A California judge on Tuesday threw out key sections of Marilyn Manson's lawsuit against his former fiancée, “Westworld” actor Evan Rachel Wood.
“The ruling is disappointing but not unexpected,” Manson’s attorney Howard King said in an email. “The Court telegraphed this outcome when it refused to consider the bombshell sworn declaration of former plaintiff Ashley Smithline, which detailed how women were systematically pressured by Evan Rachel Wood and Illma Gore to make false claims about Brian Warner.”
Several women have sued Manson in recent years with allegations of sexual and other abuse. Most have been dismissed or settled, including a suit filed by “Game of Thrones” actor Esme Bianco. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly.
