Marilyn Manson Ordered to Pay Evan Rachel Wood's Six-Figure Legal Fees

Marilyn Manson, also known as Brian Warner, has been ordered to pay Evan Rachel Wood $326,956 to cover her legal fees after a judge dismissed defamation and emotional distress claims from his lawsuit against her. The judge ruled that Wood was protected by the First Amendment when making allegations against Warner. Despite the dismissal, Wood and her friend still face claims of hacking and impersonation, with a trial set for May. Warner has denied the allegations and reached settlements with other accusers, while some lawsuits against him have been dismissed or recanted.
