Marilyn Manson sues Evan Rachel Wood over "malicious falsehood" of her sexual abuse allegations, accuses her of impersonating an FBI agent and hacking into his social media

Deadline

Manson's lawsuit, filed under his real name Brian Warner, alleges that the Westworld star manufactured evidence in her allegations painting him as an abuser and rapist. Manson's lawsuit also names Ashley Gore, Wood's on-again, off-again romantic partner. "The legal salvo goes on to make some very hard and very specific accusations against Wood and Gore," reports Deadline's Dominic Patten. "It alleges that the duo hacked into the singer’s computers and social media, well as 'created a fictitious email account to manufacture purported evidence that Warner was emailing illicit pornography.'" According to the lawsuit, "they impersonated an actual agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation by forging and distributing a fictitious letter from the agent, to create the false appearance that Warner’s alleged 'victims' and their families were in danger, and that there was a federal criminal investigation of Warner ongoing." Wood has yet to respond to Manson's lawsuit.
