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

Marilyn Manson in the News (May 19-25, 2022) - Manson in the Depp-Heard Trial, a Comparison to a Marvel Villain, Ashley Walters' Lawsuit Dismissed, Illma Gore Challenges Defamation Claims

 - Marilyn Manson in the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard Trial For the past six weeks the name Marilyn Manson has been used by Amber Heard's team on an almost daily basis to associate Johnny Depp with a figure who is not only controversial and despised by many in conventional society, but to show that Johnny is guilty by association and had a partner in crime, being influenced and encouraged in his alleged violence and drug use by Manson. However, on May 20th Marilyn Manson was brought up in a positive way, in regards to the evidence he provided that counters the claims of Amber Heard regarding the abuse she allegedly suffered on Thanksgiving in 2015. Marilyn Manson and his assistant Paula Baby (see her account in video below) attended Thanksgiving Dinner with Johnny and Amber in 2015, and he submitted as evidence videos and photos to Johnny's team which contradicts Amber's account. Testimony from attorney Adam Waldman, who has worked on and off on Depp’s legal team since Octob

Marilyn Manson in the News (March 15-May 15, 2022) - A Lot of Information from the Past Two Months, Including a Surprise in the End

When it comes to Marilyn Manson news in the month of March 2022, it was pretty much dominated by Evan Rachel Wood's documentary Phoenix Rising , released conveniently on the Ides of March, on March 15th and 16th on HBO as a two-part series. During the week of its release, Evan made four television appearances and Amy Berg the director made one appearance, and these I have already covered here . On the day of its release, two article ( one by The Cut and one by Time ) were released to supplement it. A few weeks before this, earlier in the month, Marilyn Manson issued his lawsuit complaint against Evan Rachel Wood and Illma Gore, which changed the narrative a little in media circles, though it would soon be ignored (because we know how much the media hates their narrative changed and how scared they are to go against a woman who makes accusations in the MeToo era).  Besides the documentary and the multiple television appearances, we were overwhelmed with a large amount of media cove

How Growing Up With False Rumors Made Me a Fan of Marilyn Manson

I grew up with two older sisters, one four years older and the other two years older, and they often experienced things before I did and I relied on that information to make a lot of my decisions growing up. We also had two uncles slightly older than us that I grew up close to and looked up to, and what they told me I also trusted. This was before the internet age, when rumors about various things were in abundance, and if you didn't experience something yourself then you had to rely on other people to tell you, and usually you trusted their experience. Naturally, because of this, I grew up believing a lot of rumors that frankly were just not true. Below are five examples out of many showing how false rumors influenced me and how this played a major part in me becoming a Marilyn Manson fan. 1. In the early 1980's, when I was around seven years old, my sisters and I slept over my grandparent's house. My two uncles were in high school at the time, so they slept over one of t
