Esme opened up about the allegations of physical abuse, torture, and control, calling him a 'serial predator'. Esme claimed Manson inflicted cuts and bruises that left permanent scars on her body, including cutting her torso with a knife. "I just remember laying there, and I didn't fight it. It was kind of this final-straw moment where I had lost all sense of hope and safety," she said. Bianco has also provided the outlet with emails, text messages, and photographs from her time with Manson that corroborates her story. The actor first came forward as a survivor of abuse in 2019, testifying in front of the California Assembly in an effort to help reform domestic violence laws.

Following his divorce from Von Teese, Bianco and Manson started dating. Esme shared horrific details about their romance wherein Marilyn would bite her without consent leaving her body bruised. When the first episode of Game of Thrones premiered, Esme was living in with Marilyn and claimed that he would repeatedly replay the sex scene for guests on a projector, humiliating her. "I think I would have made excuses for him. I was in survival mode at that point, and my brain had taught me to be small and agreeable," she recalled. Her breaking point came when she was chased around with an axe.
