There has been a key update in the ongoing legal battle between Marilyn Manson and his ex-fianceé Evan Rachel Wood, who has alleged that Manson - real name Brian Warner - abused her during their relationship.
Yesterday (Tuesday May 9), a California judge tossed out key sections of Manson's lawsuit against Wood, which accused Wood of fabricating her stories of abuse, while also accusing Wood of encouraging other women to come forward with allegations of their own.
Manson's lawsuit claimed that Wood and another defendant, Illma Gore, defamed Manson, negatively impacting his career in film, music and television and causing him emotional distress.
It also claimed that the two womens' accusations used 'false pretenses', including as a faked FBI letter, to convince other women to come forward with abuse allegations against Manson.
