It was announced Thursday January 17th 2025 that Film Director David Lynch died of emphysema at the age of 78, just a few days before his 79th birthday on Monday. Both Lindsay and Manson paid tribute to Lynch on Instagram, with Lindsay posting in her stories a broken heart under the poster for Wild at Heart and Manson posting the poster for Lost Highway with the message: "May you live forever inside our dreams." Manson and Lindsay have both said that Wild at Heart (1990) is their favorite Lynch film and favorite romance film, to the point where their wedding theme in 2020 was inspired by Wild at Heart , and they even invited Nicolas Cage, the star of the film, to attend, which he did via a video call. Also, a quote from the film spoken by Crispin Glover can be heard in the song "Lunchbox", when you hear: "I'm making my lunch!" Manson's first film appearance was as a snuff film pornstar along with bandmate Twiggy Ramirez in Lynch's film Lost ...

Journalist and screenwriter Phoebe Eaton spotted Marilyn Manson and someone she assumed to be Rose McGowan - "or at least, her doppelganger" - having dinner this past Sunday (6/2/24) at the legendary and very touristy Musso and Frank Grill in Hollywood. Though she made it sound like she was unsure of the identity of the woman with Manson (I'm sure she just found it hard to believe), and since a barrier kept her hidden most of the time, it has been anonymously confirmed that it was indeed Manson's ex-fiance Rose McGowan with him at dinner.
Though it is unknown why they were having dinner together, we can assume they are at least on friendly enough terms to do so, which is quite significant in light of the roller coaster ride over the past few years since Evan Rachel Wood and others named Manson as their abuser in February 2021.
As I have written elsewhere, we know that in 2020 Manson and McGowan were friendly and talking again, but as Evan's public testimony about an abusive past relationship was gaining publicity she, as an early and vocal MeToo advocate, took a sudden turn and said she needed to reevaluate their friendship if it turned out to be true that it was Manson. Then when Evan named Manson, she decided to support Evan and all of Manson's accusers, as a MeToo advocate, despite her stating that nothing of what he was accused of took place in their relationship which lasted over three years (1997-2001), adding that she was "disgusted" by what she was hearing.
Meanwhile, in 2020 Evan Rachel Wood was trying to get in McGowan's good graces, probably to win her over as an ally against Manson. This is why Evan is said to have left Twitter in May 2020, since she alone decided to publicly defend Rose for standing up for Joe Biden-accuser Tara Reade, and in turn received a lot of backlash. Then after Evan named Manson and thanked Rose for her support, she would even begin to recommend McGowan's 2018 book "Brave" on her Instagram page, stating that it was an excellent evaluation of Hollywood, despite the fact that Rose dedicates an entire chapter to praising Marilyn Manson and how well he treated her after being in many abusive relationships.
Things began to take a turn when Rose started to become more critical of the MeToo movement, then on December 20th 2022 she came out publicly against the harassment and bullying she received nearly two years prior to force her to make a statement against Marilyn Manson, right after Evan called him out by name as her abuser. Just a few days prior to this, Manson's ex-wife Dita Von Teese stated something similar in one of her interviews.
With this in mind, let's hope Rose has indeed now found the courage to fully come forward with what she already knows - that Marilyn Manson is not the man he has been falsely accused to be.
