Phoebe Bridgers accused Marilyn Manson's former record label of "performative activism" for dropping the singer only after several allegations of abuse against him were made public.

Manson - real name Brian Hugh Warner - was dropped by Loma Vista Recordings as well as his talent agency and management last week shortly after actor Evan Rachel Wood, along with several other women, accused the singer of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.

During an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour where she also discussed her recent "SNL" performance, Bridgers said: "I think it's very funny that Marilyn Manson's label decided to drop him right when the story went public, and people have just known about it for so long. I find that very annoying. I think it's a lot of performative activism, basically."

"I think people should take more responsibility internally. It doesn't matter how many people know about it. You should look into things like you're the FBI," Bridgers continued. "But when people make people money, it's really hard - I know - it's really hard to walk away from that. But I think more people should."

Insider has reached out to Loma Vista Recordings for comment.

Phoebe Bridgers previously shared her own experience with Manson in a tweet in which she said she and her friends visited the singer's home and he described one room as his "rape room."

"I went to Marilyn Manson's house when I was a teenager with some friends. I was a big fan. He referred to a room in his house as the 'r*pe room', I thought it was just his horrible frat boy sense of humor," Bridgers wrote.

"The label knew, management knew, the band knew. Distancing themselves now, pretending to be shocked and horrified is fucking pathetic."

Manson has denied all the allegations via a statement on Instagram where he said: "My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual."
