Marilyn Manson accuser breaks silence: 'Fear no longer controls me'

A woman who claims Marilyn Manson groomed and sexually assaulted her multiple times in the 1990s — starting when she was still a minor — is speaking publicly for the first time. In a new statement released Monday, the woman says she felt “empowered” to come forward with her full identity after the recent ruling in one of her two lawsuits against the rocker filed in New York and Louisiana.

“No longer an anonymous victim, I stand before you as Bianca Allaine Kyne, a survivor. Today, I reclaim my voice, a voice stolen for far too long,” Kyne says in a new statement released by her attorney, Jeff Anderson. Kyne says Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, subjected her to “horrendous” abuse in New Orleans in 1995, when she was 16, and again in 1999 in Long Island and upstate New York. “Warner used his power and twisted influence to force me into his dark desires,” she says. “Young girl groomed in Louisiana falls victim to his perversion in New York.”

Warner's lawyer Howard King says Kyne's claims are “vicious lies” that amount to a “shakedown” of his client. “Brian Warner doesn't know this person and doesn't remember meeting her 28 years ago,” King says. Rolling rock. “He was certainly never intimate with her. She's been peddling her tale to tabloids and podcasts for more than three years. But even the most minimal scrutiny reveals the obvious discrepancies in her ever-changing stories as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers.”

Kyne, 44, first sued Warner in Nassau County, New York as Jane Doe in January 2023. She alleged that Warner used his celebrity and power as an adult to manipulate her into going on a tourist trip with him. bus after a concert in New Orleans in December 1995, when he was still 16 years old. She claimed Warner complimented her on her artwork and then proceeded to kiss her, “bite her breasts” and subject her to “oral copulation and penetration.” She alleged that Warner later “forced” her to have sex in Uniondale and Buffalo, New York, just days apart in April 1999, after she turned 18.

Warner filed a motion to dismiss the New York lawsuit on May 22, 2023. Last December, Kyne voluntarily moved the child sexual abuse claims of her New Orleans lawsuit to a separate lawsuit in Louisiana. Earlier this month, on July 5, the judge overseeing the New York case sealed the dismissal of the 1995 Louisiana claims in New Orleans, while denying Warner's attempt to strike Kyne's “intentional infliction of emotional distress” claim about with her alleged assaults in 1999. In a mixed ruling, the judge sided with Warner when he further ruled that Kyne must remove any mention of her alleged grooming and sexual abuse as a minor from the “Factual Background” section of her of her complaint in New York and to record any paragraphs related to the artwork she composed as a minor and allegedly showed to Warner. (Warner did not seek to dismiss Kyne's allegations of sexual activity related to the alleged assaults in 1999.)

“For years, I lived under his shadow, paralyzed by fear. But this fear no longer controls me. It has been replaced by an unwavering pursuit of justice. I stand tall, unafraid,” Kyne says in her new statement. “It's not just about my personal story. This is the exposure of an industry that prioritizes profit over the safety of vulnerable young women.” (Kyne's lawsuits also include negligence claims against Interscope and Nothing Records, which released Warner's music.)

Warner, 55, has denied allegations of sexual abuse by more than a dozen women. Last September, he reached a private settlement with a Jane Doe accuser who claimed he brutally raped her in 2011. Doe's accuser further alleged that Warner also deprived her of food and sleep during their relationship and threatened to “hit her head”. if he mentioned him.

The September deal followed after Warner reached a separate deal with Game of Thrones Starring Esmé Bianco in January 2023. Bianco had alleged that Warner raped and beat her. Former accuser Ashley Morgan Smithlin let her lawsuit fall into bankruptcy last year and formally recanted her allegations against Warner.

Former Warner assistant Ashley Walters sued Warner in 2021 and recently received a trial date of June 2025. Walters, an artist who worked for Warner for what she calls a “horrific” year ending in 2011, claims Warner whipped her, threw dishes at her, and sexually assaulted her.

Meanwhile, a photographer who claims Warner caused her “fear and anxiety” when he spat on her and blew his nose at her at a 2019 concert in New Hampshire is asking a Los Angeles judge to reconsider a second dismissal of her case last January, citing “inadvertence or mistake” by her lawyer, who missed the hearing. Photographer Susan Fountain's trial is scheduled for next month.
