Marilyn Manson in the News (May 4 - May 28, 2023)

May 9 - Anti-SLAPP Rulings Revealed and Why Marilyn Manson Has a Strong Case for an Appeal Anti-SLAPP laws work by putting more burden than usual on defamed plaintiffs like Manson, forcing them to clearly show at the outset that their case is legitimate. In California, the reason strict anti-SLAPP laws exist is because they have so many cases to go through, and it helps to alleviate the pressure of the courts by making cases less time consuming by eliminating certain aspects of a claim before they go to discovery. The major drawback of this is that a plaintiff must enter the case with all their evidence in hand when it comes to defamation claims even before discovery can be conducted. Thus, it makes it almost impossible for a defamation claim to pass into the discovery portion of the case unless the unquestionable evidence already clearly exists. In some cases, like Manson's, the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim can also be part of the anti-SLAPP.   Summary of the

Phoebe Bridgers Exposed: An Analysis of her Statement Against Marilyn Manson

Though she had just released her second studio album some months before and was nominated for four Grammy's including Best New Artist in 2020, before February 4th of 2021, most people had never really heard of Phoebe Bridgers. All of a sudden, she is all over the media making an accusation on Twitter against Marilyn Manson to supplement the bombardment of accusations of domestic abuse and sexual assault against him made a few days earlier by Evan Rachel Wood and others. She obviously felt like she could contribute something, even though she herself was never acquainted with Manson either romantically or as a friend. Her claim was that she heard something suspicious from Manson one day as a teenager when she went over Manson's house with some friends, and by tweeting what this suspicious thing was, Phoebe Bridgers automatically was listed as one of Marilyn Manson's accusers, and became much more known then she was before. In fact, her name would become almost a household nam

Powerful and Compelling Testimonials and Evidence Issued in Favor of Marilyn Manson's Claims Against Evan Rachel Wood and Illma Gore

On July 20th, Marilyn Manson issued an application to shorten the time to hear his motion to conduct limited discovery on his case against Evan Rachel Wood and Illma Gore. In doing so, there was included in his case filings declarations from the following people who could potentially be called to witness on behalf of Marilyn Manson: Emese Balog (Greta Aurora), Paula M. Weiss (Pola Weiss), Jayden Elworthy, Dominic Phoenix Scaia (Phoenix Thorne), Blair Berk, Howard E. King, Bryton Gore, Brian Warner (Marilyn Manson). One of the reasons cited to conduct the limited discovery is in order to contact other potential witnesses who live outside the state of California. I will not comment too much on these documents, because I want to encourage everyone to read them for themselves. They can be found at this link .  Below I will briefly go through each declaration and offer some personal thoughts that may be helpful to put things in better perspective. As you read each declaration, you can read

Evan Rachel Wood's Social Media Meltdown (July 20-22, 2022)

As Evan Rachel Wood is in Raleigh, North Carolina practicing for her upcoming theatrical role in a few weeks in the Theater in the Park production of The Father , in which she will star alongside her real father, Ira David Wood III, and be directed by her brother, Ira David Wood IV; and after having come off of a successful promotional campaign for the season four premier of Westworld , it appears she is in the middle of a meltdown. Why? Because things are not going her way in the media, among other things, and for those who know about Evan Rachel Wood, when things don't go her way, she has a meltdown, and not just an emotional meltdown, but a self-destructive meltdown. After all, one of the motivating factors she targeted Marilyn Manson in the first place with false allegations was because she was trying to assume control over her own media narrative, which included expunging the bad coverage of the past. Let's see how this meltdown happened. To make it simple, I will summariz
