Marilyn Manson’s penalty for pursuing failed defamation and emotional distress allegations against Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood and artist Illma Gore has ballooned to nearly half a million dollars.
The hefty legal tab first hit six figures back on Jan. 29, when a Los Angeles judge ordered Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, to pay $326,956 for the fees Wood racked up defending against the claims struck last May from Warner’s still-pending lawsuit against the two women. On Thursday, the same judge ordered Warner to pay an additional $169,408 to compensate Gore’s lawyers,...

A judge has ordered that Marilyn Manson must pay Evan Rachel Wood‘s legal fees for her defense against his defamation lawsuit against her — the bulk of which was previously tossed out.
Manson will foot the $326,956 bill for Wood’s defense against the defamation and emotional distress claims that were struck from his lawsuit last year. The order came down from Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Teresa A. Beaudet at a hearing on Monday (January 29th), as reported by Rolling Stone.
The same judge dismissed much of the case last May. Manson’s defamation suit followed the actress’ claims of abuse during the one-time couple’s relationship from 2007 to 2010 — claims that were protected by the First Amendment and California’s anti-slapp law and its protections on individual free speech, according to the judge.
Judge Beaudet did trim off $60k from Wood’s reimbursement claims, stating that some descriptions for billed hours were too “vague.

A California judge has tossed out most of Marilyn Manson’s defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood following the actress’ claims of abuse during the one-time couple’s relationship from 2007 to 2010.
“The Court grants Wood’s special motion to strike in part,” rule Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa A. Beaudet in the tentative order [via Deadline], which invoked California’s anti-slapp law and its protections on individual free speech.
Manson’s defamation suit from March 2022 alleged that Wood penned a fake FBI letter and a checklist for other alleged Manson abuse victims — both of which have been tossed out with the latest motion. It’s another loss for the Manson camp, which was previously not allowed to add Ashley Morgan Smithline’s about-face recantation as a new declaration to the lawsuit.

Evan Rachel Wood will not have to face defamation claims from Marilyn Manson accusing her of manufacturing a conspiracy to portray him as a serial abuser who has sexually assaulted several women.
At the center of the dispute were allegations that Wood and her friend Illma Gore lied to prospective accusers to encourage them to come forward with sexual assault allegations against the musician, namely by saying that he filmed the assault of a minor in a 1996 short film he made called Groupie. In a tentative ruling adopted by the court on Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa Beaudet tossed claims against Wood under a law providing for the dismissal of suits arising out of protected speech.

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson just got a legal shock as a California judge tossed out most of the fading musician’s defamation case against Evan Rachel Wood over the Westworld actress’ claims of abuse during the former couple’s relationship.

Emphasizing the Golden State’s anti-slapp statute and its protect of individual free speech, Judge Beaudet took a lot of the guts out of Manson a.k.a. Brian Warner’s suit of March 2022. While Manson’s case can proceed on the remaining counts, the big-ticket items are pretty much dead, at least for now.

Evan Rachel Wood says she never pressured Marilyn Manson accuser Ashley Morgan Smithline to make allegations against the musician after the woman recanted her statement earlier this month.
Responding to an earlier filing by Smithline, Wood said in a declaration filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter that she had no contact with Smithline prior to an Oct. 21, 2020, “meeting of survivors” filmed as part of the HBO doc Phoenix Rising.
She added, “I had not met her, I had not communicated with her, and I did not know who she was” prior to Smithline commenting on one of Wood’s March 2019 posts in which the actress discussed the abuse she allegedly experienced at the hands of a man she would later reveal to be Manson (legally known as Brian Warner).

A woman who accused Marilyn Manson of sexual assault has officially retracted her claims, saying fellow accuser Evan Rachel Wood “manipulated” her into implicating the artist.
Model Ashley Morgan Smithline first accused Manson — born Brian Warner — of assault in a People cover story, which detailed numerous instances of graphic abuse throughout the couple’s two-year relationship. The report came after Wood, another ex of Manson’s, came forward with her own harrowing experience with the singer, prompting over 10 more women to do the same.
Now, however, Smithline — via a statement filed by Manson’s lawyers — says the abuse never happened, and that she “succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against Mr. Warner that were not true.”

