“The Beast came out on the clearing.” With this title he dedicates the Rolling Stone music magazine a thorough research on the musician Brian Warner or Marilyn Manson, as it has been known for 25 years.
As part of the nine-month investigation, Rolling Stone spoke to more than 55 people who have met him Marilyn Manson, among them some of the women who have accused him of sexual or psychological abuse.
According to the creepy testimonies of the victims, Manson had built in his luxurious apartment a specially soundproofed area, where he allegedly locked women up to torture them psychologically or physically.
The shocking descriptions by the three women
The three of the women who accepted and spoke to the magazine – among them the actor Esme Bianco who also starred in the Game of Thrones series – have sued him.
Bianco states that she often abused her verbally, he deprived her of food and sleep, bit her, cut her, electrocuted her, flogged her without her consent and raped her during their two-year relationship. In fact, the actress says that during one of their fights, the singer grabbed an ax and chased her to the apartment, drilling holes in the walls.
But the other women also describe him as someone who approached them with flattery on the one hand and cynical, “black” humor on the other before he then abused them and in a series of heinous acts that allegedly included flogging, scratches with a knife on the skin, forced confinement and rape.
Equally painful was the psychological rape suffered by some of these women, as they say he offered them drugs and alcohol, he controlled their eating habits and their sleep and held them captive until they succumbed to his will. If they wanted to leave him, they say, he threatened to commit suicide or even kill them.
The soundproofed area was nothing more than an incarceration cell where he often “exiled” his comrades there and kept them there for hours in order to punish them for the slightest “misdemeanors”. He called it himself “The room of the bad girls”.
And that, as the magazine claims, it was not something hidden: even Manson himself talked about it in interviews. “If someone is bad, I can shut him down there, he is soundproof”, he had said in a music magazine in 2012.
But Ashley Walters, his former colleague who has sued him for sexual assault, among other things, states that “Manson enjoyed telling others about this booth.”
And the rest of Manson’s apartment was decorated with blood, swastikas and cropped photos from pornographic magazines, according to Rolling Stone.
The furniture, carpets and other objects were black, as were the curtains the singer used to block light in every window, almost all day.
THE temperature was consistently low and an ex-partner refers to the apartment as “The black refrigerator”. Another describes it as a “meat freezer”.
As it seems, the serial with Manson still has many episodes to give us…
