Marilyn Manson filed a complaint on Wednesday once morest his ex-girlfriend Rachel Even Wood, an American actress who accused him of rape. The American singer accuses him of having engaged in an operation of conspiracy, fraud and defamation to destroy his career.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, accuses the actress and her “romantic partner,” entertainer Illma Gore, of fabricating malicious charges once morest Marilyn Manson, including posing as an FBI agent to incite ” potential accusers to emerge simultaneously with allegations of rape and assault”.
The two women are accused of providing the accusers with “lists and scripts” and making “false statements to potential accusers” as part of a project that “might benefit both of them”.
A lawsuit to put an end to these allegations, claims the singer
Marilyn Manson is asking for a jury trial to put an end to these allegations and assess the damages owed to her. His lawyers claim in the complaint that Illma Gore “hacked” into his computers, telephone, email and other social media accounts and described these actions as “invasive, harassing, defamatory and harmful”.
Marilyn Manson posted her complaint on Twitter, commenting, “The time will come when I can share more regarding the events of the past year. Until then, I’ll let the facts speak for themselves.”
