Esme Bianco is the last woman to make allegations of abuse against rocker Marilyn Manson.
The “Game of Thrones” actress spoke about her previous experiences with Manson in an interview for The Cut. She reflected on idolizing Manson during her teenage years as a fan, when she first met him in 2005, when he was still married to Dita Von Teese.
The two remained friends until 2009, when Manson cast Bianco in his music video for “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in Movies”. Bianco said Manson warned her that she “would have to pretend she liked to be abused” by him for the video, but the actress said her alleged violent behavior was not just a role. She now refers to him as a “monster” and claimed that his violent acts left her with PTSD and physical scars.
Bianco’s statements come not even two weeks after Manson, 52, whose real name is Brian Warner, denied allegations made by actress Evan Rachel Wood, 33, who said the musician “started preparing me when I was a teenager and abused terribly from me for years. “Four other women posted their own complaints, Vanity Fair reported, claiming” sexual assault, psychological abuse and / or various forms of coercion, violence and intimidation.

Bianco said she was informed of Manson’s alleged violent behavior in 2009 while filming his music video. The actress remembers spending three days with him “in lingerie, barely sleeping or eating, with Manson serving cocaine instead of food,” says the outlet. She was 26 at the time.
Bianco said Manson once tied her “with cables to a prayer kneel, whipping her with a whip and using an electric sex toy called Violet Wand on her wounds”.
According to the media, Bianco, then a burlesque performer, left Manson’s house in tears, believing that, although they had a bond, “what happened was not BDSM”.
“She says they didn’t discuss consent or words of safety, that she knew from personal experience and the fetish perpetrators in her circle were crucial to the dynamics of safe power,” reports the outlet.
Manson reportedly later sent Bianco “a photo of her back covered in welts with a note saying, ‘bringing back sexy’.” Bianco claimed that Manson started calling the two soul mates and the two then had a “long-distance affair”.

Manson’s lawyer did not respond to Fox News’s multiple requests for comment.
Bianco and Manson’s sexual acts resulted in bruises from his bites, she claimed. Two years since he first appeared in his music video, Bianco claimed that he was having “daily panic attacks” and his eyelashes falling from stress. In 2011, Manson asked Bianco to move in with him.

After arriving at his London apartment and leaving her then husband, Bianco stated that Manson set rules for her in the relationship, such as what to wear, when to sleep and when she could leave her property.
“I basically felt like a prisoner,” said Bianco. “I came and went as he pleased. Whoever I spoke to was completely controlled by him. I called my family hidden in the closet.”
According to Bianco, Manson did not follow the decision to be monogamous.
The agency also interviewed a former Manson assistant named Ashley Walters, who confirmed that there was a “closet-sized glass wall space” in his room that he referred to as the “bad girl’s room,” which Manson could lock out. This appears to be the same glass box mentioned by another of Manson’s alleged victims, artist Love Bailey.

Someone in Manson’s circle named Alex claimed to have witnessed Bianco’s bruises on his arms and back at the time. Bianco admitted that he doesn’t think he would have accepted help then.
“I was in survival mode at that point, and my brain taught me to be small and nice,” she said.
She also claimed that Manson once cut his torso with a knife during the two months that she lived with him.
“I just remember lying there, and I didn’t fight it,” she said of the alleged knife incident. “It was a kind of last straw in which I lost all sense of hope and security.”

Bianco admitted that she was “ashamed” because, despite the violence, she tried “to please him and keep me out of trouble”. In May 2011, however, Bianco changed her mind after the singer allegedly chased her into her apartment with an ax. A month later, she left while he slept.

“I had so little dignity left,” she said. “I think something inside me was like, have some kind of respect for yourself.”
Bianco starred as the character Ros in “Game of Thrones”, a character who suffered torture from men. She told The Cut that she didn’t know how the role could have been triggered during filming.

In 2013, after his character was killed on the show, Bianco recalled having suffered panic attacks and night terrors. She shared that she was able to speak thanks to the Me movement and for seeing Wood testify about the suffering of domestic violence before Congress in 2018.
Bianco said Manson is a “serial predator” and is not “misunderstood” as some might argue.
“He deserves to stay behind bars for the rest of his life,” she says.
Bianco’s interview comes less than two weeks after Wood posted his accusations on Instagram, claiming that the rocker “brainwashed and manipulated her” during their relationship.

Several other women made similar claims. The ongoing controversy resulted in Manson being removed from his label, Loma Vista Recordings. Manson was also removed from two television roles in Starz’s “American Gods” and AMC’s “Creepshow”.
The “Beautiful People” musician released a denial on his own Instagram earlier this month.
“Obviously, my art and my life have always been magnets for controversy, but these recent statements about me are horrible distortions of reality,” he said. “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”

He concluded: “Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”
