During a September 29, 2025 interview on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, actor Seth Green recounted witnessing Marilyn Manson punch comedian Andy Dick in the throat during a night out in New York City around 2003. The Encounter Around the time they were filming the movie Party Monster , Green, along with Macaulay Culkin and Marilyn Manson, were on their way to a club when they encountered Andy Dick. The Provocation When Dick joined the group, he tried to get the attention of both Culkin and Manson. He first interacted with Culkin, who pushed him away. The Punch Dick then turned his attention to Manson. At that point, Manson allegedly made "meaningful eye contact" with Green before striking Dick in the throat, causing Dick to fall back into the coach clutching his throat.

Before playing the main stage at Rocklahoma 2025, on August 29th, Marilyn Manson guitarist Tyler Bates sat down for a revelatory interview with Starcade Media.
In the interview Tyler first of all reveals that Chapter 2 of the One Assassination Under God series of albums will be out soon, though a date is not given. He said: "We've had a great response to One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, and we look forward to sharing Chapter 2 with people before you know it."
He also shared how personal and cinematic the process is like when he and Manson create songs together: "The way he and I write together is, I mean, it's a very personal environment. It's just the two of us, and the songs are created on the spot together. And so there's a lot of, let's see, put it this way. As a film composer, I've become deft at helping empower stories with music, and help people tell the story in the way that they wish to tell it. And for whatever reason, because Manson has such a cinematic aspect to just his art, the way he looks at life, as a person overall, we really connect. And when we're creating music together, it doesn't really require much dialogue. We just kind of, you know, read each other and just kind of get into it and do it.
Explaining what makes these albums different from the albums of the past, he said: "These songs are really weighted with a lot of personal thoughts and emotions, more than, say, some of the older material that was, let's say, based on the persona and the perspectives that he was interested in sharing or reflecting to people."
Tyler also hinted that concerts in the near future should expect rare and never before played live songs: "But with every tour that we do, every leg, we are going to be introducing different songs. And I can assure you that through the rest of the year, there will be songs that have either never been performed before or very, very rarely in our set."
