Marilyn Manson at Paris Fashion Week Amidst Resumed Lawsuit

Marilyn Manson appeared on the Paris Fashion Week runway on Sunday, while a sexual assault lawsuit against him is being re-examined.

The 57-year-old musician participated in the Enfants Riches Déprimés show for the Fall/Winter 2026 collection. With his signature makeup, he walked the runway and sang at the Maison de la Chimie venue.

Meanwhile, a Los Angeles judge decided to reinstate a lawsuit filed by Manson's former assistant, utilizing a new law that allows for the examination of older sexual assault cases. The lawsuit was filed in 2021 and initially dismissed due to the statute of limitations.

The plaintiff, referred to as Walters, claims that Manson raped her while she worked at Manson Records in 2010–2011. She also claims that Manson boasted about rapes and showed her a video of child abuse.

Manson's lawyer, Howard King, stated that the case would not succeed, denying the allegations.

Several women have accused Manson of sexual abuse, including Esme Bianco and Evan Rachel Wood. A previous case was also dismissed due to the statute of limitations.
