A new public complaint against Marilyn Manson comes to light from one of her former partners. The latest to accuse the singer and actor of terrifying abuse is Esmé Bianco, who played Ros in Game of Thrones and Eliza in The Magicians. The 38-year-old British actress claims that he repeatedly cut, bit, beat her with a knife and even chased her with an ax.
Marilyn Manson was accused of abuse by actress Evan Rachel Wood and four other women on Monday, February 1. Manson defended himself and assured that these statements against him are “terrible distortions of reality” and also claimed that all of his intimate relationships were “consensual.”
In a recent interview with The Cut, Bianco described Marilyn Manson as “a monster that nearly destroyed me and nearly destroyed so many women.”
The Game Of Thrones actress added that there was physical abuse, torture and control, calling Manson a “serial predator.”
As he explains, they met in 2005 through Dita von Teese, Manson’s then-wife. In 2009, the rocker hired her to star in the music video because I want to kill you like they do in the movies. During filming, she says, Manson became violent and crossed the line of being strictly professional by tying her up, whipping her and using electric sex toys as torture.
Bianco was 26 years old at the time and states that she spent the three days that the shooting lasted alone dressed in lingerie, without being allowed to sleep and practically without food, as she only gave her cocaine and no food. She herself remembers that at that time she could only be grateful to work with an artist she had admired since her teens: “It’s just theater. We’re going to make art,” she thought at the time.
In 2009, after the divorce from Von Teese, Bianco and Manson started dating intermittently.
“I have this energy and strength that I didn’t have before and talking about Marilyn Manson doesn’t scare me, but a feeling I call dragon power,” added the Game Of Thrones actress.
Bianco also indicated that after ending the relationship with Manson, she had panic attacks, reaching a breaking point when the singer chased her around her apartment with an ax.
