Billy Corgan defense of Marilyn Manson

Overview

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has publicly defended his nearly 30-year friendship with Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) following allegations of sexual misconduct and domestic violence.

Speaking on The New York Times ‘Popcast’, Corgan stated that he does not believe Manson is guilty of the charges, citing his own knowledge of “personal things behind the scenes.” He also noted that the Los Angeles District Attorney declined to pursue criminal charges after a multi-year investigation, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations on domestic violence claims and an inability to prove sexual assault charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

Corgan expressed discomfort with what he described as a “mob mentality,” asserting that he rejects external pressure to dictate his personal social associations.
