In a recent podcast interview about narcissistic abuse, Evan Rachel Wood said that Marilyn Manson described in his autobiography how the Brian Warner part of him was dead and whatever he had become was now his true self. Her purpose was to show that Manson completely abandoned his humanity and truly came to embody a disassociated narcissistic monster. But is this what his autobiography actually said or even implied? No, of course not. He says something along those lines, but she completely twists it to make a point that fits her narrative rather than the actual facts. What Manson actually describes in his autobiography is that he went through a personal apocalypse. He writes: "When I first conceived of Antichrist Superstar , I set out to create an apocalypse.

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).
