Since 2021, more than a dozen women, including actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Esm\u00e9 Bianco, have come forward to accuse Marilyn Manson (n\u00e9e Brian Warner) of rape, sexual assault and battery, human trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and more. Many of his accusers spoke to Rolling Stone in 2021 and several have filed legal actions against him. Wood spoke out about her abuse in the docuseries \u201cPhoenix Rising\u201d and became so afraid of retribution from Manson that she gave primary custody of her 10-year-old son to his dad, Jamie Bell.<\/p>\n

Bianco, who also claimed that Manson violated California human trafficking laws, settled with him outside of court back in January 2023. One of the women that Manson allegedly abused was due to go to trial against him next week. But just like with Bianco, this lawsuit, filed by a Jane Doe, also settled before the trial started and will likely be dismissed within the next 45 days. She and another woman filed anonymously for fear of their own safety. Jane Doe #1 spoke out, saying that she feared losing her anonymity if it had gone to trial, citing the threats, harassment, and intimidation she\u2019s received over the past few years. <\/p>\n

\n

Doe\u2019s suit, filed in 2021, alleged that the singer, whose real name is Brian Warner, raped her and deprived her of food, sleep, and a sense of safety. She claimed he threatened to \u201cbash her head in\u201d if she reported the abuse, which she said occurred in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was fully prepared for trial and never in a million years thought I would ever settle, but over the past two-and-a-half years I have silently endured threats, bullying, harassment and various forms of intimidation that have intensified over the past few weeks,\u201d Doe says in a statement to Rolling Stone. \u201cMarilyn Manson attended my deposition, and I was forced to answer seven hours of aggressive questioning with him staring at me from across the table. I\u2019ve been told that this almost never happens, as it\u2019s cruel, and that a main reason for it would be to intimidate and inflict emotional distress on a victim.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never cared about money and only ever wanted justice, but if we had gone to trial, I could have lost my right to anonymity and been victim-blamed on a large and public scale,\u201d she adds. \u201cMost importantly I could have risked losing the freedom to tell my story, and that is worth more than anything in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The terms of the settlement are not public. \u201cBrian is pleased that, just as previous lawsuits were abandoned without payment or settled for pennies on the dollar, this plaintiff has now agreed to drop her suit in exchange for an insurance payment representing a fraction of her demands and far less than the cost to Brian of proceeding to trial,\u201d Warner\u2019s attorney, Howard King, says in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf any other victims are reading this,\u201d Doe says, \u201cplease know that you are loved and supported even if it doesn\u2019t feel that way, and that in spite of everything I\u2019ve been through I don\u2019t for one second regret speaking up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to have supported Ms. Doe,\u201d Doe\u2018s lawyer, Wolf, says. \u201cMy law firm stands with those who bravely push back against misconduct in all forms, especially by high-profile, powerful men. We are dedicated to fighting for justice, no matter how long it takes. You are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another lawsuit by another Jane Doe, alleging years of grooming and abuse that began when she was a minor, is ongoing and remains the only outstanding legal action against Warner. The other Doe claims she first met Warner 1995 when she was 16 years old. She alleged that members of Warner\u2019s band watched him sexually assault her. He maintained contact with her, according to her suit, over many years, and when she was 19, he \u201cperpetuated his grooming, manipulation, exploitation and sexual assault of Plaintiff\u201d and allegedly coerced her into sex. Through his attorney, Warner denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From Yahoo]<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s very brave for Wood, Bianco, the Jane Does, and every other woman to speak out about what happened to them. Reading some of the things he allegedly did to them is absolutely horrific. It\u2019s so infuriating that after all that these women went through, they\u2019re still being harassed and intimidated. I don\u2019t blame them for settling to preserve their anonymity and help ensure their safety. All it takes is one charismatic abuser with a fan base and a huge PR budget and suddenly, the lines of victimhood are blurred. I hope Jane Doe and the other women who suffered by Manson\u2019s hands find peace and recovery.<\/p>\n
