Marilyn Manson returns to tour after rape allegations. Activists are furious

• Copy Link URL Copied!
• Protesters show up at his concert and confront fans. “I wonder what it is about Manson that makes it hard for people to give him up,” one protester says.
• The activists prompt counter-protesters with “#MeToo hoax” signs.
• The singer, who denies the allegations, plans to release a new album this fall.

Outside the Honda Center in Anaheim in early September, a group of a dozen or so protesters shouted at black-clad Marilyn Manson fans as they filed into the arena.

This was Manson’s first tour in years, after at least four women alleged in civil suits and other court filings that the singer 55, sexually and physically assaulted them. Manson, born Brian Warner, has denied all their claims.

“You’re supporting a rapist!” one female protester yelled. “He tortures and rapes women!”

“They were asking for it!” A male Manson fan yelled back, perhaps in jest, but with enough fury that a shoving match broke out between him and the crowd outside.

Since 2021, Manson’s old record label and agency cut ties, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department raided his L.A. home and at least a dozen women came forward with claims against him. The famously transgressive artist was, to many rock fans, now synonymous with real violence.

Manson is no longer going away quietly.

Marilyn Manson’s accusers detail his alleged abuse. ‘He’s so much worse than his persona’

Court records reviewed by The Times and nearly two dozen interviews portray Manson as a transgressive artist who mistreated and isolated women.

On Nov. 22, he’ll release a new album, “One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1.” His return has sparked outrage from women who have alleged abuse and activists who are aghast that Manson is performing in arenas again.

“It’s so wild that Manson’s on this tour and he already has a new record label,” said Caroline Heldman, an activist who organized the protest outside Manson’s Honda Center show this month. “It’s just brazenly siding with an accused rapist. I’ve never seen anything like it, or a more blatant example of profit over decency.”

“I wonder what it is about Manson that makes it hard for people to give him up,” Heldman asked. “It really speaks to depths of how little we care about sexual violence in this culture, and how little his fans care.”

Manson’s attorney, Howard King, described the allegations to The Times as “lurid claims” with “three things in common — they are all false, alleged to have taken place more than a decade ago and part of a coordinated attack by former partners and associates of Mr. Warner who have weaponized the otherwise mundane details of his personal life and their consensual relationships into fabricated horror stories.”

“Mr. Warner vehemently denies any and all claims of sexual assault or abuse of anyone,” King added.

Most prominent among Manson’s accusers has been “Westworld” actor Evan Rachel Wood, who was in a romantic relationship with Manson for three years. After she came forward, Manson sued the actor for defamation. In an anti-SLAPP filing this year, Wood alleged: “For years, Plaintiff Brian Warner raped and tortured Defendant Evan Rachel Wood and threatened retaliation if she told anyone about it.” A judge threw out portions of Manson’s defamation suit in August, though the suit is ongoing.

In 2021 actor Esmé Bianco sued Manson, alleging sexual assault, sexual battery and human trafficking. The two settled Bianco’s lawsuit in 2023. The same year, Manson settled a suit with a Jane Doe alleging “forced oral and vaginal rape.”

Manson’s former assistant, Ashley Walters, recently revived a lawsuit against Manson alleging sexual assault and harassment. Hearings are scheduled for 2025.

In November 2021, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department raided Manson’s home after a nearly two year investigation into the assault allegations. In 2022, the Sheriff’s Department gave its investigation to the Los Angeles County district attorney, though Manson has not been charged.

Wood and Bianco’s claims of abuse helped to spur the passage of California’s Phoenix Act, which extends the statute of limitations on domestic violence to five years, so survivors have more time to come forward. Two recent documentary series, Wood’s own “Phoenix Rising” and “Marilyn Manson: Unmasked,” explore the many claims against him.

Nonetheless, Manson’s comeback is underway.

After his old label, Loma Vista, dropped and disavowed him, he signed to the underground metal label Nuclear Blast and released new music. On this arena tour, he opened for the hard rock group Five Finger Death Punch.

For the women who have accused Manson of assault, seeing him back onstage playing to adoring crowds is frightening and demoralizing.

