As a long-time follower of the music industry and a strong advocate for women’s rights, I find it refreshing to see justice being served in this case. The fact that Evan Rachel Wood stood her ground against Marilyn Manson’s defamation suit speaks volumes about her courage and resilience. It’s heartening to see the legal system protect victims from being silenced or intimidated, as was attempted here.
Marilyn Manson, formerly known as Brian Warner, has withdrawn his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood. The musician dropped this suit following accusations of abuse made by Wood. In addition, Manson will cover over $300,000 in legal costs for Wood. Attorneys representing Wood stated that Manson initially proposed a settlement earlier this year, but the agreement would have required confidentiality, which Wood declined. According to lawyers for Wood, Manson’s intention was to discredit his multiple accusers and revive his flagging career by suing Wood. However, his attempt to intimidate and silence Ms. Wood proved unsuccessful. An attorney for Manson expressed satisfaction with the decision to abandon the case, saying it allows him to move past this chapter in his life.
Last year, Manson’s lawsuit was significantly weakened under California’s anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) law, a legal measure designed to safeguard individuals such as abuse victims against lawsuits being employed as an intimidation method. In January, the court mandated that Manson pay Wood $326,956 in attorney fees to cover the dismissed charges from his case. Subsequently, he filed an appeal in August.
2021 saw Amber Heard as the initial and foremost individual to accuse Marilyn Manson of sexual misconduct, which included rape allegations. Over a dozen other women have since emerged with similar accusations, and in 2022, Heard produced a documentary detailing her claims. One accusation dropped from the lawsuit the previous year was that Heard had coerced women to make accusations against Manson. In their recent statement, Heard’s legal team pointed out that the court deemed Manson’s assertion regarding Heard’s recruitment of accusers as groundless.
