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...

It was announced today that Marilyn Manson is scheduled to perform at Machaca Rock Fest in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, in northern Mexico on November 30th. This will be his first festival show since 2019. His performance will be after a suprise band not yet announced, Houbastank and Simple Plan and before the headliner Limp Bizkit.
News of Marilyn Manson's appearance at Machaca Rock Fest leaked last week, and you could see on social media the great excitement of fans of Marilyn Manson in Mexico that he will be performing at Machaca Rock Fest.

On top of this great news, though Fred Durst and Marilyn Manson are long time friends, one cannot overlook the fact that there is some awkwardness in the atmosphere as well. It has become well known that Limp Bizkit just ended their tour with Manson accuser Corey Feldman, with Fred Durst even directing one of his music videos for that tour. But an even bigger issue is that Limp Bizkit's guitarist is former Marilyn Manson guitarist (only for three shows in 2007) Wes Borland, who not only was fired by Manson but who bitterly came forward as a supporter of Evan Rachel Wood in 2021 and insisted that people believe her and all of his accusers, because Manson, he said, "is a bad fucking guy."
I'm sure Manson is well prepared for such awkward encounters, since they are inevitable, but one person does bear the burden with a response, and that would be Wes Borland. Some people and some media sources have called out Five Finger Death Punch and Slaughter to Prevail and tried to expose them as evil people for supporting an alleged rapist and abuser make his comeback by sharing the stage with him. Now how will these same people respond to Limp Bizkit and especially to Wes Borland, one of Manson's accusers, sharing a stage with him on the same night at the same festival? If Wes Borland is to be consistent with what he has stated publicly several times about Manson, and he really believes what he said, what excuse will he have for going forward and appearing at this festival and sharing the same stage with Manson in Mexico on November 30th, especially after he said "that guy is canceled. Goodbye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out"?
At the same time, it is Manson who reaps the benefits of his appearance at this festival, and it is a victory for him and his fans that he would appear anywhere near his accuser and show everyone that nothing can stop him, especially one who tried to drag his name through the mud as much as he could. And any awkwardness and shame about this whole matter should only belong to Wes Borland.
