Marilyn Manson To Pay Evan Rachel Wood’s $330K Legal Fees As Faded Shock Rocker Deep Sixes Defamation Suit Against ‘Westworld’ Star

deadline.com:

Fading rocker Marilyn Manson has to pay up after pulling the plug on his long running defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood. “Marilyn Manson—whose real name is Brian Warner—filed a lawsuit against Ms.

Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career,” the Westwood star’s attorney Michael Kump told Deadline today of the March 2022 action “But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms.

Wood failed.” “As the trial court correctly found, Warner’s claims were meritless, the Kinsella Holley Iser Kump Steinsapir LLP partner added. “Warner’s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms.

Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.” From court documents that Deadline has seen, the end of the suit and the agreement to pay Manson’s former long term girlfriend’s legal fees was signed yesterday by the self-declared Antichrist Superstar.
