Marilyn Manson was accused of sexual and physical abuse by a woman. She has now spoken out about the pain she felt when she saw Marilyn Manson on stage with Kanye West, Justin Bieber and others.
West — who legally changed his name to Ye — continued to further his relationship with the embattled rocker by inviting him to his most recent Sunday Service held on Halloween.
Manson, 52, has three active lawsuits against him in relation to allegations of sexual, psychological, and physical abuse from over 15 different women, including actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Esmé Bianco.
It’s heartbreaking. It makes it sick,’ Ashley Morgan Smithline stated to People after seeing her ex at this event. “How is this the world that we live in?”
Ashley Morgan Smithline, 37-year-old Marilyn Manson accuser, spoke out to People about the pain she felt after seeing the rocker with KanyeWest and Justin Bieber on Sunday.
Surprise guest? West, 44 years old, invited Manson (52) to his Sunday Service. Bieber (27), led the group in prayer.
Claims: Manson is actually Brian Hugh Warner. Three active lawsuits are pending against him regarding allegations of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse by 15 different women
Smithline, 37, is alleged to have had a two-year relationship (actually, Brian Hugh Warner) with the musician. She is one of the three women — including Bianco and Manson’s former assistant Ashley Waters — who are suing the artist.
She described how Manson’s presence during Ye’s Sunday Service on the weekend had hurt her and other alleged victims.
‘It makes everyone really f**king sick. She explained that this is like being traumatized. “It’s just a way to show the world that it doesn’t really matter if you rape or if your beat and hurt all those,” she said. [women]You can do anything you want if you have money and a name.
She also spoke out about West’s relationship to the rocker. He’s enabling abusers and not just [of]One girl.
Manson has denied all allegations of sexual assault. He previously called the claims ‘horrible distortions in reality’ that misrepresent consensual relationships between ‘like-minded’ partners.
Painful: ‘It makes everyone really f**king sick. Smithline spoke out about how Manson’s presence at this event caused her and other victims to be retraumatized.
Crossing the line: Smithline also attacked West, accusing West of ‘enabling an rapist’
In video and photos from the service, he was seen wearing white head-to–toe, with a hood and face mask that showed only his eyes.
Bieber sang ‘Hurricane” with West and led the trio in a prayer group, while a gospel chorus sang in the back.
Manson was seen bowing at the waist with his arms crossed. He even extended his arm to West’s shoulder during a momentary prayer.
‘The Beautiful People’ singer — who referred to himself once as ‘God of F**k’ — had been very open about his involvement with the Church Of Satan, making his appearance alongside the two religious crooners at a Christian gathering even more shocking.
Bieber said, during Bieber’s prayer: ‘We cast away any demonic negativity which would try to steal our peace or steal our joy today’ and then finished his prayer ‘in the Name of Jesus’
People was told by a source that Justin didn’t know Manson would be there before the event. He didn’t know he was part of it.
Accusers: Smithline is one of the three women, including actress Esmé Bianco and Manson’s former assistant Ashley Waters, who are suing the singer
More allegations: Bianco filed a federal lawsuit against Manson in late Macy alleging sexual assault and battery, and violation of the human trafficking law
Alleged victims: Torii Lynn (left), accused Manson of unspecified abuse. Love Bailey (right), claimed Manson once held an assault rifle to her head.
Going public: Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood accused Manson, her ex, of grooming and sex with her in February.
Manson spokesperson told the magazine that the singer was an “integral part” of Sunday Service. However, when asked if he had converted to Christianity, the representative said: “That’s nobody’s business.”
The spokesperson stated that Marilyn Manson has collaborated over his career with legendary and innovative artists in all genres of music, and Ye is no different.
Bombshell: Smithline was featured in People magazine’s explosive cover story, in which she described their relationship and said: “I survived a monster.”
‘The Dope Show’ singer previously joined West at his ‘Donda’ album playback event at Chicago’s Soldier Field in late August.
Smithline said to People that Manson’s presence in the public eye is disturbing without any backlash. She also referred to Manson’s appearance in West Hollywood just a few months ago.
“How is he eating lunch in West Hollywood while we are terrified for our lives that he will kill us?” She replied. ‘We just told all of our truths, we just put ourselves way out there and he’s just f**king around having drinks, having lunch in West Hollywood.’
She continued, “So to have Kanye West take the name… and prop him up.” [an]Abuser, rapist or anyone who sells albums ?… I’m sick to death. And this is how our world works. He’s thriving.
Smithline was featured in People magazine’s explosive May cover story. She shared her account of their relationship and said: “I survived a monster.”
The model claimed she was sexually assaulted by Manson several times and was locked into a soundproof room called ‘the bad girls’ room’ whenever she made him angry.
Defense: Manson has staunchly denied all allegations of sexual assault, and he previously referred to the claims as ‘horrible distortions of reality’
Response: Smithline’s claims were refuted by a spokesperson for the artist, who told People that they’strongly disagree’ with her claims.
She also alleged that he cut her with a swastika-emblazoned knife despite her being of Jewish descent, shoved his fist in her mouth during sex, and forced her to do a blood pact.
Smithline first named Manson as her abuser in an Instagram post back in February, months before calling him the ‘most terrifying monster in the world’ in the People feature.
People received an answer from a spokesperson for the artist denying the allegations.
The statement stated that there were so many lies in her claims that it was difficult to know where to start to answer them. “This relationship, to the extent that it was a romance, didn’t last one-week.”
However, People reported this: Smithline provided emails and texts she claimed were from Manson. These messages spanned more then two years.
Bianco had filed the cover story one week prior to publication. Manson was sued in federal court. He is accused of beating, raping and torturing her after she brought her from the UK to LA.
The 10-page explosive complaint was filed in the US District Court for Central District of California. It alleges sexual assault and batter, and violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages as well as attorneys’ fees.
Manson sought to have Bianco’s case thrown out on statute-of-limitations grounds, but last month a judge denied his bid to have the her claims dismissed.
