The beginning of the year 2021 has been a stressful one. The world is still recovering from the effects of COVID-19. In a recent turn of events, there has been a shocking revelation about singer Marilyn Manson’s off-screen life. Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco has accused Manson of emotional and physical abuse.
In an interview with The Cut, Bianco said her relationship with Manson, real name Brian Warner, has left her with PTSD and physical scars. “He’s told the world time and time again, ‘This is who I am’. He hid in plain sight,” she said.
During their relationship, she said he would inflict permanent scars on her body. Including the time he cut her torso with a knife. “I just remember laying there, and I didn’t fight it. It was kind of this final-straw moment where I had lost all sense of hope and safety,” Bianco said.
She added, “I think I would have made excuses for him. I was in survival mode at that point. My brain had taught me to be small and agreeable. I basically felt like a prisoner. I came and went at his pleasure. Who I spoke to was completely controlled by him. I called my family hiding in the closet.”
“Now, when I think about that, I’m so ashamed. I was desperately trying to please him and to keep myself out of trouble,” she said.
