MARILYN MANSON HEADS BACK TO COURT

A fourth woman is suing Marilyn Manson for sexual abuse. Ashley Smithline, 36, submitted her complaint on June 29 to the Central District of California, alleging that the musician, 52, raped, whipped, burned and cut her.

The model claims that Manson “branded” her by carving his initials into her thigh with a knife decorated with a swastika. “I survived a monster,” Smithline told People in May about her relationship with the rocker.

Manson is also being sued by Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco, his former personal assistant Ashley Walters and now a woman who wishes to remain anonymous. The rocker has previously denied all claims, referring to them as “horrible distortions of reality” that misrepresent consensual relationships with “like-minded partners”.

Earlier this year, Manson’s ex, Evan Rachel Wood, accused the singer of “grooming” and “horrifically abusing” her during their relationship.
