Marilyn Manson will performing at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday, April 5th 2025! Though Manson had not been previously scheduled for this event which is just a few weeks away, yesterday Arizona Bike Week made the following announcement on their social media pages: "Five Finger Death Punch had to cancel their performance due to a family matter, but we’re thrilled to announce Marilyn Manson will be taking the stage in the RockYard on Saturday, April 5th!! Saturday ticket holders will be receiving an email regarding this schedule change." Due to the lineup change, this will be Marilyn Manson's first headliner at a festival since his return to the stage last year. Regarding the nearly last minute schedule change, Arizona Bike Week producer Lisa Cyr told the Arizona Republic the following: “It’s been a little crazy, obviously. A lot of scrambling. But we’re pretty excited with the way it all turned out. Marilyn Manson, I hear that his last few tours hav...
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 once again deactivated her account.
And then Bianca Allaine Kyne posted a bunch on the article, even posted the entire article itself since it was behind a paywall. This is what she said:

Jeff Anderson is using the Manson allegations to pursue the entertainment industry in general, just like he used the cases of Catholic priests to go after the institution of the Roman Catholic Church. He doesn't really care about the truth regarding Manson nor about Bianca's story. Jeff Anderson only cares about a sensational story he could use in the media for his higher goals. It's laughable that he would use the false allegations of Bianca to do this, since Manson has claimed he never knowingly met Bianca or spent any time with her, which puts her in the burden of proof position to prove his claim true and false, and if her claim is true, then she should be easily able to prove his claim is false by just a picture or even an email. It is also clear now that Jeff Anderson collaborated with Caroline Heldman to get her to start the protest in Anaheim in order to get the media coverage they desired. This should have been clear when Bianca spoke before the Anaheim City Council in August. Before this I thought it was more influenced by Caroline's two close friends Esme Bianca and Lenora Claire, and though I do think they are in on it also (Lenora has been friends with Bianca for about 25 years and Esme has been in contact with Bianca since at least February 2021), now it is clear this is all part of Jeff Anderson's plan.
It's also clear the LA Times article was a propaganda piece by the team led by Jeff Anderson, which includes Bianca Allaine Kyne and Caroline Heldman, who have now become the primary voices in the pursuit to take down Marilyn Manson, which the other accusers have for the most part taken a step back from and allowed these new voices to take over. Knowing they can't cancel Marilyn Manson (because, according to them, of "rape culture"), they are now focusing more on the "rape culture" which includes the fans of Manson, not so much with the aim of converting them, but of shaming and bullying them. Reading everything Bianca wrote, it is clear she is shit talking on Manson to provoke his fans, going after his looks and music, which only further proves she is a horrible person who deserves no sympathy or trust because she is in on it for solely activist purposes. Bianca herself has become everything Evan, Esme and Ashley Walters wanted Ashley Smithline to be initially, which was to be the one who would be all too willing to get up in front of the media and tell an outrageous story about Manson and take all the heat off of them while they moved forward with their own legal pursuits. It proved to be too much for Smithline to be used by her fellow false accusers, to the point where she had to flee America and move to England just to get away from everything, and no doubt it helped her come to her senses to see through it all and recant her own false allegations, as she herself has confessed. However Bianca is far more delusional and shameless, but it will be interesting to see if she ever does realize she is being used not only by other accusers, but by her shady attorney as well, and if she does what wake up what will her reaction be.
And I don't want to let Esme Bianco and Lenora Claire off the hook just yet, since through Caroline they are increasingly entering into the world of Jeff Anderson. It's becoming clear that Caroline Heldman and Lenora Claire, two long time activists, are trying to help their close friend Esme Bianco become more involved in the activist field, which in one form or another is ultimately for her Manson related, since her only credibility in the activist world is what she came forward with about with Manson. It was Esme Bianco who also took the lead with Susan Rubio recently to get the new Phoenix Act 2.0 passed into law (the Governor signed the bill into law on September 27th, which extends the statute of limitations for domestic violence crimes from 5 years to 7 years), which Evan Rachel Wood had no known involvement in. Esme Bianco played a significant role in working to get the first version of the Phoenix Act passed into law as well, but she was not given much credit for it, especially in Phoenix Rising, with Evan and Illma Gore taking the most credit. Before this, on September 20th, Esme and another one of their activist friends Lili Bernard were invited to Dr. Caroline Heldman’s class at Occidental College to give a Silent No More Art Workshop with a talk and therapeutic exercises given by Esmé Bianco. According to Lili, "it was an emotional experience. There was a lot of crying, a lot of healing." I'm sure it was very emotional for at least the male students of the class based on what Esme chose to wear for this event. Basically Esme taught them to make a megaphone out of a slogan written on cardboard and had them all repeat "Silent no more!" through their homemade megaphone. As for what is next, on October 11th Esme, Lenora and Caroline together are scheduled to appear and lead a discussion and answer questions at a Friday Feminist Film Series at Occidental College for the documentary Victim/Suspect, which is about law enforcement punishing sexual assault survivors. Essentially what I am trying to point out is that the Jeff Anderson circle has opened itself wider to bring Esme Bianco into it.

And as I write this, a new propaganda piece titled "Is Music Finally Reckoning With #MeToo?", presumably from the office of Jeff Anderson based on the content, was just published by a few media channels. It was authored by a New York-based journalist on music and culture, Maggy Donaldson, who not surprisingly interviewed Dr. Caroline Heldman to talk about what she believes will hold musical artists accountable for their actions now that the multiple Diddy accusations have surfaced and evidence seems to suggest a lot of people helped cover up his misdeeds, which she calls "rape culture". There is talk about the rape culture which prevents these artists from being held accountable, and this rape culture is primarily threefold: the music industry, the people who the artist surrounds himself with and the fans. Heldman says, "In years of doing this work with survivors in different industries, I've never seen anything like the fan dedication to musical artists." Despite this, she also senses a turning of the tide: "I would anticipate any rapist artist who has been operating with the idea that he can silence survivors now knows that the jig is up."
Of course, any artist who is really a rapist needs to be held accountable. This is not the debate. The issue is that what is being proposed by people like Caroline and Jeff Anderson and his ever widening circle is that this be done solely on the basis of allegations and without any sort of investigation. To investigate an accusation, they argue, is to expose people who may have indeed been abused to even more abuse and prevent any survivors from coming forward in the future. But this is not justice, especially if you are trying to keep the one accused silent and not give himself a chance to defend himself. This is bullying and destructive to say the least, that not only affects the one artist but multiple people. Their vigilante approach is to hold accountable everyone in both his business and friendship circle as well, based solely on accusations, and the worst part is they want their fans who defend them or support them in any way to be bullied and held accountable in some way as well. Essentially what it comes down to is that it is all a form of fascism that is unnecessary and extremely dangerous to individuals and the wider culture in general, even more dangerous than what they conceive "rape culture" to be.
