The accusations dated back to 2023: a woman, who has remained anonymous until now, had declared that Marilyn Manson had lured and raped her several times in the 1990s, and that the first few times this had happened, she was still a minor. Now, the woman has decided to go on record for the first time. In an official statement released yesterday, the witness wrote that finally revealing her true identity has made her feel stronger. The decision was made following the ruling related to one of the two lawsuits filed in New York and Louisiana against Manson.
“I am no longer a nameless victim. I come to you as Bianca Allaine Kyne, and I am a survivor. Today I am taking back my voice, which was stolen from me for far too long.” This is what Kyne said in a statement released by her attorney, Jeff Anderson. She goes on to say that Manson (aka Brian Warner) subjected her to “horrifying” abuse in New Orleans in 1995, when Kyne was 16. A second incident allegedly occurred in 1999 on Long Island, in upstate New York. “Warner used his power and perverse influence to subjugate me to his dark desires. The young girl he lured in Louisiana became a victim of his perversion in New York.”
Warner's attorney, Howard King, says Kyne's statements are “malicious lies” and amount to “blackmail” his client. “Brian Warner does not know this individual, and has no memory of meeting her 28 years ago,” King told Rolling Stone. “What is certain is that he never had sexual relations with her. Kyne has been artfully constructing his story to sell to the tabloids and podcasts for more than three years. But it doesn't take a thorough investigation to realize that his version is inconsistent from one time to the next, and that he is in close contact with other individuals who have made false accusations against Warner.”
Kyne, now 44, first sued Warner in January 2023 in Nassau County, New York, under the pseudonym Jane Doe — a generic term for “Maria Rossi” to maintain anonymity. She alleged that Warner used his influence and authority as an adult to convince her to board Manson’s tour bus after a concert in New Orleans. It was December 1995, and Kyne was 16. She said Warner first paid her a few compliments, then began kissing her, “biting her breasts,” and then forced her to perform “penetrative and oral sex.” She later said Warner “forced” her to perform sexual acts again in Uniondale and Buffalo, New York, twice within days of each other in April 1999.
On May 22, 2023, Warner filed a motion to dismiss the New York lawsuit. Last December, Kyne moved the child abuse charges in his lawsuit from New Orleans to a separate lawsuit in Louisiana. On July 5 of this year, the judge overseeing the New York case approved dismissing the 1995 Louisiana charges to New Orleans, while denying Warner’s attempt to toss out Kyne’s “intentional infliction of emotional distress” charge related to the alleged 1999 assaults. The decision also gave Warner a small thumbs up: The judge ruled that Kyne must remove all mention of grooming and sexual abuse of a minor from the “Factual Background” section of the New York lawsuit. Warner did not attempt to dismiss Kyne’s sexual assault charges related to the alleged 1999 assaults.
“For years, I have lived in his shadow, paralyzed by fear. But that fear no longer controls me. It has been replaced by a relentless pursuit of justice. I stand, unafraid,” Kyne continues in her new statement. “This isn’t just about my personal story. It’s about exposing an industry that prioritizes profit over the safety of vulnerable young women.” Kyne’s lawsuits include negligence claims against Interscope and Nothing Records, which released Warner’s music.
Warner, 55, has denied sexual abuse allegations from more than a dozen women. Last September, he reached a private settlement with an anonymous accuser who said he brutally raped her in 2011. The woman also alleged that Warner deprived her of food and sleep during their relationship and threatened to “smash her head in” if she reported him.
The settlement comes after Warner reached another settlement with Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco in January 2023. Bianco had accused Warner of rape and sexual assault. Another former accuser, Ashley Morgan Smithline, dropped her lawsuit last year and formally recanted her allegations against Warner.
Warner’s former assistant, Ashley Walters, sued the artist in 2021 and recently received a trial date: June 2025. Walters, an artist who worked for Warner during what she calls a “horrible” year (ending in 2011), claims Warner whipped her, threw plates at her and sexually assaulted her.
Meanwhile, photographer Susan Fountain, who claimed Warner caused her “fear and anxiety” when he spat and blew his nose at her during a 2019 concert in New Hampshire, is asking a Los Angeles judge to reconsider a second dismissal of her case in January, citing “inadvertence or error” by her attorney, who missed a hearing.
