MARILYN MANSON CRIES ON JOHNNY DEPP’S SHOULDER
Hides with pal as abuse claims rain down on him
SHAMELESS shock rocker Marilyn Manson plans to ride out his sex abuse scandal alongside tarnished star Johnny Depp after multiple women accused the creepylooking singer of vile and violent acts, sources said. Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, was accused of force-feeding women drugs, not allowing them to sleep and verbally threatening them — in addition to tying up galpals and sexually abusing them. His accusers include “Westworld” actress Evan Rachel Wood, 33, who claimed former fiancé Manson “horrifically abused me for years.” Four other gals made similar charges on Feb. 1 — and even more women have come forward since! However, the “Beautiful People”
all the allegations by saying: “These claims about me are
of reality. My intimate
always been entirely consensual … Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”
But after the charges emerged, Manson was dropped from his record label, Loma Vista Recordings, and his upcoming TV appearances on “Creepshow” and “American Gods” were scrapped!
In the aftermath, insiders said Manson consulted with pal Depp, 57, about how to handle the career-threatening backlash — a scenario familiar to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star following a British court’s 2020 ruling that he’d beaten ex-wife Amber Heard! Though Depp has denied the allegations, the court found the claims of abuse to be substantially true. A source said: “Johnny understands what it’s like to be ‘tried’ in the public eye … Marilyn’s bragging to mutual friends they are both planning to disappear and meet up in Europe.”
But sources said Manson — who married photographer Lindsay Usich, 36, last year — doesn’t plan to change his hard-partying ways, sparking drug fears for him and
Johnny.
“Friends are worried that Johnny or Marilyn, or both, could go too far and perhaps overdose,” tattled a tipster. “They feed off each other’s energy — and it’s a potentially dangerous combination.”
