Esmé Bianco is suing Marilyn Manson, accusing the metal singer of physical and sexual abuse. Bianco, who played Ros in the popular HBO series Game of Thrones, filed the lawsuit on Friday (April 30). Per <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/01/entertainment/marilyn-manson-esme-bianco-lawsuit/index.html">CNN</a>, the suit alleges that Manson, 52, arranged for Bianco, 38, to come over to Los Angeles to appear in a music video for one of his tracks. It was during this time that he allegedly gave her drugs and alcohol, but no food for four days. The legal document also claims that he "tied her to a prayer kneeler," "beat her with a whip" and "electrocuted her". <img class="size-full wp-image-1263105582" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/MKNYD7-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1663" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Tsuni / USA / Alamy]] As reported by the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/marilyn-manson-sexual-abuse-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-38ecfc58056c2733c909656afe5021bd">Associated Press</a>, despite the promise of a music video appearance for his song 'I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies', there was no crew - only Manson himself began filming with his phone. The publication also states that the actress was allegedly locked in a bedroom, forced to have sex with another woman, and received rape threats from the singer. Furthermore, despite flying Bianco over to LA, no video for the track was ever released. While the pair then entered into a consensual sexual relationship in May 2009, Manson (real name: Brian Warner) 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. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263105586" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/G6D436.jpg" alt="" width="2100" height="1368" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images / Alamy]] It also claims that during various other incidents, the 'Sweet Dreams' performer chased the actress around his home while carrying an ax and even cut her with a knife during sex. The lawsuit comes after <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/marilyn-manson-all-abuse-allegations_n_601ac24ec5b6c2d891a51e8c?ri18n=true">at least 16 women</a> came forward earlier this year to accuse Manson of physical and sexual abuse. These allegations were prompted by a social media post by Evan Rachel Wood in which she shared several explosive claims of abuse and exposed her ex-fiancé as the alleged abuser. In a statement made on her official <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evanrachelwood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> account, the 33-year-old Westworld actress wrote: "The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CKvmsUmF1ho/]] Wood continued: <blockquote>"He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. "I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him before he ruins more lives.  "I stand with the many victims who will no longer be silent." </blockquote> At the time, Manson vehemently denied the allegations as "distortions of reality" in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxZavzAGOe/">statement</a> on his own Instagram. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxZavzAGOe/]] His statement reads: <blockquote>"Obviously my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims 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 misinterpret the past. That is the truth."</blockquote> At the time of allegations, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/01/entertainment/marilyn-manson-esme-bianco-lawsuit/index.html">statement</a> that its "Special Victims Bureau is investigating allegation(s) of domestic violence involving Mr. Brian Warner." <h6>Featured image credit: Ron Adar / Alamy</h6>
