I don’t think either of us were ever intending for that to be seen, it was more of a camera test. I would not make a video of that nature, nor would Eli. And it really strongly stands out of place, it doesn’t really make sense. He said that the makers of the rape scene then “put it together with my other clips.

He added: “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.” He said he and Roth, the director, had wanted to make a video with Lana Del Rey, but were unable to because “she was being such a problem”. Manson’s representatives had already said he was not involved in the video, but this is the first time he has spoken about it himself. “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.” “We could only take the tamest pieces of what we did.' That echoes comments Roth made last year, when he was interviewed by Larry King said the footage he'd shot with Manson and Del Rey was 'so sick, it's been locked in a vault for over a year.' ('All true,' Lansky told Wondering Sound.)Īdditionally, Lansky wouldn't confirm or deny that the Lana footage was originally intended for a Marilyn video.“It wasn’t a Marilyn Manson video,” he singer said. 'You’re not seeing all of the footage,” he said. In an interview with Wondering Sound, Alan Lasky of the production company Sturmgruppe, who originally posted the video, said that there's more footage, and that it's more disturbing than what's surfaced. I'm pretty sure that the other two people involved were less pleased than I was, because I really had nothing to do with it. And I think that this was a grand mistake on the person who put it with my videos. And, obviously, you can make 'Lana Del Rape' jokes that have been in the headlines and things like that.

I'm a person that would beat somebody's ass if they raped somebody that I know. But I don't think either one of us were ever intending for that to be seen, it was more of a camera test. I would not make a video of that nature, because I think it's not. And it really strongly stands out of place, it doesn't really make sense. But the people put it together with my other clips.
