Marilyn Manson's lawyer has slammed Esmé Bianco's accusations of abuse against the singer as "provably false".

On Friday (April 30), the Game of Thrones actress, 38, filed a lawsuit alleging that the 'Sweet Dreams' performer, 52, beat and electrocuted her and had her go without food for four days while staying at his home - among a slew of other alarming allegations.

Per Page Six, the musician's lawyer has addressed the lawsuit, referring to its claims as "provably false".

Manson's attorney Howard E. King said, according to the outlet: "To be clear, this suit was only filed after my client refused to be shaken down by Ms. Bianco and her lawyer and give in to their outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred."

"We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail," King added.

Manson - real name: Brian Warner - is accused by Bianco of making arrangements for the actress to come over to Los Angeles to appear in a new music video back in 2011 - a music video which never materialized.

Instead, she claims she stayed in his home and allegedly went without food but was given drugs and alcohol. Bianco says was unable to leave the apartment without Manson's permission, and that he chased her around with an ax and cut her with a "Nazi knife."

The lawsuit also claims that Manson locked Bianco in a bedroom, forced her to have sex with another woman, and threatened to rape her.

Bianco and Manson had entered into a consensual sexual relationship in May 2009, but the latter allegedly went on to "[bruise] and [bite] Ms. Bianco and publicly groped her against her consent," according to the lawsuit.

"Mr. Warner used drugs, force, and threats of force to coerce sexual acts from Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions. Mr. Warner raped Ms. Bianco in or around May 2011," the lawsuit goes on to say.

This comes after at least 16 women accused Manson of physical and sexual abuse earlier this year, following actress Evan Rachel Wood's explosive allegations of her own.

Manson has denied the allegations as "distortions of reality" in a statement on his own Instagram.
