The actress acknowledged her mistake and expressed regret for the incident that occurred at a hotel lobby.
“I’m truly sorry — you’re absolutely right. We unexpectedly ran into MM and Jonas in the lobby of a hotel,” Sevigny said. “We’re both fans of Jonas as both a musician and a filmmaker, and in the moment, I wasn’t thinking clearly.”
She further explained the circumstances that led to the controversial photograph.
“I’d had too much to drink and didn’t consider how inappropriate or hurtful it might be to be photographed with MM,” she continued. “I deeply regret the lapse in judgment.”
The apology came promptly following the backlash from fans and the public regarding her association with a controversial figure. This incident underscores the ongoing scrutiny faced by Marilyn Manson and those who publicly associate with him.

Sevigny initially shared photos with Marilyn Manson but quickly deleted them as criticism intensified. The swift removal of these posts suggests that the actress recognized the potential harm to her reputation almost immediately after posting the images.
