Marilyn Manson files lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood over abuse allegations
03 March 2022
Marilyn Manson has accused Evan Rachel Wood of defamation in a new lawsuit.
In February 2021, the Westworld actress claimed on Instagram that the musician had been emotionally, physically, and sexually abusive during their relationship, which lasted from 2007 until 2010. Soon after, four other women filed civil suits against Manson, real name Brian Warner, with the cases still ongoing. Manson's legal team has denied all allegations.
In addition, Manson, 53, claimed Wood and Gore had impersonated a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent by "forging and distributing a fictitious letter" to create the "false appearance that Warner's alleged 'victims' and their families were in danger".
Representatives for Wood have not yet responded to the lawsuit.
