Timeline of Marilyn Manson Abuse Claims: Evan Rachel Wood, Esmé Bianco, and More

Marilyn Manson, the controversial rock musician, is facing numerous accusations of s**ual abuse, assault, and misconduct.

Despite multiple lawsuits filed against him, Manson continues to deny these claims and has yet to face trial.

Over a dozen women have come forward with allegations of s**ual impropriety against Manson, also known as Brian Warner.

Not all of them have taken legal action, but notable figures like “Game of Thrones” star Esmé Bianco, actress Evan Rachel Wood, and Ashley Morgan Smithline have publicly shared their experiences of alleged abuse.

Here is a timeline of recent legal issues and allegations involving Manson:

January 2023: Lawsuit filed for s**ual assault of a minor

On January 30th, a lawsuit was filed in the Nassau County Supreme Court in Long Island, New York, accusing Manson of s**ual assault and rape.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims the abuse began when she was 16 years old and continued for several years.

Interscope Music Publishing and Nothing Records, Manson's former representatives, are also named as defendants.

Doe alleges that they were aware of Manson's abusive behavior but chose to promote it for financial gain.

Manson's attorney, Howard King, argues that the accuser's allegations lack consistency and credibility.

January 2023: Settlement reached in s**ual assault lawsuit with Esmé Bianco

After nearly two years, Manson and Esmé Bianco, who filed a s**ual assault lawsuit against him and his company, reached a settlement in January.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Bianco, known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” accused Manson of rape and physical and verbal abuse dating back to 2007.

She claimed Manson subjected her to deprivation of food and sleep, alcohol and drug consumption, confinement, whipping, cutting, electric shocks, and attempts to coerce her into non-consensual s**ual activities.

May 2022: Case dismissed against former assistant accusing Manson of s**ual battery

In May 2022, a judge dismissed a case brought by Manson's former assistant, Ashley Walters, who accused him of s**ual assault, battery, and harassment.

The judge ruled in favor of Manson, stating that Walters had too few facts and filed her claims too late.

Walters' lawyers expressed disappointment with the decision, claiming it could limit abuse victims' access to justice.

They emphasized that the court focused on the timeliness of the claims rather than their merits.

March 2022: Evan Rachel Wood alleges abuse, Manson sues for defamation

Manson sued his former fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, for defamation, emotional distress, and internet impersonation in March 2022.

This was prior to the release of Wood's HBO documentary, “Phoenix Rising,” where she detailed her abusive relationship with Manson.

Wood accused Manson of forcing her to drink his blood, assaulting her with a Nazi whip, and subjecting her to electric shocks.

In response, Manson filed a lawsuit accusing Wood and artist Illma Gore of using falsified evidence to portray him as a rapist and abuser.

He alleged that they forged an FBI investigation letter and created a fake email account to support their allegations.

November 2021: Police search Manson's house

Authorities searched Manson's residence in November 2021 after multiple women accused him of physical and s**ual abuse.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department conducted the search, but no further details were provided.

The investigation began in February 2021 following reports of domestic violence between 2009 and 2011 when Manson resided in West Hollywood.

July 2021: Manson turns himself in on assault charges

In July 2021, Manson turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department on assault charges.

These charges were based on acts that allegedly occurred during a concert in Gilford, New Hampshire.

The accusations were not s**ual in nature and involved a videographer subcontracted to film the show.

Manson's attorney dismissed the claims as ludicrous but stated his commitment to cooperating with the authorities.

May 2021: Marilyn Manson accused of physical abuse and rape by Ashley Morgan Smithline

In May 2021, model Ashley Morgan Smithline accused Manson of s**ual, emotional, and physical abuse during their past relationship.

She detailed instances of rape, biting, and whipping in an interview with People magazine.

Smithline provided emails and messages that she claims prove her relationship with Manson lasted over two years.

A spokesperson for Manson denied these allegations, stating that their relationship lasted less than a week.

These are just some of the allegations and legal issues surrounding Marilyn Manson.

As more individuals come forward, the public and legal scrutiny surrounding his behavior continues to grow.
