Unfortunately, the Decapitated case isn't the only one involving rape accusations in the metal world. Marilyn Manson's long-time bassist Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White), who also played in Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle, has been accused of rape, according to Variety. Jessicka Addams, lead singer in the band Jack Off Jill and his former girlfriend, detailed the alleged assault in a lengthy Facebook post.

According to Jessicka Addams, they entered into a relationship in the '90s when she was 18 that became physically violent in the following months and years. She detailed a pattern of abuse that began with jealousy and escalated into hitting her repeatedly.

During a tour break with Nine Inch Nails, who White also played with, the musician allegedly visited Addams at their friend Pete's apartment. "He forced me on to the floor with his hand around my neck," she wrote. "I said NO. I said NO. I said it so loud enough, that Pete came rushing in from the other room to get him off of me. But I had been raped. I had been raped by somebody I thought I loved."

Addams also said that after making vague allusions to abuse in an interview with Alternative Press Magazine, other women came forward with stories of abuse from White.

Excerpt of Jessicka Addams' Facebook post: "I have lived with the overwhelming shame and guilt of being raped for well over 20 years now. Like many survivors, I unknowingly hid an abusive relationship in a most unhealthy way, masking it behind a fun loving, creatively artistic facade I struggled to wear on the outside world. Since I roamed in similar musical circles and shared many friends with this rapist, the shock of bumping into him in social situations would leave me sick to my stomach. I'd sometimes find myself drinking too much to pretend he was not there. These unbearable occurrences often tested my own limits or my strengths, yet I found my own weakened behavior seemingly sickened me every unfortunate time I found myself in the same room as him. I did not want him to own the power I assumed was his in every unwarranted encounter, so I eventually compartmentalized the recurring nightmares of running into my rapist, Jeordie White.

"In 1997, I was warned by my band's record company that if I revealed my story publically, there would be a very good chance that my band Jack Off Jill would be black balled by concert promoters, radio programmers, and other bands and their managers. Jack Off Jill was also warned of running the risk of losing our coveted record deal (which they gave us!,) as they were certain no one would ever take a rape victim in this male dominated music business seriously, nevermind a ferocious, disenfranchised, outspoken overweight front woman such as myself! The label blatantly feared the big machine behind Marilyn Manson would use their power to destroy not only Jack Off Jill, but my name, Jessicka, as well. The pressure and guilt of the inevitable repercussions of my rape story affecting my band's livelihood, happiness and success kept me silent for years."





Moreover, Marilyn Manson also released a statement to Pitchfork about the accusations. "I knew Jessicka and Jeordie had a romantic relationship many years ago and I considered and still consider Jessicka to be a friend," he said. "I knew nothing about these allegations until very recently and am saddened by Jessicka's obvious distress."
