Big update on Marilyn Manson’s legal troubles…
As we’ve previously reported, the 54-year-old musician has been accused of sexual assault, rape, battery, trafficking, and more over the past two years by several victims, including one woman who filed a lawsuit under the name Jane Doe. Back in 2021, the unidentified victim claimed Marilyn raped and sexually abused her multiple times throughout their relationship in 2011. She also alleged he deprived her of food, sleep, and safety, and threatened to “bash her head in” if she ever reported the abuse.
In the filing, the woman said she had “repressed” the memories of the assaults until February of that year when several women publicly accused him of physical and sexual abuse. But at the time, a judge dismissed her case as the claims made in the lawsuit were “not sufficient to invoke the delayed discovery rule” and get around the lapsed statute of limitations period. However, she didn’t back down. Jane Doe ended up refiling the lawsuit weeks later. And two years later, we’re getting a huge update on the case.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, her attorney, Adam Wolf, filed a notice of settlement with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles on Wednesday and plans to submit a request to dismiss the case within the next 45 days.
Whoa.
The exact details of the settlement have not been revealed at this time. But following the news, Marilyn’s lawyer, Howard King, issued a statement to People, saying she agreed to “an insurance payment” in exchange
