Marilyn Manson‘s defamation suit against his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and her associate Ilma Gore was back in court last week. And Manson has been ordered to pay an additional $169,408 in legal fees.
The suit was filed in early 2022, when he alleged that Wood and her associate Gore had conspired to wage a "concerted smear campaign" against him. Wood had publicly came forward with allegations of abuse against Manson back in early 2021.
In the wake of that, as many as a dozen or more other women came forward with public allegations. Several filed civil lawsuits.
Rolling Stone reported that Manson‘s legal team, intends to prove his claims of the pairs wrongdoing in court.
