Marilyn Manson's case against Evan Rachel Wood partially dismissed by California judge

Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson's defamation case against actor Evan Rachel Wood has taken a hit after a California judge dismissed most of the musician's claims. Manson had filed the suit in March of this year after Wood accused him of abusing her during their relationship. However, Judge Teresa A. Beaudet cited California's anti-SLAPP statute and the protection of individual free speech while granting Wood's special motion to strike in part. Manson's lawyers' attempts to discredit Wood by claiming she had written a fake FBI letter and pressured women to make false allegations against Manson, were among the claims dismissed.

The case can continue on the remaining counts, but Manson's team plan to appeal the decision. The defamation case came a year after Wood publicly accused Manson of abusing and "grooming" her during their relationship. Several others have also come forward with allegations of abuse, and Manson has lost his record label, TV gigs and CAA representation as a result.

A number of cases and claims against Manson have been dropped, settled, or dismissed over the past year.

Best Hollywood Urban Myth: A. Marilyn Manson is Paul Pfeiffer B. Rod Stewart blew too many sailors and had to have his stomach pumped. C. Stallone gets under the glass table and has the maid shit on it. D. Richard Gere and the gerbils. E. Frank Zappa ate shit on stage.

With the Stallone thing, you still flinch when it comes at you, even though the table is there to block the dook. It's pure instinct. Expensive, but worth it.

look at those ruby red knob polishers on Brian's cock holster!

anonymous 5/11/2023 9:20:30 AM

She backed her mouth off when it grew. Shit! It was like 8 inches long! She'd never seen one so big. She hoped he wouldn't thrust or he'd gag her with it. She worked on his cock. She slid her mouth up and down it. She slid her pursed lips along the sides of it. She felt his hands loosely on the back of her head. At least, he wasn't ramming her mouth forward. The beautiful people, the beautiful people she moaned

I don't want to pretend this site was ever any good besides wasting time reading the comments, but I can't believe it has gotten this much worse. Gotta get those SEO clicks.