“If he doesn’t go to prison or get in any trouble for what he’s done, how do other survivors feel?” said Bianca Kyne, who alleged in a 2023 lawsuit that Manson sexually assaulted her multiple times in the 1990s, beginning when she was a minor. “If the most obvious case gets off scot-free, this must destroy the hope of women who have been assaulted by other people in the music industry.”

Manson is “as vile and violent as he is cunning,” said Jeff Anderson, Kyne’s attorney in her lawsuit against Manson. “He’s a predator that presents more of a danger to youth than few I’ve encountered in 40 years of working with survivors.”

Manson attorney Howard King said, in a statement about Kyne, that “Brian Warner does not know this individual and has no recollection of ever having met her 28 years ago. He certainly was never intimate with her. She has been shopping her fabricated tale to tabloids and on podcasts for more than three years. But even the most minimal amount of scrutiny reveals the obvious discrepancies in her ever-shifting stories as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers.”

Kyne spoke before the Anaheim City Council and unsuccessfully asked officials to stop Manson’s show. “That one of hardest things I’ve ever done. I prepared a speech, but I broke down in tears when trying to tell them how I felt,” Kyne said. ”It’s sad, I felt like maybe I was heard, but it wasn’t going to make a difference.”

The Anaheim protesters were met with a small group of live-streaming counter-protesters, who held signs calling the allegations against Manson a ”#MeToo hoax.”

Kristen Lacefield, a YouTuber known as Colonel Kurtz, called the claims against him “a longstanding hoax that’s been perpetuated for almost four years,” citing former Manson accuser Ashley Morgan Smithline recanting her allegations.

“The persona of Marilyn Manson is different from the real person,” Lacefield said. “This man is not guilty of what he’s being accused of.”

In Anaheim, Manson fans seemed aware of the myriad allegations, lawsuits and criminal investigations against him. Most were conflicted but said their love for his music outweighed qualms about his conduct.

“My first concert was seeing him in 1999 at this venue,” said Ozma Stasinski, of Long Beach. “I’m a steadfast fan. I know there’s some controversy, but things are never as they seem. If he was like ‘Hey come back to my place for drinks,’ I’d probably say, ‘Maybe not.’ But he’s had his issues and he’s come back, he looks beautiful. I can separate the art from the artist.”

Jeff Witt, of Fullerton, first saw Manson in 1994 at the Universal Amphitheater. “The way society is now, everyone’s guilty before they’re tried,” he said. “This guy’s been crucified. I know he has a bad reputation, but I can’t say anything bad about him until he’s been proven guilty.”

Even younger female fans said they weighed the allegations against the impact of his art.

“I don’t think anything excuses [abuse],” said Alyssa, a young fan in a Manson T-shirt who declined to give her last name. “But Chris Brown beat the f— out of Rihanna and people still love him. I do believe that Manson has good music, and I’m going to listen to good music. When you have someone into the shock factor, you’ve got to expect the shock.”

Recording Academy faces claims of past use of NDAs to silence women about sexual abuse allegations

The Recording Academy, which presents the Grammy Awards, is facing renewed questions surrounding its handling of claims of misconduct by former executives.

Feb. 2, 2024

When Manson took the Honda Center stage before strobe-lit inverted crosses, he snarled and strutted as he sang “We Know Where You F— Live,” a menacing recent single (one that his accusers said they found unnerving). Between songs, he staked his claim on his fans: “Nobody’s gonna take you away from me, I’m not f— disposable!” he yelled before playing “Disposable Teens.”

Later, before his ‘90s hit “Tourniquet,” he alluded to the allegations, telling the crowd that, “After all the hatred and lies beating me down, there’s one thing I can believe in, and that’s you.”

Laina Dawes, a metal scholar and author of “What Are You Doing Here?,” said that Manson correctly intuited that his fans would welcome him back.

“Right now is the best time for disgraced heavy metal musicians to come back into the limelight,” Dawes said. “We’re now in a post-Me Too era, when people are retracting from taking issues like assault seriously. If you listen to Manson’s new song ‘Raise the Red Flag,” It’s him saying ‘You need to apologize not me, I’m not apologizing to you.’ ”

The song’s lyrics are clear: “I don’t give a f— if you say you’re sorry / I won’t accept your surrender,” he sings. “It’s time to beat up the bullies / And wash the bull’s-eye off my back / My red flag is your white one soaked in blood.”

