Esme Bianco, who is best known from the Game of Thrones, has taken legal action against Marilyn Manson on the grounds that the musician had abused her.
‘Game of Thrones’: Esme Bianco Accuses Marilyn Manson Of Using ‘Force To Coerce Sexual Acts’
So when did the two meet? They came across each other in 2005, as Esme was going to be involved in Marilyn’s music video. The title of the song, ‘I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies’ is clearly more telling in light of these revelations. Although there is nothing to suggest that anything romantic had occurred, Marilyn had allegedly requested nude photos of Esme.
And things soon escalated from there. The lawsuit, in question, has detailed the graphic nature of the abuse that Esme was reportedly subjected to. These include the use of “drugs, force, and threat[s] of force to coerce sexual acts from Bianco on multiple occasions.” This was accompanied by “spanking, biting, cutting, and whipping.”
The consequences of these actions have continued to impact Esme today. Given that she is an actress by trade, if these allegations were true, then they are going to significantly impact her ability to do her job. The results have been damming, with Esme suffering from “post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.”
Marilyn, for his part, has denied the accusations coming his way. In a statement posted to his fans on Instagram, the musician viewed these claims as an attempt to smear his name. He said: “These recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality. My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”
That has not stopped Esme from pushing ahead with the truth. And it does look bad for Marilyn, given his recent history. This has not been the only incident. He was initially accused of sexual misconduct by Evan Rachel Wood. That is why Esme has continued to call for justice.
In a post to her fans on Twitter, she said: “For far too long, my abuser has been left unchecked, enabled by money, fame and an industry that turned a blind eye.” With an investigation still likely to be ongoing, we are no further from the truth. We will have to see how this will all play out.
