Marilyn Manson is being investigated by Los Angeles authorities on domestic violence charges after several women made disturbing complaints against the rocker.
“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Special Victims Office is investigating allegations of domestic violence involving Mr. Brian Warner, aka ‘Marilyn Manson’, who works in the music industry. The incidents occurred between 2009 and 2011, when Mr. Warner lived in the city of West Hollywood, “a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman said in a statement released to Fox News.
The investigation comes weeks after actress Evan Rachel Wood nominated Manson, 52, as her ex-abuser on social media. Wood’s claims prompted several other women to make similar claims.
The ongoing controversy resulted in Manson being removed from his label, Loma Vista Recordings. He was also removed from two television roles in Starz’s “American Gods” and AMC’s “Creepshow”.

Manson’s lawyer did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment. Last month, Manson denied Wood’s accusations. The actress, who was already engaged to Manson in 2010, posted her accusations on Instagram, claiming that the rocker “brainwashed and manipulated her” during their relationship. Manson “started to prepare me when I was a teenager and abused me terribly for years,” she wrote.
“I am tired of living in fear of retaliation, slander or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and summon the many industries that have enabled him, before he destroys more lives. I am with the many victims who will not do it anymore, be silent” , she continued.
The “Beautiful People” musician posted a denial on his own Instagram.
“Obviously, my art and my life have always been magnets for controversy, but these recent statements about me are horrible distortions of reality,” he said. “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”

In 2018, Wood testified before a House Judiciary Subcommittee as part of an effort to get approval of the Sexual Violence Survivor’s Bill of Rights in all 50 states.
Also in 2018, a police report was filed against Manson for unspecified sex crimes since 2011, The Hollywood Reporter revealed. However, the district attorney dismissed the case, claiming that the statute of limitations had expired and an “absence of corroboration”. Manson’s lawyer, Howard E. King, Esq., Also denied the allegations about the vehicle.
In addition, creative artist Love Bailey claimed that Manson once aimed a gun at her head in an interview with Fox News. Bailey said the incident happened while she was styling a haute couture photo shoot at Manson’s house, where an unidentified actress was also present.
As Manson supposedly put a “glock right on my forehead”, Bailey says the rocker said, “‘I don’t like f —— s’ while he laughs in this aggressive and really dark tone. A joke.”
Bailey claimed that Manson did this after she tried to help the actress who was visibly “inconsistent”.

Jenna Jameson, who was previously linked to Manson, called her previous relationship with Manson “strange”. She ended her adventure after Manson allegedly expressed his desire to burn his body alive.
“We didn’t go out much because I interrupted him after he said nonchalantly that he fantasized about burning me alive,” the 46-year-old adult film star told The Daily Mail.