One of Marilyn Manson’s accusers has come forward, claiming that her previous claims of sexual abuse were made up.
Ashley Morgan Smithline, who appeared on the cover of People magazine back in May 2021 alongside the headline “I survived a monster,” at the time claimed she was horribly abused by Manson. In the cover story, she alleged that, while she was sleeping, the musician had tied her up and raped her, drank her blood and carved his initials into her thigh.
“I was brainwashed, and it makes me feel disgusting,” she said in the story, which also displayed a photo of her scar.
However, Smithline has now renounced her allegations in a three-page declaration that was filed in court on Thursday.

Marilyn Manson accuser Ashley Morgan Smithline has recanted her sexual abuse allegations against the musician.
In a Los Angeles Superior Court filing, Smithline states she was “manipulated” by actress and ex-Manson fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and others to accuse Manson of sexual and physical abuse. “I succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against [Manson] that were not true,” she says in the Feb. 19 declaration that has been obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The statement, part of a lawsuit from Manson against Wood and Illma Gore, comes a month after a separate lawsuit against Manson from Smithline was dismissed. Smithline tells the court that she had a “brief, consensual sexual relationship with Brian Warner,” who is also known as Marilyn Manson, in Nov. 2010.

Evan Rachel Wood is opening up about her experience being “publicly gaslit” for coming forward with abuse allegations against Marilyn Manson.
On a new episode of Jameela Jamil’s podcast “I Weigh,” the actor dived deep into the “re-traumatizing” but necessary process of being involved in a sexual abuse investigation.
Manson (real name Brian Hugh Warner) and Wood were publicly in a relationship from 2006 to 2010, and Wood named Manson as her alleged abuser in February 2021. Soon after, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that Manson was under investigation for domestic violence. Wood has recently released a documentary on HBO, “Phoenix Rising,” which follows her journey to pass the Phoenix Act — a bill that extends the statute of limitations in domestic violence — in the California senate. In conversation with Jamil, Wood detailed her experience of being questioned about the alleged abuse.

Amy Berg’s two-part HBO documentary “Phoenix Rising” finds Evan Rachel Wood reflecting on her abuse allegations against Marilyn Manson. New details from the documentary’s second part (airing March 16 on HBO) have emerged courtesy of Insider and the New York Post, including Wood’s allegation that Manson told her to make him dinner right after she got an abortion. Wood became pregnant with Manson’s child while making the 2011 HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce.”
“He flew out for the abortion. I was just so scared and sad,” Wood says in the documentary. “I obviously believe in a woman’s right to choose, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t devastating…The second it was over [he] was like, ‘Make me dinner.’ And I remember being like, ‘I’m supposed to be resting — my body has gone through this trauma, there’s aftermath here.’ And he didn’t care.”

“Phoenix Rising” should absolutely disturb you. Conversations about domestic violence are not easy, mostly because harming young women especially has warranted little alarm in our culture. That’s one of the illuminating truths of this first installment of the two-part documentary playing at Sundance before airing in full on HBO later. To relay this message, acclaimed “Westworld” actress Evan Rachel Wood lays bare her own life.
Wood kicks off the discussion with an intimate conversation: Looking through pictures alongside a friend in a work room, Wood alludes to the impact of the abuse she says she’s suffered by sharing how difficult it is to view images of herself from before. “This is the stuff that makes me cry,” she says before sharing a picture of her with her first boyfriend. “It’s always hard for me to look at photos of myself from before,” she says through tears.

Indecline, an activist collective based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, first made a name for themselves in 2016. That summer, inspired by the farcical campaign of Donald Trump — and the art they’d seen during the election season, most notably Illma Gore’s portrait of the future 45, painted in her menstrual blood — the group put on a cross-country show of guerilla art. Early one August morning, teams in five cities simultaneously unveiled unauthorized, six-foot-five statues of Donald Trump, naked, his manhood comically small against the grotesque folds of his nude body.
