Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco is the last to accuse Marilyn Manson of terrible abuse – claiming that he repeatedly cut her with a knife, bit and whipped and even chased her with an ax.
The 38-year-old British actress told The Cut that the 52-year-old shock rocker – who had been her teenage idol – controlled her as a prisoner when she left her husband to live with him for two months in 2011.
She said Manson went from being a “huge model that really helped me through some incredibly dark and difficult times as a teenager” to a “monster that almost destroyed me and almost destroyed so many women”.
“He’s not a misunderstood artist,” she told The Cut. “He deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his life.”
Bianco’s addition causes at least a dozen women to make allegations of abuse against the Gothic rocker, who was released by his label.
Like fellow actress Evan Rachel Wood, she even testified to California lawmakers about her abuse, without naming Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner.
Bianco said Manson’s public personality was a revelation of his real behavior. “He said to the world over and over again, ‘This is who I am,'” she said. “He hid himself in plain sight.”
Her character in “Game of Thrones”, Ros – who works in a brothel and is controlled, threatened and tortured by the men around her – proved to be painfully close to her reality with the rocker, she said.
In his interview, Bianco said that he was introduced to Manson in 2005 through his then-fiancee, Dita Von Teese, and they were initially Platonic friends.
That changed in 2009 when she flew to Los Angeles to film the scenes from her video “I want to kill you like they do at the movies” – and he tied her to a prayer knee, whipped her with a whip and used a toy electric sex toy called a violet wand in its wounds as a “torture device,” she said.
They started a long-distance affair while she was still married – in which she said Manson bit her without consent – and she finally left her husband to move in with the rocker in March 2011.
He quickly began to control her life, dictating what she wore, when she slept and when she could leave her West Hollywood apartment, she said.
“I basically felt like a prisoner,” she said. “I came and went at will. Who I spoke to was totally controlled by him.
“I called my family hidden in the closet,” she said of her fears of disturbing the star.
Manson would also show Bianco’s sex scene in “Game of Thrones” on a guest projector, saying, “This is my girlfriend, she is a prostitute. Look, she left, ”a witness told The Cut.
She started drinking heavily to cover the pain, while Manson started the day with a “breakfast” of cocaine and absinthe, the report said.
She finally left him in the middle of the night in May 2011, when he chased her around the apartment with an ax.
Before naming Manson, Bianco once shared a photo of his wounded back.
“The lashes that gave me these wounds were filmed in the name of ‘art’. I used to look at this photo with pride because I thought it was a sign of great devotion to my attacker. Now I look with horror, ”she wrote in March 2019.
Manson’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment, The Cut said.
Manson previously called other abuse claims against him “horrible distortions of reality”.
“My intimate relationships have always been consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth, ”he insisted.
