Marilyn Manson Uncanceled

On December 6th it was revealed that two media sources, the Daily Mail and Radar Online , decided to finally do some journalistic work. For me, this is a story in and of itself, because very little effort has been made by journalists since February to actually seek the truth in the cases Marilyn Manson is involved in. Daily Mail did a good job unearthing some court documents filed by Evan Rachel Wood in April as part of her ongoing child custody battle with ex Jamie Bell, though it was presented sloppily. Radar Online obtained more recent court documents of a joint status report from both Esme Bianco and Marilyn Manson, though only extracts from the docs are presented in a confusing way. I'll go through both of these below. Marilyn Manson Named in the Joint Custody Battle Between Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood Jamie and Evan first dated in 2005, they then rekindled their romance after her relationship with Manson fell apart in 2010 and she came out as bisexual in 2011. In 2012 t...

"My lowest point was Christmas Day 2008, because I didn’t speak to my family. My walls were covered in scrawlings of the lyrics and cocaine bags nailed to the wall. And I did have an experience where I was struggling to deal with being alone and being forsaken and being betrayed by putting your trust in one person, and making the mistake of that being the wrong person. And that’s a mistake that everyone can relate to. I made the mistake of trying to, desperately, grasp on and save that and own it. And every time I called her that day — I called 158 times — I took a razorblade and I cut myself on my face or on my hands. I look back and it was a really stupid thing to do. This was intentional, this was a scarification, and this was like a tattoo. I wanted to show her the pain she put me through. It was like, 'I want you to physically see what you’ve done.' It sounds made up but it’s completely true and I don’t give a shit if people believe it or not. I’ve got the scars to pr...

Let's take a look at some of the more interesting stories in the news in regards to Marilyn Manson, from November 29th to December 3rd.   1. Kanye West and Marilyn Manson Meet for Dinner On November 29th, Radar Online reported that two separate eyewitnesses saw Ye and Manson at Bestia in Downtown Los Angeles Sunday night (November 28th), eating and conversing. The tipster reported that Manson attended the outing "sans makeup" and that "Ye had the ribeye." Another added that Ye was overheard "talking about how all these hot girls still text him." When Ye finished eating, he "immediately put on headphones when he got up to leave."    Manson's rep has said he would "continue to conceptually collaborate with Ye" moving forward. Looks like Kanye is following through on that promise. It appears that after dinner Manson got on a plane with his wife Lindsay for their belated honeymoon in Berlin, Germany. It should be noted that when ...

Let's take a look at some of the more interesting stories in the news in regards to Marilyn Manson, from November 22nd to November 29th.    1. Marilyn Manson Nominated for a Grammy in 2022 Though Marilyn Manson has been nominated for a Grammy four times before (in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2012), he has never won, but ten years after his last nomination, in 2022, he has a good chance of finally taking the award not just once, but twice. He has been nominated for his participation in Kanye West's (Ye) Donda album, specifically for Album of the Year and for Best Rap Song with the song "Jail". Among other controversial artists nominated are DaBaby, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. The main outcry from almost all the media sources was the fact that Manson was nominated despite all the accusations against him. This necessitated a response from Harvey Mason, jr., the Recording Academy President and CEO, who issued the following statement : "We won’t restrict the people who can...

In 2017, Marilyn Manson was perhaps more visible than ever, in art, music, film, television and fashion. He also embarked on a tour in support of his acclaimed album Heaven Upside Down , which in October landed him temporarily in a wheelchair due to an accident when a stage prop fell on his leg. Setting aside the accident and other difficult situations that took place in October, the show went on, and everything seemed to be on the right track when it came to Marilyn Manson's career. Evan Rachel Wood Despite Evan Rachel Wood's revelation a year prior that she had been both abused and sexually assaulted by a former partner of hers, at this point she had not named her alleged abuser and rapist. Some speculated it to be Marilyn Manson at this point, but judgments were almost universally reserved. One person at this time that certainly knew who she was referring to was Marilyn Manson himself. From the time of their breakup in August of 2010, Manson hardly ever talked about Evan, an...
