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.

Reba Meyers Reveals in New Interview That the Actual Story of Marilyn Manson Is More Interesting Than the Controversy
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published an interview with Pittsburgh native Reba Meyers on September 17th 2025, ahead of Marilyn Manson's show in The Steel City on September 20th.

For Reba, the actual story is a story of redemption:
"But for me it’s about redemption, and I’ve seen that with the crowd, and the more important part to me is how people are receiving it, and I can see that it’s empowering people to be better, which that’s incredible. It’s rare."
