Marilyn Manson Settles Sexual Assault Lawsuit Filed By Esmé Bianco

Marilyn Manson, also known as Brian Warner, has settled the federal lawsuit filed by actress Esmé Bianco, who had accused him of sexual assault and sexual battery in 2021, according to several sources.

In a statement provided to Pitchfork, Warner's attorney, Howard E. King, said "Ms. Bianco has agreed to resolve her claims against Brian Warner and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc."

Bianco's attorney wrote in an email to Pitchfork, "Ms. Bianco has agreed to resolve her claims against Brian Warner and Marilyn Manson Records, Inc. in order to move on with her life and career."

Bianco had alleged in 2021 that Manson raped and battered her sexually; she also claimed he had violated California human trafficking laws.

"Mr. Warner used drugs, force, and threats of force to coerce sexual acts from Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions," her filing said. "Mr. Warner raped Ms. Bianco in or around May 2011."

The terms of the agreement reached between the two parties now are unknown.

Slipknot's Corey Taylor Provides Update On Second Solo Album

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor recently revealed that he has commenced working on a new solo album, a follow-up to his 2020 solo debut CMFT.

Taylor confirmed the news in a video message posted on Twitter, saying, "I'm really, really excited. I mean, everything's just bigger this time, man. Everything sounds better; everything's running better; everything's running hot. Instead of where I came from, this is where I'm going."

"Musically, it's harder," Taylor said as he drives to studio in his car. "It's faster, but there's still tons of stuff from the first album. So, there's elements of Slipknot. There's elements of Stone Sour. There's elements of CMFT. There's elements of the stuff that I've been doing for years. Just, like, cover-wise or whatever, just all the stuff that I've always wanted to do, we're doing that."

Last week, bassist Eliot Lorango had revealed that he was in the studio with Taylor and that things were "sounding rad."

As he got out of the car and started walking into the studio, Taylor concluded, "I'm serious as a heart attack. Nobody is ready for what they're about to hear. But first, we gotta record it."
