The complaint filed by Ashley Smithline against Marilyn Manson has been dismissed by the American courts.
The plaintiff did not announce in time to the court if she had found a lawyer or if she was defending herself alone before the judge.
Jail Ellwanger, his previous representative, dropped the case.
The case was dismissed
“without prejudice”.
Thus, the judge leaves the model Ashley Smithline the possibility of filing a new complaint against the singer.
In a relationship with Marilyn Manson in 2010, she sued the singer in 2021. She accuses him in particular of having suffered abuse and sexual assault.

Ashley Smithline is not the only one to denounce the inappropriate behavior of Marilyn Manson.
In total, fifteen women publicly accuse the rocker, four of whom have filed a complaint.
At the end of 2021, the charges were dropped for one of them due to prescription.
The singer will therefore have one trial less.
His legal agenda is not empty, however.
The complaint of actress Esmé Bianco for sexual abuse and violence is still ongoing.
Just like that of Ashley Walters, Marilyn Manson's former assistant.
The artist denies all these accusations.
He sued Evan Rachel Wood for defamation.
The actress was in a relationship with the musician from 2006 to 2010 and accused him of rape in her documentary
