On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released a massive, and likely final, batch of files related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, totaling over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images. This release was mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in November 2025, requiring the DOJ to produce its files related to the late sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell. Together with the Epstein files, which strictly are files obtained from Jeffrey Epstein himself, and in which Marilyn Manson is never mentioned as having any sort of association with Epstein, the DOJ included a number of separate documents that consist of "anonymous tips." It is a document in one of these anonymous tips that the name Marilyn Manson can be found, in document EFTA00154698. In the context of document EFTA00154698, an "anonymous tip" refers to information submitted by a member of the p...
Marilyn Manson attended Netflix's 2025 Emmy's Toast on Friday night September 12, 2025. The only online evidence of his presence there were two photos posted by actress Chloë Sevigny in her InstaStories, where Manson has his arm over her shoulder posing for the photo and she is being playful with him, and next to them are her husband Siniša Mačković with Swedish filmmaker and musician Jonas Åkerlund. Despite being photographed with other people that night, Chloë decided to only post those two photos with Manson. In less than 12 hours after posting those photos, they were removed from her InstaStories. What happened?
If you go to Chloë's Instagram page under her September 6th post (the last she posted), you will see that she got a bunch of backlash for posting those stories with Manson. The two photos also circulated by haters on other social media platforms and Reddit, calling her out for being photographed with "rapist" and "abuser" Manson. One can only imagine the private messages she got. There was no doubt that the photos were likely removed due to this backlash ahead of Sunday's Emmy Awards for which she received her first nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, thanks to her performance in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
This PR nightmare was confirmed when a reply to one of these comments by Chloë herself was published. Her comment, however, was a shameful apology, and she blamed it all on being intoxicated. She wrote:

It's one thing to be simply photographed with Manson, but to be nearly licking his face in the photo and then post only the photos with him in her stories instead of other photos of herself from the event is a whole other matter. Clearly she was trying to avoid a celebrity scandal with a silly excuse in the form of an apology in order to distance herself as much as possible from her Party Monster co-star Marilyn Manson. It may be true she didn't realize the backlash she would get, but downplaying everything else, where she can't even admit that they were at the same party but just happened to meet in a hotel lobby, then blaming everything on being drunk, just comes off as dishonest.
Now that the Emmy's are over, she should apologize for her pathetic apology.
