Marilyn Manson's ex-assistant Ashley Walters was granted a November 2027 trial date for her claims of sexual assault and battery

Marilyn Manson accuser Ashley Walters survived another challenge to her long-running lawsuit accusing Manson of sexual assault and workplace abuse

Marilyn Manson has agreed to drop his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood and will pay her more than $300,000 in attorneys' fees

The rocker's attorney described a judge's overturning 10 objections as "disappointing but not unexpected" as musician plans appeal

Model Ashley Morgan Smithline said in a voicemail last year that she believed rocker's attorney wanted her to “turn on the other girls and say that it was all a ruse”

“This is part of the retaliation that keeps survivors quiet,” actress says

Phoenix Rising will premiere on HBO Tuesday

Filing comes ahead of documentary about actress’ sexual and physical abuse allegations against musician

Two-part documentary will launch next month

Ashley Walters says violence, intimidation, and “other coercive acts” delayed her legal complaint, so Manson shouldn’t be allowed to claim her right to sue for “deranged” acts of sexual harassment and abuse has expired
