Dita Von Teese wouldn't want to 'expose' some people in her memoir
Dita Von Teese wants to pen an autobiography - but she doesn't want to "expose" some people's "f****** s***".
The 52-year-old burlesque star was married to controversial rocker Marilyn Manson - who police decided not to pursue criminal charges against, after he escaped criminal charges following a four-year investigation into allegations he was an abuser - and Dita has insisted there are people she wouldn't want to write about should she put pen to paper.
Dita - who is starring in Diamonds and Dust on London's West End this month - told The Times newspaper: 'I want to write an autobiography.
'I just want to make sure I get it all right, because I think there's a lot of stuff people don't really know about me.'
Asked if she would be as candid as Ione Skye in her memoirs, in which she spilled all on her romances with John Cusack and the late Matthew Perry, she replied: 'I don't know.
'There are some people who I don't want to expose their f****** s***.'
Dita - who has been with her current partner, graphic designer Adam Rajcevich, since 2014 - admits everyone she knows has a MeToo story, herself included.
She said of the movement 'My male friends, when all the MeToo stuff was happening, were like, 'Did anything like that ever happen to you?' And I'm like, 'Yeah!'
'Every single friend I have has a story. Like, everybody has a story, and you were just expected to go along with it or just laugh it off, you know?'
The MeToo movement was sparked in 2017 in the wake of The New York Times and The New Yorker exposing the sexual abuse allegations against jailed Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Dita insisted she was not subjected to abuse during her relationship and marriage to Manson, insisting they divorced due to "infidelity and drug abuse".
In a statement about the allegations made against her ex, Dita said at the time: "I have been processing the news that broke Monday regarding Marilyn Manson.
"To those who have expressed your concerns of my well-being, I appreciate your kindness.
"Please know that the details made public do not match my personal experience during our 7 years together as a couple.
"Had they, I would not have married him in December 2005. I left 12 months later due to infidelity and drug abuse."
She continued: "Abuse of any kind has no place in any relationship. I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal and the strength to fully realize yourself.
Dita concluded: "This is my sole statement on this matter. Thank you for respecting this request."

Jordan Stephens is 'super in love' with Jade Thirlwall
Jordan Stephens and Jade Thirlwall are still "super in love" after five years together. The Rizzle Kicks star has opened up about his relationship with former Little Mix singer revealing they are still incredibly happy together after they started dating back in 2020. He told The Times newspaper: "I've been with my girlfriend, Jade, for five years and we are super in love. She's solo now but she was in Little Mix ... My mum obviously loves her too." Jordan also opened up about his past battles with drug abuse revealing he's been sober since 2018 and now he treats himself to a pastry if he's feeling down instead of turning to illegal substances like he did after shooting to fame as a teenager. He said: "Becoming famous so suddenly at 19 was a shock. It was positive in a hedonistic way but I wish I could have felt more present ... "I went sober in 2018. I was heartbroken; I had cheated and my relationship was over. I spoke to my mum about having suicidal thoughts ... " He added: "Now if I'm going through something my spirals are filled with croissants not cocaine." Jordan has been supporting Jade since she launched a solo music career after Little Mix parted ways, and she gave him a special mention when she accepted her first solo BRIT Award earlier this year. Jade has previous credited the musician with being her biggest supporter as he helps her whenever she has feelings of self doubt. According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, Jade said: "Something that Jordan taught me, whenever I'm feeling anxious or my self-saboteur is coming out, Jordan is always like, 'Just think of Little Jade, and look at what you've achieved. "'Little Jade from South Shields has done this? That's crazy'. That's always stuck with me. I have words of affirmation in my bedroom and one of them says, 'Little Jade is really proud of you'. "Any time I feel like s*** that really gets me through." Jade explained that Jordan's words of encouragement have helped her just as much as self-help books. She said: "I feel like you read every self-help book, you have therapy, you speak to people but sometimes you forget about yourself. "You forget that there was a little version of yourself and if they were watching what you've done with your life now they would be like, 'Oh my gosh, I never thought I could achieve this'."

The Boss brands Trump 'moron' in latest scathing attack
Bruce Springsteen has branded President Donald Trump a "moron" in a new scathing attack. The Born in the USA hitmaker, who has been locked in war of words with the world leader, has branded the current state of his home country an "American tragedy" and lambasted the man in charge. "I think that it was the combination of the deindustrialisation of the country and then the incredible increase in wealth disparity that left so many people behind. It was ripe for a demagogue," Springsteen told The New York Times. "And while I can't believe it was this moron that came along, he fit the bill for some people. But what we've been living through in the last 70 days is things that we all said, 'This can't happen here.' 'This will never happen in America.' And here we are." The Boss then went in on Trump's controversial immigration policies, which led to riots in Los Angeles, and saw Trump deploy thousands of National Guardsmen to "address the lawlessness" in the US city amid the unrest over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He said: "When I went to California, obviously there was a large migrant culture. I was interested in the history of it, because I felt that this is the future of the United States — which it has become." Springsteen said it's "disgusting" and a "terrible tragedy" what's happening in US. He continued: "There are communities all across America now that have taken in immigrants and migrant workers. So what's going on at the moment to me is disgusting, and a terrible tragedy. "We have a long democratic history. We don't have an autocratic history as a nation. It's fundamentally democratic, and I believe that at some point that's going to rear its head and things will swing back. Let's knock on wood." Trump, 78, was left furious after The Boss, 75, hit out at the "corruption" and "incompetence" of the Trump administration during a recent concert in Manchester, and Trump responded with a lengthy rant via his social media platform Truth Social. Trump blasted Springsteen as a "pushy, obnoxious JERK". Springsteen made three separate rants against the "corruption" and "incompetence" of the Trump administration. After opening the gig with a performance of Land of Hope and Dreams, he told the audience: "It's great to be in Manchester and back in the UK. Welcome to the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour! The mighty E St Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock 'n' roll in dangerous times." A short while after, several musicians spoke out in support of Springsteen, including Neil Young, who insisted he wasn't "scared" of Trump.
