Over the past four years, Manson has faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, most prominently from actress Evan Rachel Wood. Manson has denied all allegations, stating that his intimate relationships have always been consensual. He has countersued several accusers, and judges have dismissed a number of the abuse suits. In 2022, he was dropped by former label Loma Vista Recordings and talent agency CAA following the accusations.
