The sexual assault lawsuit filed by Game of Thrones actor Esmé Bianco against shock-rocker Marilyn Manson (legal name Brian Warner) has reached a settlement. Bianco filed this lawsuit back in 2021, suing Manson for rape, sexual battery, and human trafficking.

As of recently, and as reported by Rolling Stone, Bianco and Manson have reached an out-of-court settlement. Bianco’s lawyer, Jay Ellwanger, shared the following with Rolling Stone:

“Ms. Bianco has agreed to resolve her claims against Brian Warner and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc. in order to move on with her life and career.”

Manson’s attorney, Howard King, shared the following with Rolling Stone:

“Ms. Bianco has agreed to resolve her claims against Brian Warner and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc.”

The details regarding this settlement are unknown.

Among the claims shared within that lawsuit filed against Manson, there were allegations that “Mr. Warner used drugs, force, and threats of force to coerce sexual acts from Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions,” as well as “Mr. Warner raped Ms. Bianco in or around May 2011.”

Last year, Bianco had also accused Manson of interfering with her career. In regards to a project where she was supposed to work with Deftones and Gojira, she claimed that Manson pulled some strings and put a stop to that project. To learn more details about this story, follow the link below.

Bianco is one of several women who have come forward and accused Marilyn Manson of sexual abuse.
