Marilyn Manson sues Evan Rachel Wood for defamation over her sexual abuse allegations against him
Fox News
Marilyn Manson has sued Evan Rachel Wood for defamation over her sexual abuse allegations against him, which Manson claims are a “malicious falsehood.”
The filing goes on to claim that Wood and Gore impersonated a FBI agent "by forging and distributing a fictitious letter from the agent, to create the false appearance that Warner’s alleged ‘victims’ and their families were in danger, and that there was a federal criminal investigation of Warner ongoing." It also alleges that Wood and Gore "provided checklists and scripts" to accusers and "made knowingly false statements," including that Manson "filmed the sexual assault of a minor." Manson has requested a jury trial and is also alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of the Comprehensive Computer Data and Access Fraud Act and impersonation over the internet.
Representatives for Wood and Gore did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
