\t\t\t\t\tMarilyn Manson Fined For Spitting ‘Big Lougee’ at\u00a0Camerawoman\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cBrian is pleased that, just as previous lawsuits were abandoned without payment or settled for pennies on the dollar, this plaintiff has now agreed to drop her suit in exchange for an insurance payment representing a fraction of her demands and far less than the cost to Brian of proceeding to trial,\u201d Manson\u2019s attorney Howard King<\/strong> shared in a press statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the news, Doe told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> in a statement, \u201cI was fully prepared for trial and never in a million years thought I would ever settle, but over the past two-and-a-half years I have silently endured threats, bullying, harassment and various forms of intimidation that have intensified over the past few weeks.\u201d She noted that Manson attended her deposition and that she was \u201cforced to answer seven hours of aggressive questioning with him staring at me from across the table.\u201d She continued, \u201cI\u2019ve been told that this almost never happens, as it\u2019s cruel, and that a main reason for it would be to intimidate and inflict emotional distress on a victim.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI never cared about money and only ever wanted justice, but if we had gone to trial, I could have lost my right to anonymity and been victim-blamed on a large and public scale,\u201d she added. \u201cMost importantly I could have risked losing the freedom to tell my story, and that is worth more than anything in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDoe initially filed a lawsuit against Manson (real name Brian Warner) in June 2021 for allegedly raping and torturing her in 2011. In the complaint, she claimed that for 10 years, she had repressed memories of being raped by Manson and only recovered\u00a0them in February 2021 when other women stepped forward with accusations against him.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe woman\u2019s complaint further claimed that following the alleged assault, Manson threatened to kill her, saying\u00a0he would \u201cbash her head in.\u201d\u00a0It went on to state that he said he would \u201cget away with it\u201d because he was a \u201ccelebrity who had contacts with the police.\u201d\u00a0She also alleged that Manson\u00a0kept in almost constant contact with her and deprived her of food, claiming he told her\u00a0\u201cthat\u00a0because she was his girlfriend, she needed to lose weight because her weight embarrassed him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn September 2021, however, the lawsuit was dismissed<\/a>\u00a0by Judge\u00a0Gregory Keosian<\/strong>, who stated that the accuser\u2019s claims of repressed memories were \u201cnot sufficient\u201d\u00a0to overrule the two-year statute of\u00a0limitations.\u00a0While Keosian stated that the claim of repressed memories \u201cis common for sexual assault victims,\u201d he ruled that more was needed to invoke California\u2019s \u201cdelayed-discovery\u201d rule. The rule effectively postpones the start date of the statute of limitations if the plaintiff can prove that they first became aware of the injury within two years of filing their complaint, regardless of when the incident itself took place. The judge gave her 20 days from the ruling to amend and refile her complaint, and it was refiled eight days later<\/a> with more information about her repressed memories. <\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past two years, Manson has been hit with sexual assault lawsuits by multiple women, including Game of Thrones<\/em> actress and former girlfriend Esme Bianco, his former personal assistant Ashley Walters and ex-girlfriend Ashley Morgan Smithline. The lawsuits filed by Walters and Smithline have since been dismissed, while Manson settled with Bianco in January. Smithline later recanted her accusations<\/a> and claimed that Manson\u2019s former girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood \u2014 whose initial allegation of sexual abuse by Manson in February 2021 opened up a tidal wave of similar claims against the singer \u2014 had pressured her to make the claim, which Wood later denied. Smithline\u2019s recantation tied in with a March 2022 defamation lawsuit Manson had filed against Wood that accused the actress of launching an \u201corganized attack\u201d against him, but a judge dismissed much of that lawsuit<\/a> this past May.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tStories about sexual assault allegations can be traumatizing for survivors of sexual assault. If you or anyone you know needs support, you can reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims.
