First night of Marilyn Manson's UK tour is CANCELLED after campaign against shock rocker's sex abuse allegations
THE first night of Marilyn Manson's UK tour has been cancelled after a campaign over sex abuse allegations. The first leg of the singer's One Assassination Under God Tour had been set to kick off at Brighton Centre on October 29. 3 3 3 A notice on Ticketmaster reads: 'This event has been cancelled. 'Ticket sales have stopped, but there may be tickets available for other dates.' In January, prosecutors in the US said they would not file charges against Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, after long-running investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the allegations were too old under the law and the evidence is not sufficient to charge the 56-year-old rocker. LA County sheriff's detectives had said early in 2021 that they were investigating Manson over alleged incidents between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood, where Manson lived at the time. Earlier this month in an open letter to the Brighton and Hove city council leader Bella Sankey, Sian Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, called for the October concert to be cancelled. The letter was co-signed by some victim support groups and the University of Sussex students' union. It read: 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organisations supporting them, will have serious concerns about this booking and its wider impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community.' The letter, which was posted online, prompted a flood of responses from the public pointing out that Manson had not been found guilty of allegations against him and that a four-year investigation did not lead to charges. Others branded the call to cancel the gig as censorship. Who is actress Evan Rachel Wood? By Jennifer Roback EVAN Rachel Wood made headlines in January 2022 after she made allegations against Marilyn Manson in a new documentary. The two had previously dated in the early 2000s before parting ways. Born September 7, 1987, Wood, 34, is known as an American actress, model, and musician. She is the winner of a Critics' Choice Television Award and has also been nominated three times for a Primetime Emmy Award as well as three Golden Globe Awards. Wood is famously known for portraying the role of Dolores Abernathy on HBO's Westworld and has also been seen in Thirteen, Whatever Works and Across the Universe. Over the years, she has also appeared in a number of music videos including Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends and Marilyn Manson's Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand). As of January 2022, she has an estimated net worth of $8million, and earns $250,000 per episode of Westworld, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In January 2022, Wood accused Manson, 53, again of raping her on his music video set in 2007. She was reportedly "coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses," and had only agreed to a 'simulated sex scene," according to a new documentary about her life and career, which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. In the film, Wood claimed that Manson 'started penetrating me for real' once the cameras were rolling," The Guardian reports. 'I had never agreed to that,' she said. 'I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses. That's when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera.' She has also accused the star of grooming her. "The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson," she wrote in a February 2021 Instagram post. "He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. "I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives," she continued. Manson and Wood met back in 2006 when she was 18 and he was 38. They later went on to start a relationship that lasted from 2007 to 2010. Manson denied the accusations, calling them 'horrible distortions of reality'.

Victim Support steps aside as suicide bereavement service
Photo: 123RF A new provider for a national suicide bereavement service as been appointed after Victim Support decided not to renew its contract in order to focus on victims of crime. Health New Zealand has appointed Te Rau Ora, a Māori-focused mental health and addiction organisation, to provide Haurahi Ora - National Interim Bereavement Triage and Coordination Service from 1 July until 31 December. Victim Support's contract will end on 30 June. Victim Support chief executive James McCulloch said he advised Health NZ of its decision not to renew its contract in February. "Victim Support was founded to support victims of crime. Over time, we also stepped in to provide suicide bereavement support where gaps existed. "While our team has made a meaningful difference in this space, the landscape has changed. There are now a growing number of specialist providers who are better positioned to offer support." Te Rau Ora has provided suicide prevention and postvention services with a te ao Māori focus for more than 20 years, Te Rau Ora innovation director May Leanne Pritchard told RNZ. "We acknowledge and cater for all ethnicities and cultures, including our gay and Muslim communities," Pritchard said. She could not comment on Health NZ's appointment process but said her organisation was approached and asked to submit a proposal to run the service in February. Health NZ said the appointment of Te Rau Ora was an "interim solution" given the short timeframes involved. "While Te Rau Ora has a focus on Māori suicide prevention, as an organisation they have the necessary population networks, relationships, and community connections to be able to provide an interim solution," Health NZ Hauora Māori service head of service development Jade Sewell said. "In the coming months as part of the reconfiguration of the current suicide prevention services there will be a design phase and then advertising via GETS for new suicide postvention services will occur." Pritchard said the name, Haurahi Ora, was gifted to to the service and referred to "the journey from darkness to light". The appointment of a new provider without a formal tender process has raised some eyebrows in the sector. Yellow Brick Road, which provides mental health support for families, said it had also been approached by Health NZ about providing a national service but had not had any communication since. "After initially being approached by HNZ about our interest and capacity to extend our current support to whānau, we didn't have any further response when we offered to discuss what our role could be and possible alternative models. We are not aware of any formal consultation or expression of interest process having taken place for a new contract for suicide postvention service provision," Yellow Brick Road chief executive John Moore said in a statement to RNZ. Health NZ did not respond to questions about what procurement process was followed for the interim appointment. If it is an emergency and you feel like you or someone else is at risk, call 111.
