Marilyn Manson heard about Paris Jackson‘s suicide attempt, and that it was perhaps triggered by not being allowed to see him in concert. He’s since tweeted (via Billboard),
I hope you feel better. You will be on my guest list anytime you want.
Which is very sweet of him. He continued on his path of kindness when he dedicated his song “Disposable Teens” (okay maybe not the sweetest title but I bet the message is…good?) to her at one of his shows.
But then, being Manson, he got a little weird.
According to reports, Manson dedicated his song “Disposable Teens” to Michael Jackson’s famous daughter, saying simply, “This song is for Paris Jackson” during his Thursday night show. The dedication comes days after reports surfaced that the 15-year-old had attempted suicide after being told she could not attend Manson’s show.
Manson then shocked observers by simulating a suicide attempt of his own, dragging a meat cleaver across his forearm. [Note: Paris Jackson reportedly used a meat cleaver to cut herself.]
Okay, chill out Billboard, it’s quite obviously a knife and not a meat cleaver. Nit picky, I know. But yes. It’s STILL odd to me. What exactly was his message? “Hey everyone, in case you didn’t know, this is how she tried to kill herself, let me show you. This isn’t sensationalizing it at all.” But I don’t know.
What do you think?
We saw Marylin Manson at Red Rocks a day or 2 before Paris Jackson’s attempt. He sang the same song and did the same moves. It wasn’t shocking. It’s a Marylin Manson show. We saw him about 10 months ago with Rob Zombie. He did the same set and the same moves. Marylin Manson simulating suicide isn’t news. I feel bad for Paris and I hope she finds her footing soon.
