One of Marilyn Manson’s alleged victims has come forward publicly to say “fear no longer controls me,” after a judge ruled her graphic sex abuse lawsuit against the 90s shock rocker can proceed.
Accuser Bianca Allaine Kyne said she was the woman behind the bombshell suit against “The Dope Show” singer, in a statement that declared she is now “no longer a nameless victim” after the Nassau County court decision Monday.
“For years, I lived under his shadow, paralyzed by fear,” she said in a release sent out shortly after the ruling. “But that fear no longer controls me. It has been replaced by an unwavering pursuit of justice.”
Judge Felice J. Muraca denied a motion to dismiss Kyne’s case filed by Manson — whose real name is Brian Warner — and largely gave the case approval to move forward.
“I feel empowered by the decision reached in New York Supreme Court denying the Defendants’ Motion to throw my case out of court under the Adult Survivors Act in New York,” Kyne added in her statement. “It is a testament that the tide is turning for survivors.”
The suit, first filed in January 2023, accused Manson of sexually grooming and abusing the then unidentified victim in the late 1990s, including claims that he repeatedly raped her starting when she was just 16-years-old in 1995.
The suit said that after the first sexual encounter, Manson said that if she told anyone, “he would kill her and her family,” according to the original filing.
As part of the ruling, the judge ordered Kyne to remove a reference to drawings she made of Manson as a 16-year-old. Judge Muraca wrote that while the drawings were “not scandalous or prejudicial,” they are “completely unnecessary to support [Kyne’s] pleadings.”
Manson’s lawyer hit back, saying that the judge’s ruling reveals the “obvious discrepancies in her ever-shifting story.”
He also claimed that Kyne — who has publicly accused Manson of abuse in the past without confirming she was behind the suit — has shopped her “fabricated tale” for years.
“Brian Warner does not know this individual and has no recollection of ever having met her 28 years ago. He certainly was never intimate with her,” said Manson lawyer Howard King, who called the suit a “shakedown.”
“If anyone actually compares the vicious lies in the complaint with the contents of prior interviews this woman has given to the press and on podcasts, the remarkable inconsistencies will demonstrate why this misguided action will not survive legal examination,” said King.
Since 2021, several women have come forward with sex abuse allegations against Manson.
The gothic shocker claimed in a since-deleted Instagram post that “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”
