Marilyn Manson accused of threatening ex-assistant over appearance in 'Phoenix Rising'
Marilyn Manson’s former assistant, Ashley Walters has submitted in a new complaint in court
March 17, 2022
Ashley Walters, Marilyn Manson’s former assistant, has alleged that she was received threats of legal actions to prohibit her appearance in Evan Rachel Wood’s documentary Phoenix Rising.
Walter took the matter to court on Friday after the Los Angeles court asked her team to come up with an amended complaint by March 11 over the timeline of the allegation with respect to a two-year statute of limitations.
“On January 7, 2022, Defendants sent Plaintiff an email through her counsel, threatening to take retaliatory legal action against her if she 'participate[ed] in any interviews about Mr. Warner or reveal[ed] any confidential information' about him," Walter’s amended complaint reads.
Wood was slammed with a lawsuit by Manson on March 2 – just ahead of the release of her documentary, over "a malicious falsehood that has derailed Warner's successful music, TV, and film career."
The Sweet Dreams singer’s assistant initially dragged Manson into the court between 2010 to 2011 over alleged sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress in May 2021, as per court documents.
