The actress Esmé Bianco, popularly known for her role as Ros in
Game of Thrones
, reached an out-of-court agreement with the musician Marilyn Manson in her lawsuit for various sexual assaults.
This was confirmed by her lawyer Jay Ellwanger to
Rolling Stone
magazine , through a brief statement in which she states that "Miss Bianco has agreed
to settle her claims against Brian Warner (real name of the artist) in order to move forward with her life and career."
However, the lawyer did not provide details on the terms of the agreement reached by
the complaint made in 2021 for multiple physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse.

The relationship between Bianco and the musician dates back to the second half of the 2000s, when she was called to star in a video clip.
According to the actress's account, she was forced to stay at the house of Marilyn Manson, who would have held her captive, on which occasion she
was subjected to various tortures and sexual practices.
At the time of filing the lawsuit, Bianco said that at the time she did not want to disclose what happened for fear that her acting career could not prosper.
The settlement comes just days after a Los Angeles judge dismissed another lawsuit by a woman against the musician for sexual assault, following the resignation of the alleged victim's attorney.
However, the case could be reopened if the woman appoints a new legal representative.

Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson falls on eleven other complaints made by different women for abuse, which put a brake on his musical career.
More complaints
In 2021, more than a dozen women have accused Manson of psychological or sexual abuse, several in interviews with outlets including
the Los Angeles Times
and
People
;
four filed civil lawsuits.
The accusers - who spoke to Rolling Stone magazine - say the singer was able to hide his abuses in plain sight behind the Marilyn Manson character he created and the music industry that supported and profited from his living demon gimmick.
To his accusers, some of whom have not spoken publicly or in depth about this before, he is a
serial
sexual predator who has been telling the world who he is for more than 25 years.
An always controversial race
Marilyn Manson emerged as a rock figure in the '90s, with hits like The Beautiful People and hit records like 1996's Antichrist Superstar and 1998's Mechanical Animals.
