Manson and Wood began a relationship in 2007, when she was 18 and Manson was 36.
After her allegations were made public other women came forward to say they had also been abused by Manson.
“My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.
Woods released further details about her alleged abuse and in March 2022, Manson filed for defamation.
By November last year, Manson had dropped his defamation lawsuit and paid Wood’s legal fees.
“But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms Wood failed.
“Warner’s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.”

Ellie Rowsell from the band Wolf Alice took to X, then Twitter, in solidarity with Wood.
She wrote: “I met Marilyn backstage at a festival a few years ago.
“I was shocked to look down and see he was filming up my skirt with a GoPro.”
Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco alleged during their relationship that he abused her.
Bianco filed a lawsuit against Manson on 30 April, later amended in July, accusing him of sexually abusing her.
It read: “These claims are provably false.
“We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail.”
Bianco and Manson reached an out of court settlement in January 2023.
5 May 2021 – Ashley Morgan Smithline
Former model Ashely Morgan Smithline accused Manson of sexually assaulting her, cutting her and locking her in a room in an article for People.
A spokesperson for Manson denied Smithline’s allegations.
She filed a federal lawsuit against Manson alleging violent sexual abuse.
Manson’s former personal assistant Ashely Walters filed a complaint against him with the Superior Court of Los Angeles County.
Walters’s lawsuit was dismissed in May 2022 but was reinstated in December 2023 following an appeal to the California Courts of Appeal.
28 May 2021 – Jane Doe
An anonymous ex-girlfriend of Manson, known as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit against the rock star.
In September the same year, a Californian judge dismissed the Doe lawsuit because the two-year statute of limitations had passed.
A week before it was due to go to trial in September 2023, Manson reached a settlement with the anonymous ex-girlfriend.
18 August 2021 – Videographer
