A woman who accused Marilyn Manson of rape on The View has now claimed she was lying - and that she was pressured into doing so by the rocker's ex Rachel Evan Wood.
Ashley Morgan Smithline, 38, who had a brief relationship with Manson back in 2010 told Page Six that she 'succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against [Manson] that were not true.'
The model who is of Jewish-heritage previously accused Manson, 54, of raping her, cutting her with a swastika-emblazoned knife, and putting his fist in her mouth during sex.
She went on The View to detail the allegations, and even called Manson 'a monster' on the cover of People after filing the lawsuit in June 2021.
Last month, Smithline's case against Manson was dismissed. And she's now admitted lying, while claiming Evan Rachel Wood pressured her into doing so by suggesting she may have been so traumatized by a sex attack that she'd no longer be able to remember it.
