Marilyn Manson recently claimed to have evidence that his former fiancée, Evan Rachel Wood, used a fake FBI letter to support false accusations against him. TMZ reported that Manson argued in new legal documents his lawsuit against Wood should be reconsidered.
The singer filed an emotional distress and defamation lawsuit against the ‘Into the Woods’ actress and her partner, Illma Gore, in March 2022. He claimed the two had made a plan to destroy his career by fabricating sexual abuse allegations against him.
Judge Teresa A. Beaudet of California dismissed the lawsuit in May 2023. Manson recently appealed this decision, citing an allegedly forged letter from an FBI agent that suggested he was under investigation and that his ‘victims’ were in danger.
The ‘Tainted Love’ singer included the letter in his the latest filings and noted that a declaration from Wood said she didn’t forge the document herself but didn’t deny it was forgery, either.
He also accused his ex-partner of seeking damaging information from his former employees, hacking his accounts, creating fake emails, and making a false police report to bring attention to her false accusations.
Marilyn Manson’s appeal questioned the court’s decision to not consider how one of his accusers, Ashley Smithline, withdrew her allegations by claiming Wood pressured her to lie about him, as well.
