Ashley Walters, a woman who used to work as an assistant for Marilyn Manson, is suing the singer for sexual assault, battery, and harassment, The Cut<\/a> reports. According to court documents obtained by The Cut (and viewed by Pitchfork), Walters alleges that Manson physically and psychologically abused her during her tenure as his employee. When reached for comment by Pitchfork, a member of Manson\u2019s team denied any accusations of assault.<\/p>\n

Walters\u2019 lawsuit was filed today (May 18) in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. The opening remarks state that Manson \u201cused his position of power, celebrity and connections to exploit and victimize\u201d Walters during her employment, and that he lured her into the job \u201cwith promises of artistic collaborations and creative opportunities.\u201d \u201cThe reality was that he was looking to create an environment where Plaintiff was subjected to personal and professional sexual exploitation, manipulation and psychological abuse,\u201d the complaint continues.<\/p>\n

Walters began working for Manson in 2010 after the singer reached out to her on social media<\/a> to \u201ccompliment her photography,\u201d the complaint states. Walters, now 37, was a 26-year-old aspiring photographer at the time. Walters claimed that after some correspondence, she went to Manson\u2019s home in West Hollywood to \u201cdiscuss potential creative collaborations\u201d and was allegedly instructed to park in a business lot behind Manson\u2019s home. The complaint states that when Walters tried to leave later that night, Manson informed her that the parking lot was closed until the morning. Walters claimed Manson asked her to do a photo shoot, which she agreed to, before Manson allegedly \u201cinsisted\u201d that she remove her shirt. Walters claims she eventually removed her shirt, but kept her bra on.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Following the photo shoot, the lawsuit claims, Manson allegedly pushed Walters onto his bed, pinned down her arms, and attempted to kiss her on the lips. The complaint states that after Walters moved away, Manson \u201cmoved behind Walters and bit her ear while grabbing her hand and placing it in his underwear.\u201d The suit continues: \u201cWalters again moved away from Defendant and, realizing it was now after 7 a.m., she was able to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the alleged incident, the lawsuit claims that Manson \u201cbombarded [Walters] with text messages praising her and telling her how much he loved their conversations and looked forward to working with her.\u201d Walters said he offered her double her salary if she came to work for him. \u201cShe knew it could be an incredible opportunity to become involved in the creative entertainment field,\u201d the lawsuit states, and Walters took the job as Manson\u2019s assistant. \u201cShe unconsciously made the decision to focus on their shared interests and ignore the traumatizing experience of being pinned to his bed,\u201d the complaint reads.<\/p>\n

Throughout the duration of her employment under Manson, Walters alleges that she was often expected to work 48 hours straight and was constantly afraid of Manson\u2019s angry outbursts and threats, which allegedly included him throwing dishes at her, threatening to commit suicide, and pushing her up against a wall. The suit claims that Manson \u201cfrequently destroyed furniture, electronics, and other fixtures in his home during fits of rage.\u201d It also states that Manson \u201cintentionally created an atmosphere that was isolating and began refusing to allow Walters to visit family on most holidays or take any time off.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point during an awards show in 2010, Manson allegedly \u201cpushed Walters onto the lap of an actor and bragged that he could \u2018have her,\u2019\u201d the complaint states. \u201cIt made me feel like I was his property,\u201d Walters told the Cut. \u201cIt just made me feel like a piece of meat.\u201d The suit also states that Manson \u201cordered his employees to say damaging or offensive things or wear Nazi paraphernalia while he recorded them so that he would have collateral in the event they spoke out against him. He also broke into his employees\u2019 personal computers in hopes of finding damaging information he could use as blackmail.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are numerous allegations of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse outlined in Walters\u2019 complaint. Walters is one of multiple women who have come forward with similar allegations against Manson in the past few months, including his former girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, Wolf Alice\u2019s Ellie Rowsell, Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em> Actress Esm\u00e9 Bianco, and more. As of now, the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department is investigating domestic violence allegations against Manson.<\/p>\n
