Bianco calls the singer a “serial predator” and describes allegations of domestic violence in an interview with New York magazine.
The Game of Thrones Star Esmé Bianco is joining the group of women who have made allegations of aggression and abuse against the music Marilyn Manson.
The burlesque actress and performer details her relationship with Manson, whom she calls “the monster that almost destroyed me and almost destroyed so many women” in a story in New York magazine that was published Wednesday. In the play, she claims that over the years relationship, Manson assaulted her without consent in a video clip shoot and during sex, laid down strict rules for her life and once chased her with an ax.
According to Bianco, who says she entered a relationship with Manson in 2009 when she was 26, the singer became violent towards her while recording a music video for the song “I Want to Kill You How They Do It in the Movies ”. Although Manson initially said that the role would require Bianco to “pretend to like being mistreated by me”, during production Bianco says he whipped her, tied her with cables and used a vibrating sex toy on injuries. Bianco says the two never discussed consent.
After filming, Bianco and Manson started an affair, and she moved in with him in 2011. During that time, she said that he controlled her schedule, what she could wear and when she could leave her apartment, she would bite her during sex without consent, and once he cut it with a knife and then sent an image of the injuries to his then assistant and a bandmate. “I basically felt like a prisoner,” said Bianco New York. “I came and went at will. Who I spoke to was totally controlled by him. I called my family hidden in the closet, “she says.
Bianco says that she ran away from Manson’s apartment in June 2011, not long after Manson chased her around the place with an ax, and later broke up with him.
Manson’s lawyer did not respond to Bianco’s claims when contacted by New York. After Evan Rachel Wood came forward with allegations of abuse in early February – and now more than a dozen women have told their own stories – Manson responded with the following statement: “Obviously, my art and my life have always been magnets for controversy, but these recent statements about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to distort the past, that is the truth. “
Since Wood presented his story, Manson has been released from his label, Loma Vista Recordings, and his appearances have been erased from upcoming episodes of the Shudder series. Freak show and Starz’s American gods. He was also released by his agency, CAA.
Bianco worked with Wood to defend California’s Phoenix Law to extend the statute of limitations for domestic violence reports. The law was passed in California in 2020. Bianco’s lawyer, Jay Ellwanger, also said she spoke to the FBI about possible allegations of human trafficking and sexual crimes. The FBI said New York in a statement, “We never confirm or deny investigations.”
