A sexual abuse lawsuit filed against Marilyn Manson was dismissed by a federal judge in Los Angeles.
In Smithline's initial suit, she accused Manson, whose full name is Brian Warner, of multiple instances of rape and abuse between 2010 and 2013.
"Ms. Smithline has refused to be manipulated by others who are trying to pursue their own agendas against Mr. Warner. We wish her well and will continue to work to assure that a significant price will be paid by those who have tried to abuse our legal system." Manson's lawyer argued that the court filings showed "that before making their public accusations against Mr. Warner – all based on acts alleged to have occurred as much as ten or more years earlier – they met and spoke with each other, often as a group, regarding the accusations they would make."
"I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives. I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent."
