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."
