\n\tMarilyn Manson <\/a>has dropped his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood <\/a>and agreed to pay her $327,000 in legal fees, according to legal documents obtained by Billboard<\/em>, officially ending a case that the shock rocker first lodged against his former girlfriend more than two and a half years ago.<\/p>\n

\n\tFiled in March 2022, the lawsuit accused Wood of conspiring with another woman, Ashley Gore, to falsely portray Manson (real name Brian Warner) as a \u201crapist and abuser\u201d in the public eye. Both women appeared in the 2022 documentary Phoenix Rising<\/em>, in which Wood detailed her accusations of sexual abuse against the singer. The lawsuit claimed that both women \u201csecretly recruited, coordinated, and pressured prospective accusers to emerge simultaneously with allegations of rape and abuse against Manson, and brazenly claim that it took 10 or more years to \u2018realize\u2019 their consensual relationships with Warner were supposedly abusive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut Manson\u2019s lawsuit suffered a major blow in May 2023 after a judge largely sided with Wood in her move to have it thrown out by invoking California\u2019s anti-SLAPP statute, which makes it easier for judges to dismiss cases that threaten free speech. In that ruling, the judge struck down much of Manson\u2019s case after finding that the rocker had not shown he would ultimately be able to prove many of his accusations against Wood. Manson had appealed that decision<\/a> this past August.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMarilyn Manson \u2014 whose real name is Brian Warner \u2014 filed a lawsuit against Ms. Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career,\u201d Wood\u2019s lawyer Michael J. Kump<\/strong> said in a statement sent to Billboard<\/em>. \u201cBut his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms. Wood failed. As the trial court correctly found, Warner\u2019s claims were meritless. Warner\u2019s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms. Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his own statement, Manson\u2019s attorney Howard King<\/strong> said, \u201cAfter 4 years of fighting\u00a0a battle where he was able to tell the truth, Brian\u00a0is pleased to dismiss his still-pending claims and appeal in order to close\u00a0the door on this chapter of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe public battle between Manson and Wood kicked off in February 2021, when Wood claimed in an Instagram post that Manson \u201cstarted grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years.\u201d In addition to Wood\u2019s accusations, Manson has been hit with multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits over the last several years from women including former assistant Ashley Walters, model Ashley Morgan Smithline, Game of Thrones<\/em> actress Esme Bianco and two Jane Doe accusers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe majority of these cases are no longer active. In May 2022, a judge dismissed Walters\u2019 lawsuit, citing the statute of limitations. Manson subsequently settled with both Bianco and one of the Jane Doe accusers, while Smithline recanted her allegations and claimed that Wood and others had \u201cmanipulated\u201d her into bringing them.<\/p>\n

\n\tManson has denied all of the allegations against him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
