Judge Orders Marilyn Manson to Pay Evan Rachel Wood's Legal Fees

Marilyn Manson has been ordered by a judge to pay Evan Rachel Wood's legal fees incurred while defending against his defamation and emotional distress claims, although the amount is slightly less than what Wood requested. The defamation lawsuit filed by Manson in 2022 has had many accusations thrown out by the judge, but some claims are still pending a verdict. Additionally, a lawsuit accusing Manson of sexual assault, discrimination, battery, and harassment by his former personal assistant has been revived in an appeals court, and he settled a 2021 lawsuit filed by an anonymous accuser.
