Marilyn Manson‘s defamation suit against his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and her associate Ilma Gore was back in court last week. And Manson has been ordered to pay an additional $169,408 in legal fees.
The suit was filed in early 2022, when he alleged that Wood and her associate Gore had conspired to wage a “concerted smear campaign” against him. Wood had publicly came forward with allegations of abuse against Manson back in early 2021.
In the wake of that, as many as a dozen or more other women came forward with public allegations. Several filed civil lawsuits.
