Judge Rejects Marilyn Manson's Latest Bid to Dismiss Ashley Walters Lawsuit

At a hearing held June 5, 2026, Judge Steve Cochran overruled a demurrer filed by Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc., and denied a related motion to strike portions of Walters' Third Amended Complaint. The ruling means that Walters' lawsuit survives another legal challenge and that Warner must now file a formal answer to the complaint within twenty days. According to the court's minute order, Judge Cochran accepted certain documents or records that the defendants asked the court to consider, and rejected the plaintiff's argument against doing so, and ultimately concluded that the allegations were sufficient to move forward at this stage of the proceedings. The ruling follows months of litigation surrounding whether Walters' claims can proceed under California's recently enacted Assembly Bill 250 (AB 250), which took effect on January 1, 2026. The law created a temporary revival window allowing certain previously time-barre...

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...
