Marilyn Manson’s home was raided by LAPD after sexual assault allegations

In February Marilyn Manson hit by disturbing allegations of ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood. In an Instagram post, Wood said that Manson was abusive and that he had “brainwashed and manipulated” her, concluding by saying she had “lived in fear of reprisal, slander or expulsion. money.”

Several of Manson’s previous partners have supported her, revealing that they also experience PTSD due to their relationship with him. Another lawsuit making a similar allegation of a sex battery was filed by Games of Thrones’ Esmé Bianco in April. The consequences were swift: he was removed by his record label Lorna Vista Recordings and his The TV appearance has been pulled.

Now Deadline is the report that Manson’s West Hollywood apartment was raided by the LAPD, apparently in connection with the Bianco lawsuit. Early Monday morning, Sheriff investigators served a warrant to search the property and seize hard drives and “media storage devices.” Manson was not present in the search.

Lawyers for musician and actor Howard E. King dismissed Bianco’s lawsuit as “possibly false,” saying in a statement to City News Service:

“This lawsuit was filed only after my client’s denial was denied by Ms Bianco and her attorney and conceded to their outrageous financial demands based on behavior that simply never occurred to them. happens now. We will vigorously oppose these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail.”

Despite that confidence, Manson’s attorneys were unable to dismiss the case, with the U.S. District Court ruling in October that:

“A reasonable jury could find that the impact of Warner’s alleged unconscionable conduct, including the perceived threat to safety, immigration status, and career of Plaintiff, persisted many years after her last contact with Warner.”

No trial date has been set, though it’s expected to be an intense legal battle with a lot of money online. Even if he wins, he’s not out of the woods, as there are three other civil lawsuits pending seeking financial compensation for (various) sexual assault, willful mental distress , human trafficking and illegal imprisonment.

Whatever else happens, Marilyn MansonHis acting and musical career is on the rocks for the foreseeable future, if not forever.
