Marilyn Manson appeals defamation suit dismissal, accusing Evan Rachel Wood of forging an FBI letter in his case.

Marilyn Manson is appealing the dismissal of his defamation suit against actress Evan Rachel Wood and artist Illma Gore, accusing Wood of forging an FBI letter. Manson claims that the letter was part of a campaign to push sexual abuse allegations against him, creating a false appearance that he was under FBI investigation and his alleged victims were in danger. The singer says he has proof of the alleged forgery and is questioning the court's decision not to consider the sworn declaration of onetime accuser Ashley Smithline, who recanted her statements against Manson, claiming she was pressured by Wood to make false claims.
