One of the many women whove accused Marilyn Manson of sexual assault has recanted.

Ashley Morgan Smithline alleged in May 2021 that the musician raped, brainwashed, and cut her during their relationship . She was one of more than a dozen women who accused Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, of sexual assault.

In a legal filing obtained Thursday by Page Six, however, Smithline recanted her story. She also claimed Evan Rachel Wood , who first outed Manson as her alleged abuser in February 2021 , manipulated the model into filing her allegation in the first place.

I succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against [Manson] that were not true, said Smithline in the new legal filing obtained by the outlet .

Smithline claimed she was welcomed into group meetings with other Manson victims in 2020 and repeatedly told by participants that she was whipped, chained, tied up, branded, cut, assaulted while sleeping, beaten, or raped by Manson but couldnt remember it.

Smithline claimed she told them this did not happen to me, but alleged Wood kept suggesting just because she could not remember that it did not necessarily mean that it did not happen and allegedly told Smithline she had merely repressed those memories.
