Two weeks before a documentary about Manson's alleged treatment of Wood is set to premiere, Marilyn Manson sued actress Evan Rachel Wood for defamation.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, sued his ex-fiance, Wood, and her romantic partner.
In the suit, Manson claimed that Wood and Gore made a conspiracy to tarnish him by giving prospective accusers checklists and script to claim abuse against Warner.
Manson claimed Wood and Gore impersonated an FBI agent through a letter, a purported copy of which was also included in the filing, and that Gore created fake email accounts and hacked his email and social media accounts.
Howard King, Manson's lawyer, told Forbes in a statement that Wood's documentary Phoenix Rising, which will premiere on March 15, is a defendants in the suit.
The amount of damages that Manson is seeking will be determined during the trial.
Forbes reached out to Wood and Gore.
When she was 20 and he was 38, Wood and Manson dated. Wood, who is known for her roles in the television shows Westworld and True Blood, had said previously that she was abused by an ex, and in February 2021 she publicly named Manson as her abuser. Wood claimed that Manson raped her while filming a music video for his song "Heart-Shaped Glasses" in the first part of Phoenix Rising. I had never agreed to that. According to Rolling Stone, she said that she did not feel safe. Several other women have accused Manson of abuse, all of which he denied. In May, his former assistant sued him for sexual assault, battery and harassment, and in April, Bianco sued him for sexual assault and sex trafficking. In November, Manson's Los Angeles-area home was raided by the authorities as part of an investigation into the claims of abuse made against him.