Manson cast his latest backing band with a female guitarist, Reba Meyers of the Grammy-nominated band Code Orange. Representatives for Code Orange did not respond to requests for comment on the Manson tour, though Meyers wrote on Instagram, “I’m proud to represent the growth, confidence, forgiveness, humanity, and change that comes with this, and to be up there with such talented mother—. Everyone is aiming for growth and not stagnation. World needs that attitude right now.”

Dawes said that Manson hiring Meyers was a smart, if cynical, move for both.

“I don’t know what that woman was thinking,” Dawes said of Meyers. “She’s a very talented woman, one of very few in underground metal who has made a name for herself, and that’s so disappointing. This elevates her as a musician, but why put yourself in that position? Why tie your young career to [him]?”

It’s unclear what market remains for Manson as a headliner and festival act.

Dave Brooks, Billboard’s senior director of live music and touring, said that based on ticket sales, this Live Nation-promoted tour with Five Finger Death Punch was doing “OK at best. Manson has done really well in California historically, especially as part of package tours, so the fact that some of these shows are tanking is not great for him.”

Yet Kanye West, another controversial artist and a Manson ally, has returned to touring and headlining festivals like Rolling Loud. Brooks believes that many promoters “will take a chance on anyone if they think they will sell tickets,” he said.

Manson’s tour may best thrive among revanchist, Me Too-skeptical crowds in the red-leaning areas he once scandalized.

“I don’t think talent buyers and promoters and venues care that much about Me Too,” Brooks said. “But it’s really hard to tell where fans are at. Until he does a small headline show or a real co-headline run, its hard to know.”

For the women who allege they were assaulted and abused by Manson, his return to stages underscores fears that the music industry does not listen to them, and will support artists that make money no matter what they’re accused of.

“He’s never changed. The only thing left that he’s truly afraid of,” Kyne said, “is going to prison.”

Brian Hugh Warner, better known as Marliyn Manson is an American musician, songwriter and multimedia artist from Ohio who has worked in fields including music, film and art.

Manson's first exposure to the music industry came whilst he was studying a journalism degree at Broward Community College in Florida, to gain experience he got a job working for 25th Parallel Magazine. He met several musicians including Nine Inch Nails, The Perfect and Trent Reznor who went on to inspire his own musical stylings in the future. Manson began to make music with guitarist Scott Putesky under the name Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, they later shortened it to just Marilyn Manson and continued to create demos and play small gigs.

In 1993, the band won the attention of Trent Reznor who agreed to release their first album on his label 'Portrait Of An American Family', it was not a commercial success at the time but has now sold over 600,000 copies in the US. This album gained the band a cult following when they toured it around the States. The follow up EP Smells Like Children and their first MTV hit in the form of a cover of Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' increased their fan base dramatically ahead of their second album release. 'Antichrist Superstar' has sold over seven million copies worldwide to date and became the turning point in the band's career, the combination of Manson as an eccentric frontman and the warped lyrics found in their discography turned their live shows into a cult phenomena which toured all over the world.

Manson has also worked within the film industry, making his debut in 1997 'Lost Highway' that was directed by David Lynch and has had minor roles in a number of films during his career. He is known as a controversial figure in the mainstream media due to his gothic appearance and demonic lyrics which are said to have a negative effect on his young listeners.

