Marilyn Manson accuses Evan Rachel Wood of forging a letter to the FBI
nme.comMarilyn Manson has accused Evan Rachel Wood of falsifying a letter to the FBI in an alleged attempt to smear his image.In March 2022, Manson brought a defamation case against the actress and his former partner, who claimed that the musician started grooming her when she was a teenager and “horrifically abused me for years”.In response, Manson denied all allegations and claimed in a lawsuit that Wood “recruited, coordinated, and pressured” women to make false statements about the musician.
The case’s key claims were dismissed in May of last year.Now, Manson is claiming in renewed litigation with Wood that she had forged an FBI letter from a real agent as a way to smear his image.
He claimed that the letter made look like he was under some kind of federal investigation with his alleged victims in danger.According to TMZ, Manson has argued that his former fiancee had fabricated sexual abuse allegations against him and included the FBI letter in the documents the outlet had obtained, sharing that Wood had signed a declaration which stated that she did not forge the letter.
However, she didn’t deny that it was a forgery.The rockstar’s original claims against Wood were dismissed by a judge, but now he is attempting to revive the case after claiming that the facts weren’t all considered.Earlier this year, it was revealed that Manson was ordered to pay even more legal fees in regard to the case, bringing the total to nearly $500,000 (£396,000).The musician was ordered to pay Wood’s legal fees of roughly $326,000.
