Marilyn Manson: The Boy That You Loved Is The Man That You Fear...

Part Two - Esmé Bianco

Esmé Bianco is an actress and a neo-burlesque performer who was born in Hertfordshire, England on May 25th 1987. She is known for portraying the character Ros in Game Of Thrones between 2011 - 2013.

In 2005, after being a fan of Marilyn Manson for many years, she met him through Dita Von Teese, who was his fiancé at the time. Four years later, so in 2009, Marilyn Manson asked Esmé if she wanted to be in his music video for the song "I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies". The video would be shot in home-material style and for that music video he would need a "lover/victim". She alleges that he told her that she would have to "pretend to be manhandled by me. Sorry." After they filmed the music video for "I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies", they were in a relationship between 2010 - 2011.

Fast forward about 10 years, because in 2019 she's before the congress to talk about her abuse experience in the hands of Marilyn Manson. She would also take to her social media accounts to talk about it around this time; talking about what it was like filming Game Of Thrones after going through such a traumatic experience and that she has PTSD. While not mentioning any names, it wasn't hard to figure out who she was talking about. This was all to help pass the Phoenix Act, which was passed into law on January 1st 2020.

One year later, in the beginning of February 2021, she went onto her Instagram to release a statement, naming Marilyn Manson as her abuser and accusing him of sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental and emotional abuse and human trafficking. She also went on to post a picture of a back with supposed whipmarks as proof of the abuse she alleges that she went through, because she did say that Marilyn Manson would continuously whip her on her back. After this, she has done a few interviews with news outlets and media outlets such as The Cut, Good Morning America and LA Times. In her interview with The Cut she mentions how she "basically felt like a prisoner" and how she "came and went at his pleasure" and who she spoke to was "controlled by him". And in the interview with Good Morning America she mentioned that she only stayed with him because she said she thought he was in love with her, and that she was scared every single moment she was with him. And she told LA Times that "he's so much worse than his persona" and once again accused him of trafficking. During that same year she sued Marilyn Manson for trafficking, but that lawsuit, and case, was settled in late January 2023.

Since then, she has gone on to write poetry and has been featured on one song that's called "Like A Ghost", by Andy Caldwell and was released during the beginning of July 2021.

But, was anything that she said about Marilyn Manson true? No, not really. Because for an example, in her 2019 testimony you can tell by her body language that she's not being truthful by covering her mouth, constantly looking up and down from her piece of paper that she's reading off of, swallowing hard and absolutely no eye contact at all. And in her interview with Good Morning America, she licks her lips and does many lip compressions because her lips are dry (dry lips comes from lying too much) and there's a lot of blinking when she mentions how scared she was of him because her eyes are dry (dry eyes also comes from lying too much).

And in her lawsuit she mentions that she didn't realize that she was abused until during the fall of 2020, which is contradicting anything that she's done before that time, in a way. Because she did start talking about her alleged abuse experience way back in 2019, since that's when she sat in front of the congress to testify about her alleged abuse experience, as well as talking about it on all her social media platforms. Plus the fact that the two part mini documentary "Phoenix Rising" was filmed during the summer of 2020, but that's something I'll dive deeper into later on.

Now, let's talk about the human trafficking part. Because, like I've mentioned earlier, Esmé has accused Marilyn Manson of human trafficking when she was in a relationship with him, and when they were filming the music video for "I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies". But here's the thing... Was she trafficked? The answer to that is, no. She wasn't. Because she got the script as well as some information about the character she was gonna be portraying and she accepted that. But, since she lived in the UK at the time that this would take place, she had to get a work visa so she could travel to LA to work here, together with Marilyn Manson. So that means she accepted the role she was gonna play in that music video, she got a work visa and willingly got herself on a plane to LA. And that's not exactly trafficking, since trafficking contains force, fraud and coercion. And what was it about any of what I just mentioned that was forced, you may ask? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Was anything fraudulent? No. He promised her work and there was an entire film crew there when they were filming. It's just that the music video never saw the light of day, and that happens with TV shows, movies etc very often. Was she coerced into doing anything she didn't want to do? No. She was almost 30 years old when the two met to film this music video, and because she willingly got herself on a plane to travel from the UK to LA to work. So, once again, no. She wasn't trafficked. She's accused Marilyn Manson of human trafficking because the music video she was a part of never was released.

And last, but absolutely not least... She got a green card in 2014/2015 and has resided in LA ever since. So... A few final questions... Why is she residing in the same city as her alleged abuser? Why did she choose to stay in LA instead of going back to the UK, since her alleged abuser also resides in LA? Was it to pursue her career in acting? Did she use Marilyn Manson so she could get connections and jumpstart her acting career while she was with him? The answer to all of these questions are most likely, and unfortunately, yes.
