Marilyn Manson in the Epstein Files? The Real Story

On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a massive, and likely final, batch of files related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, totaling over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images.  This release was mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in November 2025, requiring the DOJ to produce its files related to the late sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell.   Together with the Epstein files, which strictly are files obtained from Jeffrey Epstein himself, and in which Marilyn Manson is never mentioned as having any sort of association with Epstein, the DOJ included a number of separate documents that consist of "anonymous tips."

Marilyn Manson Attends The Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day Concert in San Diego


Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay Warner attended the final show of The Savior's Tour at Petco Park in San Diego on September 28th, with Green Day as the headliner supported by The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and The Linda Lindas.

This has not gone unnoticed by Manson, so while attending their show from the side stage in San Diego, Lindsay made sure to grab a video of Manson and Billie Joe Armstrong meeting while the Intro played in the stadium.
