Catholic Archbishop in Mexico Fails To Have Marilyn Manson Concert Canceled

The announcement of Marilyn Manson's free concert at the 2025 San Luis Potosí National Fair (FENAPO) sparked a strong reaction from the Roman Catholic Church in San Luis Potosí. During a press conference on June 15th 2025, Archbishop Jorge Cavazos Arizpe of San Luis Potosi revealed to journalists that he had sent a formal letter to Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona asking him to cancel the upcoming August 10th concert of Marilyn Manson in the Mexican city with more than 800,000 residents, arguing that his artistic history violates the values that should be promoted at a family and cultural event. “I have sent a letter to the governor, asking that, for the good of society and not just Christians, we have seen issues in his history that concern us,” the prelate declared at the press conference. Cavazos asserted that his request not only responds to religious principles, but also to social concerns, especially for the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of those who attend the eve...

Ashley Walters v. Marilyn Manson (Part Two - An Analysis of her February 1, 2021 Statement)

              ...continued from part one.   It appears that Ashley Walters remained relatively quiet regarding her alleged abuse and anything that has to do with Marilyn Manson from March 2019 till February 1, 2021. Later we will find out that she was very much active during this time in regards to those things, but her first public statement about the abuse she allegedly suffered by her former employer Marilyn Manson came on the day Evan Rachel Wood first named her abuser. On February 1, 2021, Evan named Marilyn Manson as her abuser for the first time, and this was followed by others who made accusations of abuse and assault, many of whom coordinated before this time to issue their statements together on the same day. Among these women was Ashley Walters, a long-time friend of nearly all of Manson's accusers, who posted the statement above on her Instagram account, along with what appears to be three text messages from Marilyn Manson to Ashley W...

Ashley Walters v. Marilyn Manson (Part One - It All Begins With a Movement and a List)

    On March 11th 2019, Evan Rachel Wood and Esme Bianco launched the #IAmNotOK movement on social media, reminiscent of the #MeToo phenomenon from more than a year prior, to bring wide awareness to the upcoming decision on the Phoenix Act in California. The Phoenix Act was passed unanimously in the state of California a month later in April 2019 and it was passed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on January 1, 2020. The hashtag was advertised as something to share on social media for people to be more vocal about the domestic violence they suffered. It's name stems from Evan's post in November 2016 on Twitter, when she first shared her rape stories in a letter to Rolling Stone , and included the hashtag #NotOk. Over the next few days in mid-March 2019, other women would share their story, including some celebrities recruited by Evan and Esme, using the hashtag #IAmNotOK. It was on March 12th 2019 that Ashley Walters, former personal assistant of Marilyn Manson from August 201...

A Star Is Born: How a Deceptive Underage Girl Led Marilyn Manson to the Creation of his "First Real Song"

Watching the news this morning, I heard the announcement that televangelist Pat Robertson has died at the age of 93, while New York City is experiencing the worst air quality ever in its history and currently around the world due to the massive Canadian wildfires. Putting the two together, it reminded me of an interesting story from Marilyn Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road Out of Hell . Manson's autobiography is often cited out of context by his accusers and critics to prove how horrible of a monster he is (not just was , but is ), yet they very conveniently overlook the stories that contradict their accusations. One of these stories took place in 1990, when Manson was in Manhattan, just as he was beginning to play live shows in South Florida with the Spooky Kids. How he ended up in Manhattan and what came out of that trip are both fascinating, but he describes it as "a disastrous trip to Manhattan during which I wrote my first real song." This is how Manson ...
