As a seasoned gamer who has navigated countless virtual worlds, I must admit that watching real-life dramas unfold can sometimes feel like playing through a particularly intense RPG quest. The latest chapter in this ongoing saga between Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood is no exception.
It appears that Marilyn Manson has chosen to withdraw his defamation case against actress Evan Rachel Wood. This move concludes a legal standoff that spanned more than two years. The recent turn of events follows an extended disagreement, with both sides apparently reaching an accord in private negotiations. However, the specifics of the settlement remain undisclosed.
Here is more about Manson’s lawsuit against Wood.
Marilyn Manson is reportedly no longer suing Evan Rachel Wood
Marilyn Manson’s lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood for defamation has been withdrawn, putting an end to a two-year long courtroom battle. On November 19, 2024, they reached an agreement where Manson agreed to pay Wood around $327,000 to cover her legal expenses. After numerous years of legal disputes, Manson, through his lawyer, expressed gratitude for resolving this matter.
In response, a representative for Wood issued a sharp remark. They labeled Manson’s lawsuit as a strategic move aimed at undermining her reputation and shifting focus from the charges against him. The statement further noted: “Just as the trial court rightly determined, Warner’s claims were baseless. Warner’s choice to eventually drop his lawsuit and pay Wood her full fee award of approximately $327,000 serves as proof of this.” (Paraphrased by me)
The legal conflict initiated in March 2022 stemmed from Wood’s public claims that Manson had sexually abused her while they were together, a relationship that started when she was 18. In his counterclaim, Manson alleged that both Wood and her partner, Illma Gore, masterminded false accusations against him, including the forging of evidence. This defamation case was one among several allegations made by at least 15 women, all of whom accused Manson of inappropriate sexual behavior, which he has refuted.
In early 2021, Wood identified Manson as her abuser. She had earlier spoken up about abuse in 2016 and supported survivors’ rights in a congressional hearing. Her accusations encompassed instances of assault during the making of a music video, which she described as both traumatic and unsuitable for professional settings.
