Below I translated two articles from German publications where they talk about an open letter recently written and that has been published calling for the cancelation of Marilyn Manson's November 22nd concert in Bern, Switzerland. The Open Letter is also translated after the two articles. They currently have a petition out as well that began on September 10th calling for public support, where they currently have 470 signatures (see here ). Open Letter Calls for Cancellation of Marilyn Manson Concert in Bern The scandal-ridden rocker is scheduled to perform at the Bern Festhalle at the end of November. Left-wing parties and women's organizations want to prevent the concert.

As previously reported, Marilyn Manson's attorney Howard King submitted on August 23rd a Motion to Strike 37 references to sexual assault of a minor from Bianca Allaine Kyne's Second Amended Complaint, and asked the court for her to submit a Third Amended Complaint.
On September 11th, Bianca's attorney Patrick Stoneking filed an opposition to Manson's Motion to Strike, stating that though the majority of the motions are inconsequential and Bianca has agreed to strike the majority of the references related to sexual assault of a minor, there are still a few references they are opposed to removing because it has bearing on her alleged assault when she was an adult in 1999. The first reference that Bianca refuses to have removed is related to what she believes was part of the grooming process that led to her being assaulted as an adult. And the second reference is related to behavior exhibited by Manson when Bianca was a minor that displayed a power dynamic which he later exploited when Bianca was an adult to abuse her.
In Exhibit 1 that accompanied the filing, the Second Amended Complaint is submitted with red marks to indicate what they intend to remove for the Third Amended Complaint.
We await the ruling as to what Motions to Strike submitted by Manson will be accepted or rejected.
Of further interest, this filing also confirms once again that Bianca filed a separate lawsuit against Manson on February 20th 2024 in Louisiana relating to the childhood sexual abuse (Kyne v. Warner et al., 2023-13429; A-16 - Orleans Parish).
