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:...
Valentine's Day has long been a significant day for Marilyn Manson for many reasons, but this year it so happened that Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay celebrated Valentine's Day in Brno, Czech Republic while on his European tour.
Earlier in the day, both Manson and Lindsay posted a series of photos for Valentine's Day. The photos of Manson were photographed by Lindsay, and one was captioned "They’d remember this as Valentine’s Day" (which Lindsay captioned as "Always") while the other said "Meet Me In Purgatory" (which Lindsay captioned as "within the fog and trees").

Later that night, as an introduction to his performance of "Meet Me In Purgatory", Manson made a sweet Valentine dedication to his beloved wife who stuck by him through the best of times and the worst of times. He said the following:
My dearly devoted...
How many of you..., raise your hands if you're in love...
How about just for Valentine's Day...
I have someone who stuck by me through the worst, the best - I will be with them forever.
This is Meet Me In Purgatory.
How many of you..., raise your hands if you're in love...
How about just for Valentine's Day...
I have someone who stuck by me through the worst, the best - I will be with them forever.
This is Meet Me In Purgatory.
This beautiful introduction to the song also confirms for us who Manson had in mind when writing "Meet Me In Purgatory".
