Marilyn Manson’s most shocking moments
We know Marilyn Manson as a great musical icon, but today he is increasingly being talked about as a manipulative monster, a rapist and a misogynist.
Marilyn Manson has "earned" several lawsuits for sexual abuse in the last couple of years, which put the musician with an unusual image in serious trouble. He is undoubtedly one of the leading figures in shock rock. He made his debut in the first half of the 90s with the album Portrait of an American Family, in which he reflected on American values, nationalism, racism, religion, and conservative hypocrisy and showed the other side of the American dream.
He liked to provoke from the very beginning. His pseudonym, after which his band is named, connects the name of the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe and the last name of the serial killer Charles Manson. The singer later changed the history of rock and metal music forever with his image and eccentric performances.
Manson showed how much he hates orthodox Christians in his violent videos. He confirmed this in 2017 with the disturbing, shocking video for the song "We Know Where You Fuc*ing Live" from the album Heaven Upside Down, where a group of women dressed as nuns, in latex, marching with machine guns into a Christian house to destroy everything they find there.
Malicious nuns rape a married couple in their own house, turn all the crosses upside down and enjoy it immensely. The singer takes an active part in the video as an assistant who holds a gun to the couple's daughter's head, forcing her to watch a horror scene. The singer is wearing make-up with blood-red lipstick on his lips.
In addition to the videos, Manson also openly despises God in his raucous and often decadent concerts. He likes to tear up or even burn the Bible during his performance. He often wipes his saliva or his nose with a scripture. And he puts the torn pages in his mouth and sings into the microphone in an incomprehensible way.

Imagine the most bizarre, craziest thing in the world. Tell that to Marilyn Manson and he's guaranteed to do it with a smile on his face. He is not afraid of anything. The singer once told High Times in 1995 that when he was in New Orleans, he went to dig up a grave and found human remains inside. He took some bones to the hotel and decided with his friends to cut a few pieces out of them, put them in a pipe and smoke them. "Those inflamed bones gave me a bad headache and redness in my eyes," the singer recalled.
Several women claimed that the singer drugged them, manipulated them, controlled their eating and sleeping habits, or held them captive until they completely surrendered to him. When they wanted to leave, he allegedly threatened to kill them or commit suicide. Manson denied all the allegations and called them fabricated. All sexual relations with female partners were allegedly always consensual.
