Ashley Morgan Smithline was one of several women who had accused Manson of sexual abuse over the past two years. However, she has now recanted her allegation. In a declaration, she alleged that she was "manipulated by Ms Wood" until she agreed to "spread publicly false accusations of abuse", referencing Manson's ex-fiancée. "I succumbed to pressure from Evan Rachel Wood and her associates to make accusations of rape and assault against Mr Warner that were not true." Smithline alleged in a declaration obtained by Page Six on Thursday.
