A Deep Dive Into the Second Court Dismissal of the Case of Ashley Walters Against Her Former Employer Marilyn Manson

On December 16th 2025, it was announced that the case of Ashley Walters (ex-assistant) brought against her former employer Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) through her second amended complaint on March 11th 2022, has been dismissed without prejudice. This is because on September 19th 2025, Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc. filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, and this Motion was granted on December 16th.

Marilyn Manson also shared on his Instagram page two photos taken by Lindsay, of him holding a bouquet of flowers, which he captioned with: "The moon has now eclipsed the sun, the angel has spread his wings…", which are the well-known lyrics from "Cryptorchid" and "Antichrist Superstar".

 
 
The total solar eclipse is the perfect time to reintroduce these lyrics, which evoke the imagery of Manson's complete transformation leading toward the revolution, as was previously featured in Holy Wood. We have seen this in the previous imagery over the past year or so, especially with an image Manson and Lindsay posted this past Valentine's Day only in their Instagram stories of what looks to me like an angel overlooking a horizon in which an eclipse has taken place and the angel is spreading his wings.