Live reviews

I’m so bored with the rain at Red Rocks this year, but evidently it’s not quite done with me yet. The sky pissed down on us while we were tailgating. It pissed down on us while we were in line to get in. And it pissed on us sideways as Cage tried to warm thing up with a spitfire set of hostile hip-hop. God must have gotten on Mother Nature’s bad side though, because everything cleared up for the Antichrist Superstar. As the preacher preached about Satan, the wind removed the elaborate backdrop to expose the rocks behind. “Let me hear you Red Rocks!”, Manson demanded in a surprisingly strong voice against the current of air blowing toward the stage. “Deep Six”, from his best album in ages, kicked things off before Manson thanked Denver for staying loyal. I’ve seen Manson perform a few times since I’ve lived in Colorado and he really has a soft spot for the fans who stuck by him when the zealots were trying to crucify him over the Columbine High School massacre. Of course he had nothing to do with that tragedy, but that didn’t stop the death threats when he’d come through the state. “Disposable Teens” was written about that situation, so it was a fitting dedication to the growing crowd. “mOBSCENE”, “No Reflection” and “Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge” are all great songs as well, and the band performed the hell out of them, but it wasn’t Manson broke a bottle and cut himself with it that I thought the show might be slightly different than those I’ve seen since the Dead to the World Tour in ’96. Sure enough, after giving props to Cage and Twiggy, the stilts came out for “Sweet Dreams”, which was pretty cool, but when he gave flight to “Angel With The Scabbed Wings”, I knew we were going down the path of sweet destruction. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2015/07/15/the-end-times-tour-red-rocks-07-13-15/#sthash.tUiypQIB.dpuf

I'm aware how easy it would be to assume a "super fan" of Marilyn Manson might say what I'm about to say but, I began to get extremely (and I mean extremely) nervous to do this. Meet him, that is. I purchased VIP meet & greet bc I admire him as an artist but mainly for him as an individual. He's intelligent. He has opinions. He talks & makes music about things that actually matter. He uses his soapbox to say things people should hear. Point being is, I do idolize Marilyn Manson. I do consider him a role model. His music is not what makes me a fan (granted I am a fan of it) but it's who he presents himself to be and how he portrays it. After realizing I know this about myself I didn't know why I would allow myself to do this. Never meet your idols they say. They can let you down. I think Manson *seems* like a great dude but, he IS a rock star. What if he crushes my whole admiration for him by not living up to my expectations? Panic! Well let me tell you.. Marilyn Manson is one guy who is exactly who he says he is. I can shed a tear about how sincere he was and how personal he tried to be with his fans. He EXCEEDED everything I imagined. If it wasn't for management forcing me off of his tour bus, i don't think he would have asked me to leave. I feel so lucky that the person I have been crazy about for idk how many years was exactly "what you see is what you get" and literally left an imprint on me forever. Way to not let a fan down in ANY way, shape, or form, Marilyn Manson. Who would of thought I could be any bigger of a fan than I already was.

Marilyn Manson still rocking cultness and creativity. Though Marilyn Manson's concerts seem best fitted for a small to medium size venue, he nonetheless continues to deliver the goods. I have seen him multiple times in multiple venues and sizes of such, from GA/standing room only in the lobby of another theatre, to midway back in a moderate-sized arena and in the pit almost as close as the stage itself at a summer festival. Theatricality continues to be a vital and integral part of any given set. Not only that, but with something always in the bag of tricks and a campy wardrobe, Manson is never the same man twice. Depending on the theme of the album he tours in support of, he rocks duds to pair with the music in question and also utilises matching stage props. Still, Manson sings a healthy cross section of songs old and new, always with a dark ambiance as is evident in the instrumentation. His backup band has included numerous members coming and going along the way such as Madonna Wayne Gacy aka Pogo on keyboards, drummer Ginger Fish and guitarist John 5, the latter two of whom have also worked with Rob Zombie, and Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna. Regardless, Manson has always handpicked, toured and recorded with a truly star studded cast. Wailing, intricate guitar solos combine with electronics and thumping bass and drum beats, resulting in a satisfying performance!

What a show! As well as being a brilliant and talented artist, he's just such a performer as well. I have like Manson for a while, and I wanted to see him in concert. I expected it to be brilliant, but this exceeded all possible expectations! He began with 'Deep Six', a real belter in its own right. Then, soon after, he played 'mOBSCENE', which sounded fantastic, and was a highlight of the evening. After a few more great songs, came 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)', with Manson on stilts for the entire time- sounded just like the record, if not better. Later on came dope show, with Manson dressed in his typical celebrity outfit, which really rang with the Manson fans. Probably the absolute highlight was 'Anti-Christ Superstar', with Manson on his podium, with a burning book, and with the crowd infatuated with him. At some point in this period of time, Manson has also cut himself with a broken bottle, which was quite the spectacle. Then to finish, a few more songs were played, including 'The Beautiful People', which was both eerie and fantastic. Overall, I would recommend Manson as a performer and as an artist to anyone who likes that genre, and I can assure you, you are very unlikely to be disappointed!

