Marilyn Manson has attempted a comeback by announcing his first live dates since 2019.The disgraced singer is set to support Five Finger Death Punch on a run of dates across North America in August and September. Controversial deathcore band Slaughter To Prevail – whose frontman Alex Terrible has expressed homophobic and transphobic views – also set to open for them.The dates are the first since a raft of sexual abuse allegations were levelled against him in February 2021, including by his ex-fiancee Evan Rachel Wood, who made allegations of rape, torture, and threats.
Since then, separate claims of abuse from more than 12 women have also been made.Numerous lawsuits have ensued since, with Manson consistently denying the allegations. In March 2022, Manson brought a defamation case against Wood but the case’s key claims were dismissed last May.
However, some parts of the case are still pending and a trial is set for May 1 this year.In January, he was ordered to pay Wood’s legal fees of roughly $326,000. In addition, it was reported last month that Manson will pay the legal fees of artist Illma Gore, who is named as a second defendant and described as Wood’s “on-again, off-again romantic partner” in his defamation lawsuit.Gore is reportedly owed over $160,000, bringing Manson’s total to nearly $500,000.
The reimbursements were awarded under California’s anti-SLAPP statute, which says that defendants unfairly sued for their freedom of speech can have their attorney’s costs paid for by the plaintiff.Other accusers include Game of Thrones actress and former girlfriend Esme Bianco and ex-girlfriend Ashley Morgan Smithline. The lawsuit filed by Smithline has since been dismissed, while Manson denied Bianco’s claims as

Michael Jackson biopic will reportedly address the allegations of child sexual abuse against the singer.Given that the film has the approval of the Jackson estate, it had been unclear whether the film would explore the most controversial aspects of his life, but a new report suggests it will.Puck News’ Matthew Belloni has obtained an early draft of the script, and says that the film “wants very much to convince you Michael is innocent”, adding that it goes to “great lengths to minimise and downplay the actual claims and eviscerate the Chandlers”.In 1993, Evan Chandler, a dentist and screenwriter based in Los Angeles, accused Jackson of sexually abusing his 13-year-old son Jordan. The case was concluded when the two parties reached a financial settlement in 1994.In 2013, four years after Jackson’s death, the choreographer Wade Robson filed a lawsuit against his estate, saying Jackson had sexually abused him between the ages of seven and 14.
