Marilyn Manson is UNRECOGNIZABLE on outing with wife Lindsay Usich amid sexual abuse allegations

The 53-year-old singer is currently suing ex Evan Rachel Wood, accusing her of defaming him

Marilyn Manson was spotted in public after a long time on Wednesday night, August 10, amid numerous sexual abuse and rape allegations against him. The 53-year-old singer reportedly looked quite different as it seemed he had gained some weight. He was accompanied by his 37-year-old wife, Lindsay Usich. The pair had married in 2020.

While Manson chose everything black — from coat and T-Shirt to baggy pants and leather boots, Usich wore a black cardigan with a green maxi dress and a pair of booties for the rare outing. She was also seen carrying a tiny black Chanel bag, The Sun reported. This comes as the ‘This Is the New S**t’ singer has found himself surrounded with lawsuits from three women - model Ashley Morgan Smithine, Esmé Bianco, and a Jane Doe.

Besides, he himself has targeted his former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and filed a lawsuit, accusing her of defaming him. In 2021, The ‘Barefoot’ actress had said, “The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives.”

Also, in a documentary released earlier this year, Wood had claimed that Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, "horrifically abused her for years". She revealed in ‘Phoenix Rising’, “I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretences. That’s when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera.”

The 34-year-old actress also added, “But I was scared to do anything that would upset Brian in any way. The video was just the beginning of the violence that would keep escalating over the course of the relationship.” But the actor’s legal team refuted the allegations and lawyer Howard King said: “Evan was not only fully coherent and engaged during the three-day shoot but also heavily involved in weeks of pre-production planning and days of post-production editing of the final cut.”

“The simulated sex scene took several hours to shoot with multiple takes using different angles and several long breaks in between camera setups. Brian did not have sex with Evan on that set, and she knows that is the truth,” King noted.

Meanwhile, the ‘Game of Thrones’ actress Bianco told The Cut last year that “her relationship with the singer left her with physical scars and PTSD.” She also claimed that with him she “basically felt like a prisoner. I came and went at his pleasure. Who I spoke to was completely controlled by him. I called my family hiding in the closet.”

However, Manson asserted that he had always been in "entirely consensual" relationships. In a statement, he had shared: “Obviously, my life and my art have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how — and why — others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”
