Embattled shock rocker Marilyn Manson (née Brian Warner) has been on his comeback run as of late, hinting at new music in the future and announcing major tours with bands like Slaughter to Prevail and Five Finger Death Punch. Multiple lawsuits filed against him alleging sexual abuse and gross misconduct have since either been settled out of court or dismissed, but he’s still got legal troubles to worry about. And in one of those cases, the accuser’s come out of the shadows to share her story.
In a recent Rolling Stone report, Manson accuser Bianca Allaine Kyne revealed herself as the “Jane Doe” named in two lawsuits against the musician. Originally filed in Nassau County, New York back in January 2023, Kyne’s lawsuit alleges that she was sexually coerced by Manson multiple times in the ’90s when she was as young as 16-years-old. A portion of her case has since been moved to Louisiana due to the fact that one of the incidents allegedly took place there.
In a statement issued through her lawyer Jeff Anderson, Kyne said she was urged to reveal herself as an accuser following a recent ruling in one of her cases. Now unveiled to the world, she says she was subjected to “horrific” treatment by the now 55-year-old shock rocker.
“No longer a nameless victim, I stand before you as Bianca Allaine Kyne, a survivor. Today, I reclaim my voice, a voice stolen for far too long.
“For years, I lived under his shadow, paralyzed by fear. But that fear no longer controls me. It has been replaced by an unwavering pursuit of justice. I stand tall, unafraid. This is not just about my personal story. This is about exposing an industry that prioritizes profit over the safety of vulnerable young women.”
According to Kyne, she was coerced into multiple inappropriate situations with Manson, with the first instance taking place in New Orleans in December 1995. At the time she was 16 years old. She also alleges that she was manipulated into having sex with Manson in both Uniondale and Buffalo, New York in April 1999.
“Warner exploited his power and twisted influence to coerce me into his dark desires. The young girl he groomed in Louisiana became a victim of his perversion in New York.”
In response to Kyne’s allegations, Manson’s lawyer Howard King said her statements were “vicious lies” that were only being said in public now to shakedown his client.
“Bryan 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. She has been shopping her fabricated tale to tabloids and on podcasts for more than three years. But even the most minimal amount of scrutiny reveals the obvious discrepancies in her ever-shifting stories as well as her extensive collusion with other false accusers.”
