A Deep Dive Into the Second Court Dismissal of the Case of Ashley Walters Against Her Former Employer Marilyn Manson

On December 16th 2025, it was announced that the case of Ashley Walters (ex-assistant) brought against her former employer Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) through her second amended complaint on March 11th 2022, has been dismissed without prejudice. This is because on September 19th 2025, Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc. filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, and this Motion was granted on December 16th. Hence the jury trial which was scheduled for the 26th of January will no longer take place.  According to court documents, the Motion for Summary Judgment was granted for three reasons: 1. “There is no triable issue of material fact.” The court is saying: Even if we look at the evidence most favorably to the plaintiff, there is nothing a jury needs to decide because the key facts are either undisputed or legally irrelevant. Meaning: The dispute is purely legal, not factual — and the law favors the defendants. 2. “Plaintiff’s claims are time barred.” The court is saying:...

Esme Bianco Has Politicized the Marilyn Manson Investigation

  As mentioned in my previous post , Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon issued a peculiar statement on October 9th updating people on the criminal investigation of Marilyn Manson by his office. In the statement it was revealed that "our office’s Sex Crimes Division are carefully reviewing new leads and additional evidence that continue to come to our attention from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s investigation." He also informed us that they "anticipate making a filing decision soon and will provide an update when that time comes." The problem with this is that George Gascon is in danger of losing his position to his opposing candidate, former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Nathan Hochman, who is running as an Independent. Los Angeles residents have realized that progressive policies on criminal justice make things worse for their city, and it appears that a change is just weeks away at the November 5th election. Will we finally be getting the ...

L.A. District Attorney George Gascón Provides Peculiar Update on the Marilyn Manson Case: What Is Really Going On?

On October 9th 2024, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón provided a peculiar update on the Brian Warner/Marilyn Manson case. His statement on the status of the case is as follows: “Experienced prosecutors from our office’s Sex Crimes Division are carefully reviewing new leads and additional evidence that continue to come to our attention from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s investigation. New evidence has emerged within the last few weeks, adding to an already extensive case file presented to our office by the LASD. It is our office’s responsibility to ensure that we have a complete picture of the admissible evidence available before making a filing decision. Senior staff members have met with victims, and our prosecutors continue to remain in contact with the victims and their representatives throughout this process. We are committed to making sure they are treated with dignity and respect. I have received requests from victims to meet personally to discuss the ca...

Marilyn Manson and the Warriors of "Rape Culture" in Light of Recent Events

I recently wrote about the September 30th article from the Los Angeles Times titled "Marilyn Manson Returns To Tour After Rape Allegations. Activists Are Furious", in which I point out that it is a hit piece primarily aimed at Marilyn Manson fans under the guise of a journalistic investigation. One thing I tried to show is that the author of the article, August Brown, followed the talking points of Caroline Heldman in writing his article. However, based on the reactions to the article from Marilyn Manson's accusers, I think there is more to it that I only made a brief mention in my previous article that I wanted to expand a little upon. The first reaction came from Manson accuser Bianca Allaine Kyne's attorney Jeff Anderson on his firm's social media pages. He posted the following:   As far as I could see, at least Caroline Heldman, Sarah McNeilly and Evan Rachel Wood reposted this either partially or in its entirety. After Evan reposted it in its entirety, she ...

The 'Los Angeles Times' Falsely Reports That Most Marilyn Manson Fans Are Conflicted

Marilyn Manson performs at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA (9/6/2024) The Los Angeles Times published an article on September 30th, reflecting on the comeback tour of Marilyn Manson and what it means in light of the allegations against him. It is titled "Marilyn Manson Returns To Tour After Rape Allegations. Activists Are Furious" and was authored by August Brown. In it exclusive interviews are given to get an overall feel for the tour and what it means for the music industry and even American culture in general. Though it is somewhat of a hit piece, as I will soon show, it is certainly presented as a cautionary tale, with a bunch of misleading information. The moral of the story: Marilyn Manson fans don't care about rape victims, therefore don't support Marilyn Manson.   The article begins "outside the Honda Center in Anaheim in early September" where it gives coverage to the "dozen or so" protesters. Immediately the article presents false infor...
