Manson fired his bassist after rape allegations.
Marilyn Manson hired The Mars Volta bassist Juan Alderete after firing his longtime colleague Twiggy Ramirez.
The dismissal came after Twiggy was accused of rape by his ex-girlfriend Jessicka Addams, lead singer of the band Jack Off Jill.
Addams posted a lengthy statement on her Facebook page detailing the abuse that occurred while she was in a relationship with the bassist.
Alderete made his debut with Manson at the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest festival in San Bernardino, California, last Sunday, November 5th. It is not yet known if he will be an official member of the band.
Twiggy responded to the rape accusation by saying that he does not tolerate any type of non-consensual sexual relationship. See the bassist's full statement here.
