Marilyn Manson has fired his longtime bassist Jeordie White, who performs under the name Twiggy Ramirez. The news comes less than a week after White was publicly accused of rape by his former girlfriend, Jessicka Addams of the riot girrl band JACK OFF JILL.
Earlier today, Manson released a short statement via his social media accounts, saying simply: “I have decided to part ways with Jeordie White as a member of MARILYN MANSON. He will be replaced for the upcoming tour. I wish him well.” On Instagram, Manson added: “This is a sad day.”
