Fox News
Parts of Marilyn Manson's defamation suit against Evan Rachel Wood were thrown out in court. He sued her after she accused him of "grooming" her when she was a teenager.
Manson, whose full name is Brian Warner, alleged in the suit that Wood and another woman named as a defendant, Illma Gore, defamed Manson, intentionally caused him emotional distress and derailed his career in music, TV and film.

It says they used false pretenses, including a phony letter from the FBI, to convince other women to come forward with sexual abuse allegations and coached them on what to say about Manson.
On Tuesday, Judge Teresa A. Beaudet dismissed the part of the suit dealing with the disputed FBI letter, which Wood denied forging.
