Marilyn Manson accuser breaks silence after court ruling

Marilyn Manson accuser breaks silence after court ruling

A woman who The singer claims Marilyn Manson sexually assaulted her repeatedly in the 1990s, starting when she was a minor. She is speaking out publicly for the first time. In a new statement released Monday, she said she felt “empowered” to reveal her full identity after a recent ruling in one of her two lawsuits against the shock rocker, filed in New York and Louisiana.

“I am no longer an anonymous victim, I stand before you as Bianca Allaine Kyne, a survivor. Today, I am reclaiming my voice, a voice stolen for far too long,” Kyne said in a new statement released by her attorney, Jeff Anderson. Kyne claims Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, subjected her to “horrific” abuse in New Orleans in 1995, when she was 16, and again in 1999 on Long Island and upstate New York. “Warner used his power and perverse influence to coerce me into his dark desires,” she said. “The young girl he groomed in Louisiana became a victim of his perversion in New York.”

Warner’s attorney, Howard King, says Kyne’s allegations are “vicious lies” that amount to “extortion” of his client. “Bryan Warner does not know this person and has no recollection of meeting her 28 years ago,” King said. Rolling stone“He certainly never had any intimacy with her. She sold her fabricated story to tabloids and on podcasts for more than three years. But even a close examination reveals obvious discrepancies in her ever-changing narratives as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers.”

Kyne, 44, first sued Warner in Nassau County, New York, as a Jane Doe in January 2023. She alleged that Warner used his fame and power as an adult to manipulate her into joining him on a tour bus after a concert in New Orleans in December 1995, when she was still 16. She claimed Warner complimented her on her artwork, then began kissing her, “biting her breasts” and subjecting her to “oral copulation and penetration.” She alleged that Warner later “forced” her to have sex in Uniondale and Buffalo, within days of each other, in April 1999, after she turned 18.

Warner filed a motion to dismiss the New York complaint on May 22, 2023. Last December, Kyne voluntarily moved the New Orleans child molestation allegations to a separate complaint in Louisiana. Earlier this month, on July 5, the judge overseeing the New York case upheld the removal of the 1995 Louisiana allegations from New Orleans while rejecting Warner’s attempt to dismiss Kyne’s claim for “intentional infliction of emotional distress” related to her alleged 1999 assaults. In a mixed decision, the judge sided with Warner when he further ruled that Kyne must remove all mention of her alleged grooming and sexual abuse as a minor from the “Fact Background” section of her New York complaint and remove all paragraphs relating to the artistic drawings she composed as a minor and allegedly showed Warner. (Warner has not attempted to dismiss Kyne’s sexual assault allegations related to the alleged 1999 assaults.)

“For years, I lived under her shadow, paralyzed by fear. But that fear no longer controls me. It has been replaced by an unwavering quest for justice. I stand, unafraid,” Kyne says in her new statement. “This isn’t just about my personal story. It’s about exposing 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 from more than a dozen women. Last September, he reached a private settlement with a Jane Doe accuser who accused him of brutally raping her in 2011. The accuser also claimed Warner deprived her of food and sleep during their relationship and threatened to “bash her head in” if she reported him.

The September deal came after Warner reached a separate agreement with Game Of Thrones Star Esmé Bianco was accused by Warner of raping and beating her in January 2023. Former accuser Ashley Morgan Smithline let her trial end in absentia last year and officially recanted her allegations against Warner.

Warner’s former assistant Ashley Walters sued Warner in 2021 and was recently granted a trial date in June 2025. Walters, an artist who worked for Warner during what she calls a “horrific” year that ended in 2011, alleges that Warner whipped her, threw plates at her and sexually assaulted her.

Meanwhile, a photographer who claims Warner caused her “fear and anxiety” when he spat and blew his nose at her during a concert in New Hampshire in 2019 is asking a Los Angeles judge to reconsider a second dismissal of her case in January, citing “inadvertence or error” by her attorney, who failed to attend a hearing. The hearing in the lawsuit filed by photographer Susan Fountain is scheduled for next month.
