Marilyn Manson has dropped his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood, settling to pay her $327,000 in attorney fees. Wood accused Manson of abuse, which he denies. Manson’s lawsuit claimed Wood fabricated abuse allegations to harm his career. A judge previously dismissed much of his suit. Manson’s legal battles continue amid an ongoing investigation related to multiple sexual abuse allegations against him from various women, including Wood and actress Esme Bianco. Manson, who has denied all allegations, sought to conclude his pursuit of Wood following the court's previous rulings against him.
