Sharon Osbourne has spoken out in defense of Marilyn Manson, saying she personally witnessed an encounter involving one of the women who has accused the musician.

In a recent interview, Osbourne said her own experience led her to question some of the allegations against Manson. She argued that people should remember there can be different accounts of the same events and insisted there are “two sides to every story.”

Osbourne has known Manson professionally for many years and previously defended their long-standing working relationship when allegations against him first became public in 2021. At the time, she said she had no knowledge of his private relationships but described her own interactions with him as respectful.

Manson has denied allegations of abuse and has maintained that his intimate relationships were consensual. Some civil cases brought against him have been settled or dismissed, while other legal disputes have continued over the years.

The renewed comments from Osbourne have therefore attracted attention as Manson continues performing and dealing with ongoing legal controversy.

However, Osbourne’s account represents her personal perspective and does not establish whether any particular allegation is true or false. The allegations against Manson and his denials should be distinguished from verified findings by courts or investigators.

For now, her comments have reopened a long-running debate surrounding the musician and the conflicting accounts of his relationships.