Marilyn Manson is an artist known as much for his controversy as his creativity. A visual performer who has been involved in many forms of the media including music, film and art over his long career. His live show is something of cult legend these days so from the dark opening riffs of 'Angel With The Scabbed Wings', the audience know they are in for a visual experience more than a simple gig.

Manson is known for heavily involving theatrics into his live show and you are never quite prepare for what he'll have lurking in his bag of tricks. He also appears to dress to match the music or album that is promoting at the time. Playing a good mixture of new material, Manson stormed through these songs in quick succession.

Although it was his cult classics such as 'The Beautiful People' and 'The Dope Show' that achieved the greatest reaction from the rabbling crowd. His cover of Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams' was camp, twisted and eccentric, everything Manson is known for. Another great cover of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' wraps up a fast paced, but brilliant set.

Marilyn Manson was phenomenal. Not as energetic as the show I went to last year, but I can understand what touring can do in the long run. I was concerned about his health for he was looking rather weak and I was worried that his health problems may be acting up. Hopefully, after this tour, he can take a well deserved rest.

However, he didn't disappoint me when it came to his shock theatrics. From cutting himself to walking on stilts to screaming on the top of his Antichrist Superstar podium, he amazed me and never ceases to. The seat I had was great, and for his closing song (The Beautiful People), he came out into the crowd and he walked right by me and got a nice picture of him.

Despite not playing as many songs as the last show and mostly his metal songs, I will always try to make one show per year. Manson has always been one of my top favorite artists, and always will be. And even if he is in a wheelchair or crawling on the stage, gasping for air, but still singing his heart out and playing occasional instruments, I will always stay a devoted fan.

Having been a fan of Marilyn Manson now for 25 years I first saw Mr Manson at 'The Milton Keynes Bowl' UK big day out back in 1999 and he owned the stage blowing everyone else out of the water,he was on the same bill as 'Metallica' and was way better to be fair.

It was some time before I saw Manson again at 'The Wolverhampton Civic' UK in 2015 and for anyone who tells you that Marilyn's voice is not what it used to be its a out and out lie!

Believe me when I say that man can truly sing and has a rock voice gifted from the gods!,he was well and truly on form and totally rocked! I was in awe of his singing and showmanship, he definetely well and truly owned the stage and brought all his fans together old and young and didn't dissapoint me.

He even played some of the older stuff from the'Antichrist Superstar'era so I was 'hella happy'.

I would give him 1 million out of 10 in terms of a perforamce,go see him you won't be left dissapointed,in fact I was buzzing after his gig for months and can't wait until he plays in my area in the UK again.

Terrible, terrible gig. One of the worst, if not the worst, gig I have ever been to.

I'm a fan of Marilyn Manson's work, especially the last three albums. His live performance, however, leaves much to be desired. Main points below:

#1 Weak voice - raspy, but not in a good way

#2 Obvious animosity between Brian and his guitarist

#3 Pauses between songs, sometimes longer than the songs themselves.

If I'd sum up the pauses between the songs they would last longer than the sum of the songs performed.

#4 Dropping mic after EVERY song

#5 Only played "the best of" set list, pretty much "fan service" and again - not in the good way

#6 Ended abrubtly with no indication

#7 Almost no crowd interaction

Stone Sour was their support and they did a HELL of a job - it felt as though MM was THEIR support, only the perform order was mixed up for some reason. I wanted to see Marilyn Manson for quite a long time and after yesterday I am not willing to see them ever again live.

This was my first time seeing Manson and my first time going to the Rave, I'm not really a big Manson fan but my girlfriend is and we had always heard his shows were very theatrical, so we got VIP Balcony tickets.

Got there early to get a seat, we found some left center stage.

The acoustics of the building naturally make the music echo slightly, which made it difficult to hear when he was talking.

I was somewhat disappointed as to the lack of theatrics that I was expecting.

