The two stayed in touch through Manson's two-year marriage to Von Teese, with the singer meeting Bianco while visiting the UK for work. The gruesome images were later shared online without Bianco's consent, she claimed.Īccording to the court filing, Bianco, an English actress and burlesque performer, first met Manson back in 2005 through Dita Von Teese, his then-fiancée, and the musician expressed interest in casting Bianco in a film project, which never got made. The judge on Thursday said: 'A reasonable jury could find that the effects of Warner's alleged unconscionable acts, including the perceived threat to safety, immigration status, and career, persisted years after her last contact with Warner.'īianco issued a statement to Deadline after the ruling, saying: 'My hope is that this ruling empowers other survivors to pursue justice for themselves while signaling to abusers that they cannot bully victims into silence.'īianco, who is best known for playing the prostitute Ros on the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, is one of a dozen women, among them Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood, who have publicly accused Manson of physical and sexual abuse this year.īianco's bombshell lawsuit reprises and expands on some of the claims that she first made during an interview with New York magazine in February, including how Manson on one occasion cut her with a knife - described in the complaint as a 'Nazi' knife - and then photographed her mutilated naked body.
