Marilyn Manson is defending himself against allegations of sexual abuse and other charges brought against him by actress Esmé Bianco. The accusations of sexual, physical and emotional abuse in Bianco’s Friday lawsuit are “probably false,” said a lawyer for the 52-year-old Manson. The lawsuit claims that Manson — real name is Brian Warner — brought Bianco to Hollywood in 2011 under the guise of acting jobs which never materialized. Bianco claims she was brought to Manson’s house, given alcohol and drugs, locked in a bedroom where she was whipped and shocked, and forced to have sex with another woman.
Manson’s lawyer Howard E. King said: “To be clear, this suit was only filed after my client refused to be shaken down by Ms Bianco and her lawyer and give in to their outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred. We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail.”
Bianco’s lawsuit says: “It took Ms Bianco years to understand the extent of Mr Warner’s physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse. She deals with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and panic attacks to this day as a result.”
Back in February, Manson had previously responded to allegations of abuse by Bianco, along with actress Evan Rachel Wood and several other women, calling them “horrible distortions of reality”. Manson wrote on Instagram at the time: “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”

19-year-old Billie Eilish is featured on the cover of British Vogue, shortly after changing her green and black hair for blonde. The magazine said, “She is indulging a fantasy by embracing a ‘classic, old-timey pin-up’ look.”
Eilish said she wanted to explore the beauty of corsets, which she said she knew would rile people, but was also drawn to their original restrictive function. The new look is a huge change for Eilish, who said in the interview that her body is her “deepest insecurity” and was the initial reason for her depression when she was younger, which led to her wearing baggy clothes. Eilish said she expects criticism of her more revealing shoot with British Vogue, adding, “My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It’s all about what makes you feel good. Showing your body and showing your skin — or not — should not take any respect away from you.”
Eilish’s new album “Happier Than Ever” will be released on July 30.
