Marilyn Manson in the Epstein Files? The Real Story

On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a massive, and likely final, batch of files related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, totaling over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images.  This release was mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in November 2025, requiring the DOJ to produce its files related to the late sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell.   Together with the Epstein files, which strictly are files obtained from Jeffrey Epstein himself, and in which Marilyn Manson is never mentioned as having any sort of association with Epstein, the DOJ included a number of separate documents that consist of "anonymous tips." It is a document in one of these anonymous tips that the name Marilyn Manson can be found, in document EFTA00154698. In the context of document EFTA00154698, an "anonymous tip" refers to information submitted by a member of the p...

What Evan Rachel Wood Said About Marilyn Manson's 2007 'Heart-Shaped Glasses' Music Video Before 'Phoenix Rising' in 2022

Evan's Obsession With Nabokov's Lolita On July 7, 2009, after the second breakup of Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood, when she was dating Shane West, Vanity Fair published an interview with Evan Rachel Wood to promote her film Whatever Works . Whatever Works is a film directed by Woody Allen and is about a middle-aged, misanthropic divorcé (Larry David) from New York City who surprisingly enters a fulfilling, Pygmalion-type relationship with a much younger, unsophisticated Southern girl (Evan Rachel Wood). During this interview, Evan was asked about Nabokov's Lolita , since the film is about the relationship of a young girl and a much older man, and she talked about her obsession as a young girl with Nabokov's Lolita . It is clear from the interview that Evan did not view her relationship with Manson as being in the "Lolita-like" territory, since she does not even mention him. Instead she viewed her relationship with Manson as being between two consentin...

Evan Rachel Wood's Ridiculous Documentary 'Phoenix Rising' (Part Two: Stand Up): A Detailed Review and Examination

Like my review for Part One of Phoenix Rising , I am here presenting a detailed review and examination of Part Two, and will try to clarify its many errors and separate the facts from the fiction. Because so many topics are brought up, as well as left out, in Part Two, I will be giving a summary here and save the details for future articles. I encourage reading this review while watching Part Two of Phoenix Rising , since it is now widely available and I will not post many videos and photos from the documentary to supplement what I write. Part Two of Evan Rachel Wood's documentary Phoenix Rising begins on September 12, 2020. Anyone familiar with this case knows that on this day, a former crew member and personal assistant of Marilyn Manson, Dan Cleary, came forward on Twitter to lend his support to the accusers of his former boss. Evan first appears on screen with tears in her eyes, not tears of pain or sorrow, but of joy. She says she just woke up to an email informing her of Da...
