacked into Wood's emails and had people watching her.
Wood also alleges that Manson would isolate her in his house for months. As a result, Wood says she got really sick and couldn't get out of bed. Wood also alleges that Manson began raping her in her sleep during this time.
Wood found out she was pregnant when she left to film 2011's "Mildred Pierce." "He flew out for the abortion. I was just so scared and sad. I obviously believe in a woman's right to choose, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't devastating," Wood says. "The second it was over it was like, 'Make me dinner.' And I remember being like, 'I'm supposed to be resting. My body's gone through this trauma. There's aftermath here.'" According to Wood, that's when she started "getting really suicidal," so she eventually checked herself into a mental health facility.
Wood left Manson for good when she went off to film 2011's "The Ides of March." Manson allegedly called her yelling when she was on set, but Wood hung up on him and changed her number. "That was it. That was the last time. That was my last leaving," she recalls. Wood ended up reconnecting with Bell shortly after.
Despite breaking things off with Manson, Wood still suffered from PTSD. "My night terrors were really bad. I had a lot of chronic pain. I would lie about things that I didn't need to lie about and I didn't know why, so I went downhill. I put myself in therapy three times a week," she says. "I don't know if I would have dove into self-help that deeply had I not been so desperately trying to keep our relationship together. Jamie and I loved each other so much. I couldn't fathom a life that didn't involve him." Wood and Bell were together for a couple of years before they eventually had a wedding ceremony in 2012, though they were never legally married. They welcomed their son in 2013, but ended up separating a year later.
Authorities launched an investigation into the claims made against Manson, but no charges have been brought against him.