Weird note though, I took a few videos with my phone and when I got home, I could hear (and sometimes see) better on the video then I could when I was there live.

Glad we got to see him, not sure I'd see him again because I'm not that into it.

As far as The Rave venue, I probably would go if it was the right band to see.

I can see that louder bands in there would, in my opinion, be too loud for the room.

Marilyn Manson is a true rock star if there ever was one! I've been waiting 17 years to finally see him live and he did not disappoint. Yes, I should have seen him many times by now based on my love of his music and the fact that I dressed as him for Halloween when I was 14 years old, much to the dismay of my school teachers. However, it wasn't until last night that I finally saw him live. Good to see that he was able to deliver a great performance even after all of these years on the stage. He preformed many songs from the newest album, Pale Emperor, which I really love and he also preformed the classics. Every few songs the stage would change like acts of a play, as well as his clothes. Each time, representing the different versions of himself over the years based on each album. Screw Madonna, Marilyn Manson is the best at reinventing himself year after year.

Marilyn Manson Hitting the Road with Five Finger Death Punch For First Dates Since Sexual Abuse Allegations

The summer/fall 2024 tour will be the metal singer's first public in five years.

[Trigger warning: this article contains descriptions of domestic violence, as well as sexual and physical abuse.]

Marilyn Manson announced his first live dates in nearly five years on Friday (March 8), marking the shock rocker’s return to the road after more than half a dozen women accused the him of sexual and emotional abuse. The news came in an X post in which Manson revealed that he and Slaughter to Prevail will be hitting the road this summer/fall for a 30-date arena/amphitheater tour with Five Finger Death Punch slated to kick off on August 2 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA.

A Timeline of Abuse Allegations Against Marilyn Manson

Trending on billboard.

The singer was sued over allegations of sexual assault against a minor in January 2023, in which the “Jane Doe” claimed Manson groomed and sexually assaulted the then-underage girl early in his career. The graphic details of that Doe suit closely match the allegations from a number of the other women who have made claims against Manson, including that the singer subjected them to “ hostile and verbally abusive behavior ,” as well as racially charged language mixed with the sharing of intimate personal details.

After initially declining to name Manson as her abuser, Wood posted an Instagram statement in Feb. 2021 in which she wrote that “he [Manson] started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander or blackmail.” Among her horrifying claims were that Manson would “draw swastikas over my bedside table when he was mad at me” and that he would allegedly tie the actress up and torture her ritualistically, lashing her to a “kneeler” bench and hitting her “over and over” with a Nazi whip from the Holocaust before shocking her welts and private areas until she broke the bench in half. Following Wood’s claims four other women came forward with similar allegations against Manson in a  Vanity Fair article.

The “Antichrist Superstar” singer has been off the road since the final August 18, 2019 date on the Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies joint tour with Rob Zombie and hasn’t released new music since his 2020 We Are Chaos album.

Marilyn Manson to Make Comeback on 2024 North American Tour With Five Finger Death Punch

The embattled shock rocker will play his first shows in nearly five years

Embattled shock rocker Marilyn Manson will return to the stage on a 2024 North American tour supporting headliner Five Finger Death Punch . The dates will mark Manson’s first shows since a bevy of sexual assault accusations effectively put a halt to his career.

The 26-date outing, which also features Slaughter to Prevail, kicks off August 2nd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and runs through a September 19th show in Houston, Texas.

A Live Nation pre-sale starts Wednesday, March 13th, at 10 a.m. local time using the code KEY , while artist pre-sales begin as early as Monday, March 11th. General sales start Friday, March 15th, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster . Fans can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out dates via StubHub , where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

The inclusion of Manon on the bill comes as a major surprise, considering he was essentially “canceled” following accusations of abuse by his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and several other women beginning in February 2021. A number of lawsuits ensued, and have either been settled, dismissed, or are still ongoing. Manson has denied any wrongdoing in most of the cases.

Manson hasn’t performed since taking the stage for a Los Angeles benefit show in January 2020. His last full concert took place in November 2019.

Five Finger Death Punch, meanwhile, are set to release a deluxe edition of their 2022 album AfterLife on April 5th, including the new song “This Is the Way” featuring vocals from late rapper DMX.
