A Los Angeles judge has thrown out much of Marilyn Manson's defamation case against Evan Rachel Wood, who has accused him of abuse.
The court has granted in part Wood’s motion to strike portions of Manson’s case, according to documents reviewed by The Times. The shock-rock musician — whose real name is Brian Warner — filed a defamation lawsuit against theactor in March 2022 after she publicly accused him of “horrifically” abusing her for years.
This week, the court rejected Manson’s claims that Wood pressured “multiple women to make false accusations” against him and fabricated an FBI letter to support her allegations. The court also found that Manson had not “demonstrated a probability of prevailing on his claims based on alleged defamation against Wood.”In a court filing, ‘Westworld’ star Evan Rachel Wood said she ‘never pressured or manipulated’ Ashley Smithline to make accusations against Marilyn Manson.
Additionally, the court approved a motion by artist Illma Gore to strike Manson’s claim that she engaged in “outrageous conduct” by “making knowingly false and defamatory statements against” him. Gore, a friend of Wood, appeared with the actor in “Phoenix Rising,” a two-part documentary about Wood’s journey to name her alleged abuser. The court found that Manson had not “demonstrated a probability of prevailing on his cause of action for defamation per se against Gore.
“We are very pleased with the Court’s ruling, which affirms and protects Evan’s exercise of her fundamental First Amendment rights,” Wood’s lead attorney, Michael Kump, toldafter Tuesday’s hearing. “As the Court correctly found, [Manson] failed to show that his claims against her have even minimal merit.”
In February, Wood denied model Ashley Morgan Smithline‘s claim that Wood manipulated Smithline into making false accusations of rape and assault against their mutual ex, Manson. Smithline‘s allegation of coercion came after the model’s federal lawsuit against Manson was dismissed because she missed a court deadline to name new counsel.
