Controversies and legal matters
The musician has faced significant scrutiny from religious organizations, politicians, and media outlets regarding his provocative stage persona and lyrical content. Following the Columbine High School massacre, mainstream media blamed him for influencing the perpetrators, which inspired his album Holy Wood.
In later years, he faced allegations of abuse from several women, including former partner Evan Rachel Wood. Marilyn Manson denied these accusations, and a four-year criminal investigation concluded without charges due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and a lack of evidence.
