Ashley Walters vs. Brian Warner Although the Ashely Walters lawsuit was initially filed in 2021, it has only been at issue since April 25, 2024 when it was reinstated. On April 9, 2025, the Defendants Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc. applied for an ex parte order to continue the trial date from June 2, 2025 to January 26, 2026. This is mainly due to the fact that depositions and discovery in this case were delayed due to the criminal investigation against Manson by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. Since the end of this investigation, depositions have begun in this case but there was not adequate time for both the depositions and discovery to meet the trial date of June 2nd, hence the extension. Discovery was supposed to expire in this case in May 2025 to meet the June 2nd trial date. According to court documents, during Manson's deposition it was revealed by the Plaintiff's attorney that there are "at least" ten more depositions to be co...
Bianca Allaine Kyne Fails To Properly Update Amended Complaint; Marilyn Manson Makes a Motion To Strike
On July 2, 2024, the court ordered for Bianca Allaine Kyne to make a Second Amended Complaint, striking all references in her original and first amended complaint that spoke of Marilyn Manson's alleged sexual misconduct with minors which supposedly took place in other states. Her Second Amended Complaint was supposed to only focus on allegations of sexual misconduct toward the Plaintiff when she was an adult and that took place in New York, where the lawsuit was filed. She was given thirty days to submit her Second Amended Complaint.
Though Bianca initially agreed to this ruling, it is clear that she either misunderstood how to apply it or purposefully ignored to fully implement it. This can be seen in an article soon after published for the media by her law firm which continued to reference her as a victim of Marilyn Manson when she was a minor, and they even went so far as to deem the court ruling a victory for them when in reality it was a victory for Marilyn Manson. On August 2, 2024, Bianca finally submitted her Second Amended Complaint, and though some references that were ordered to be stricken were indeed done, there still remained 37 references in her Second Amended Complaint to Marilyn Manson as a child predator.
Because of this, Marilyn Manson's attorney Howard King submitted on August 23rd a Motion to Strike these 37 references from her Second Amended Complaint. He is now asking the court for Bianca to submit a Third Amended Complaint.

An Interesting Note on Bianca Allaine Kyne's Birthday and the Origins of her Lawsuit
An Interesting Note on Bianca Allaine Kyne's Birthday and the Origins of her Lawsuit
As a side note to what I posted above, I would like to add that today, August 26th, is Bianca's 45th birthday. There is a certain significance of this date to the court case she brought against Marilyn Manson. As I have noted elsewhere, originally Bianca issued a statement along with media interviews against Manson with his other accusers in early February 2021 after she contacted Esme Bianco. After this she went silent on the matter, revealing early that summer in what she thought was a private email to former Marilyn Manson band member Jeordie White some regret for not telling the truth and her desire to move away from the matter.
However, things began to change for Bianca when Marilyn Manson appeared at Kanye West's Donda listening party on August 26th 2021. As Bianca revealed in Facebook posts in 2022, when she saw Manson appear on the stage in Holy Wood makeup specifically on her birthday, she took it as a direct message and threat against her, since she claimed to have been with him when news came of the Columbine Massacre. As she wrote in 2022, by him sending this threatening message to her on her birthday, she decided to move forward with a lawsuit to stop him.
