Bianca Allaine Kyne, a woman who alleges that Marilyn Manson groomed and sexually assaulted her multiple times in the 1990s, is speaking out for the first time. Kyne, now 44, claims that Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, subjected her to abuse when she was 16 years old in New Orleans in 1995 and again in 1999 on Long Island and in upstate New York. She describes the experiences as “horrific” and states that Warner used his power to coerce her into fulfilling his desires.
In a statement released by her lawyer, Jeff Anderson, Kyne reveals that she felt empowered to come forward with her full identity after a recent legal ruling in one of her lawsuits against Manson. Warner’s lawyer, Howard King, dismisses Kyne’s allegations as “vicious lies”, calling them a “shakedown” of his client. King asserts that Warner has no recollection of ever meeting Kyne and denies any intimate involvement with her.
Kyne initially filed a lawsuit against Warner in Nassau County, N.Y., as Jane Doe in January 2023. She alleged that Warner manipulated her into joining him on a tour bus after a concert when she was still a minor. Warner filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, but the judge ruled in Kyne’s favor, allowing her claims to proceed. Kyne’s lawsuits also include negligence claims against Interscope and Nothing Records, the labels that released Warner’s music.
Warner, 55, has faced similar accusations from more than a dozen women, including private settlements with accusers like Esmé Bianco and a Jane Doe who alleged he raped her. Some accusers have recanted their allegations, while others, like Ashley Walters, have pursued legal action. Walters, Warner’s former assistant, alleges he physically and sexually assaulted her during her time working for him.
Another accuser, a photographer named Susan Fountain, is seeking to reinstate her case against Warner after it was dismissed due to a legal oversight by her attorney. Fountain claims Warner caused her “fear and anxiety” by spitting and blowing his nose on her at a concert in 2019. Her case is scheduled for a hearing next month.
Kyne is standing firm in her pursuit of justice, stating that she is no longer afraid and is committed to exposing an industry that values profit over the safety of vulnerable women. As the legal battles continue, the truth behind Kyne’s allegations and the other accusers’ claims against Warner remains to be seen.
