Marilyn Manson is accused of sexual abuse by Esmé Bianco, who is known for her role in ‘Game of Thrones’.
Bianco’s allegations are the latest against Manson, who was quickly dismissed by his record company, agency and management, in the wake of numerous allegations of abuse by several women, including Evan Rachel Wood, who accuses the musician of domestic violence and rape has. in which the allegations are set out that she was drugged, tied up and physically harmed by Manson.
Bianco describes Manson as a “monster who almost destroyed me and almost destroyed so many women”, in which he expressed allegations of physical abuse, torture and control and called him a ‘serial predator’.
Bianco spoke to The Cut and shared her story of alleged abuse. The publication writes that although an attorney from Manson did not respond to their detailed request for comment, Bianco provided them with emails, text messages and photos from her time with Manson confirming her story.
As Manson was abandoned by all his representatives, Variety could not immediately locate a representative for him to comment, and did not return a lawyer, who is reportedly currently representing the singer.
Bianco first emerged as a survivor of abuse in 2019 and testified before the California Assembly in an effort to help reform laws on domestic violence. But her interview with The Cut is the first time she has publicly nominated Manson as her abuser.
Bianco raised Manson and raised him as a teenage lover of his music and art. She says she first met him in 2005 through his then-fiancée, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, when Manson wanted to cast her in a horror film, “Phantasmagori”. After Manson’s marriage to Von Teese ended in 2007, he kept in touch with Bianco and finally threw her into a music video for his song in 2009, titled, “I Want to Kill You” As they do in the movies. ”
Bianco says the role required her to play a victim and lover of Manson who would be kidnapped in the music video. As an actor, Bianco believed that the part would be strictly professional.
Manson became violent, Bianco claims, tied her up with cables, whipped her and used an electric sex toy, which is the same ‘torture device’ Wood explained to her. Bianco, who was 26 at the time, says she wore the three-day shooting lingerie, barely slept and was not fed by Manson, who provided cocaine but no food. (More than once in the interview, Bianco describes Manson as a regular cocaine addict and heavy drinker.)
“It’s just Manson who’s theater. We are going to make great art, ”Bianco told The Cut, recalling her thoughts at the time.
The publication confirmed Bianco’s story with many of her friends saying in the exhaust that she had seen her cuts and bruises and remembered that she was terrified at the time and once asked for help in a closet where she was in Manson’s home. hide.
Bianco and Manson visited a long-distance relationship with Manson in London and arranged her trip to LA, where he lived. Manson, through the years the relationship continued, promised to help Bianco get a work visa and asked her to move in. She lived with him for two months in his West Hollywood apartment. Bianco says Manson will bite her without permission during sex and leave her body bruised. Once, she says, he repeatedly cut her torso with a knife.
According to The Cut, Manson categorized the activity as ‘kinky’. And Bianco wanted to believe that his behavior was normal – a typical thought process of victims who had endured sexual abuse.
“I was in survival mode at the time and my brain taught me to be small and pleasant,” Bianco told the publication, adding that she, like many victims of domestic violence, could have developed a type of Stockholm syndrome that loosened her. from reality.
Bianco describes the relationship as controlling to the point that Manson determines the clothes she will wear and her sleeping schedule.
“I actually felt like a prisoner,” Bianco told The Cut. ‘I came and went to his pleasure. Who I spoke to, he is completely in control. I let my family hide in the closet. ”
When one of Bianco’s episodes of ‘Game of Thrones’ aired, Manson allegedly played her sex scene over and over on a projector in front of friends, saying,’ This is my girlfriend, she’s a whore. Look, her tits are out, ”according to The Cut.
Bianco’s breaking point came in 2011 when Manson allegedly chased her through his apartment with an ax. After breaking up with Manson, Bianco says she suffered from panic attacks and that she could not get a job after ‘Game of Thrones’, given her mental state. “I could not meet the moment in my life because of what he did to me,” says Bianco.
Manson categorized Wood’s allegations against him as ‘horrific distortions of reality’.
Bianco says: ‘He’s not a bad artist. He deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his life. ”
Earlier this month, Wood stepped forward and publicly identified Manson as her abuser, after years of talking about the survivors of domestic violence. The activist, singer and actor, who plays in ‘Westworld’, says she was ‘horribly abused’ by Manson during the years-long relationship. Wood’s public allegations opened the floodgates for many other women, who also came forward with similarly frightening allegations.
“My abuser’s name is Brian Warner, also known as Marilyn Manson,” Wood posted on her Instagram on February 1. “He started taking care of me when I was a teenager and abused me horribly for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I already live in fear of retaliation, slander or extortion. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him before he destroys more lives. I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent. ”
Manson denied Wood’s allegations. “Obviously, my art and my life have been magnets for controversy all along, but these recent allegations about me are terrible distortions of reality,” Manson posted on his social media. ‘My intimate relationships have always been completely one-sided with partners who think alike. No matter how – and why – others now choose to misrepresent the past, this is the truth. ”
Variety will update this report if anyone representing Manson contacts him.
