Billy Corgan says he does not believe Marilyn Manson is guilty of the allegations against him

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan said on The New York Times Popcast on 22 October that he does not personally believe Marilyn Manson is guilty of the allegations against him. Manson has denied all abuse claims. No criminal charges followed; in January 2025, the Los Angeles District Attorney cited the statute of limitations and lack of ways to prove them.
