Marilyn Manson To Sell Columbine Massacre Hideaway

Singer no longer wants it...

Share

Marilyn Manson is to sell the Californian mansion which he brought in the wake of his controversial comments about the Columbine High School massacre.

Manson paid a reported $1.2 million for the mansion in the Chatsworth district in 2003 after he began to receive death threats related to the tragedy in Columbine.

Following the 1999 massacre, many people blamed Manson’s music for encouraging the killers – something which he provoked further in Michael Moore’s 2002 film, ‘Bowling For Columbine.’

When asked in an interview with Moore what he would have said to the killers, he said: "Nothing. I would have listened, because no one else did."

Manson has lived at the property ever since, along with his ex-wife Dita Von Teese, and, his latest girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood.

Despite extensive upgrades to the property - including the inclusion of a recording studio in the garage – the property is up for sale for, $1.2 million, less than Manson originally paid for it.

  • I’m pretty sure up there it says: ”Manson paid a reported $1.2 million for the mansion in the Chatsworth district in 2003” and then it says: ”the property is up for sale for, $1.2 million, less than Manson originally paid for it.” Surely it’s not less than he originally paid for it. It’s exactly the same.

    • $1.2m four years ago was worth more than it is now, inflation and all that. The price tag on the house is the same but the value has changed.

  • 2.1 minus 2.1 = ??? & if you want us to think Manson’s ignorant , dude , at least read your notes before you contradict yourself . Provoke ? He skated away in the interview . Maybe you should actually watch the movie .

  • Manson’s comments in Bowling for Columbine were the most intelligent thing anyone ever said about the tragedy...it was NOT further provoking, and those idiots Dylan & Eric never listened to Manson anyway. Gigwise, you have completely lost it. I’m going to make sure people hear about this story, and your slander.
