Marilyn Manson accuser speaks publicly for the first time

A woman has publicly opened up for the first time about the "horrific" abuse she claims Marilyn Manson subjected her to when she was underage. In a statement, Bianca Allaine Kyne said she felt “empowered” to come forward with her full identity. Kyne claimed that when she was 16 years old, Manson “exploited his power and twisted his influence to coerce me into his dark desires.” Kyne, who filed an anonymous lawsuit, claims the incidents occurred in 1995 after a concert in New Orleans. "For years, I lived under his shadow, paralysed 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 It has been replaced by an unwavering pursuit of justice.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 prioritises profit over the safety of vulnerable young women," said Kyne. Manson's lawyer, Howard King, has denied the allegations, calling them "vicious lies" and a "shakedown" attempt.
