Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has been in the news for all the wrong reasons over the past few years. At least 15 women accused him of assault — accusations that Manson denied and called “horrible distortions of reality.”
In May of 2021, the Gilford, New Hampshire police department said they had an active arrest warrant for Manson over an incident with a videographer that occurred at a 2019 concert.
“He was spitting everywhere and one time it got on her camera so she wiped it off and looked semi-irritated,” a concertgoer told People. “He noticed this and kept purposely spitting on her camera. I think her final straw is he got on the floor, got within 2-3 feet of her and hacked a giant snot rocket at her not the camera. She was p*ssed off and disgusted so she stormed off and he just laughed.”
Another attendee said Manson “bent down to shoot his snot all over this woman. I can remember him just laughing about what he did.”
“I was right there when it happened, she was beyond furious when he did that to her,” a security guard added. “He spit on her a couple of times and then leaned real close to the camera and blew a huge snot rocket on her. After he did that, she almost threw her camera right down on the ground.”
Manson’s attorney responded: “It is no secret to anyone who has attended a Marilyn Manson concert that he likes to be provocative on stage, especially in front of a camera. This misdemeanor claim was pursued after we received a demand from a venue videographer for more than $35,000 after a small amount of spit came into contact with their arm. After we asked for evidence of any alleged damages, we never received a reply. This whole claim is ludicrous, but we remain committed to cooperating with authorities, as we have done throughout.”
Video of the incident can be seen below, and it shows Manson clearly spitting on the camera.
The Associated Press has now reported that Manson is set to plead no contest to a misdemeanor simple assault charge. Manson will pay a $1,200 fine and serve 20 hours of community service for the offense.
