On July 31st, Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay Warner were among 110 invited guests of Ozzy Osbourne's nearest and dearest to attend his private funeral at his 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross. Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: “In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.” They were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them. A huge floral tribute was seen at the mansion that spelled out “Ozzy fucking Osbourne.” Fans left tributes at the gate of the estate. The ceremony comes just one day after Osbourne’s family and friends came together in Birmingham, England, for a funeral procession. At the private funeral on Thursday, a slew of famous musicians paid tribute to the heavy metal icon, including Osbourne’s Black Sabbath bandmat...
On July 2nd 2024, significant updates were made to the lawsuit filed by Bianca Allaine Kyne against Brian Warner/Marilyn Manson.
First, Manson's motion to dismiss all allegations in Kyne's complaint referencing sexual abuse as a minor in 1995 when she was 16 years old was granted.
Second, any reference to Kyne's own personal drawings of Manson from when she was 16 are to be removed.
Third, Kyne is therefore ordered to make a Second Amended Complaint within 30 days removing all of the above.
Why this ruling?
The reason the judge ruled to have these removed was because Manson argued these allegations did not fall under the New York Adult Survivor's Act, which is the reason Kyne was allowed to file her lawsuit against Manson in the first place. The Adult Survivor’s Act does not apply extraterritorially (outside New York) or to claims involving minors (it is designed only for adult sexual assault-related lawsuits). Since Kyne alleges these acts are from when she was a minor while living in Texas, the New York Adult Survivor's Act does not apply to these specific allegations. It should be mentioned that the Plaintiff did concede to have these allegations removed.
What can we expect next?
Bianca Allaine Kyne has 30 days to make a Second Amended Complaint, so we should expect that in the coming days.
