Marilyn Manson will performing at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday, April 5th 2025! Though Manson had not been previously scheduled for this event which is just a few weeks away, yesterday Arizona Bike Week made the following announcement on their social media pages: "Five Finger Death Punch had to cancel their performance due to a family matter, but we’re thrilled to announce Marilyn Manson will be taking the stage in the RockYard on Saturday, April 5th!! Saturday ticket holders will be receiving an email regarding this schedule change." Due to the lineup change, this will be Marilyn Manson's first headliner at a festival since his return to the stage last year. Regarding the nearly last minute schedule change, Arizona Bike Week producer Lisa Cyr told the Arizona Republic the following: “It’s been a little crazy, obviously. A lot of scrambling. But we’re pretty excited with the way it all turned out. Marilyn Manson, I hear that his last few tours hav...
Bianca Allaine Kyne, a resident of Maryland, originally filed a complaint against Brian Warner/Marilyn Manson as a Jane Doe on January 30, 2023, in New York under the Adult Survivors Act, asserting a sexual battery claim against Manson and intentional infliction of emotional distress. With this she also made allegations that he sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990's when she was a minor in her native Texas. She also makes various negligence claims against Interscope Records, Nothing Records and 20 Jane Doe's whose names have not been disclosed. On February 8th, the Marilyn Manson Uncanceled website published an email authored by Bianca Allaine which she thought was sent to Jeordie White in July 2021, but in reality it was submitted to the fansite Base Tendencies. In this email, Bianca basically confesses to Jeordie that her allegations against Manson are a hoax. On February 24, 2023, Bianca disclosed her identity, revealing herself as Bianca Kyne, her married name instead of her popular name. Since then not much has moved forward with this case due to attempts to get the case dismissed by the defendant.
While Bianca was active on social media in 2022 making many allegations against Manson and threatening a coming lawsuit, in 2023 she went silent and has been silent since issuing her lawsuit against Manson. Then suddenly, on January 25, 2024, a year after issuing her lawsuit against Manson, Bianca resurfaced at a live press event at the Anaheim Convention Center, where the NAMM music product trade show was taking place, with her lawyer Jeff Anderson and nine other sexual assault survivors he is representing to expose predators in the music industry. While making a rare appearance and being one of the few who did not speak at this event, she did also resurface on Facebook and Instagram (the latter of which is private). On Facebook she revealed that she had recently made a long-term move to Los Angeles in order to complete her long promised (since 2015!) horror film Zombinatrix in Hollywood. According to Bianca: "The massive delay was in trying to organize a crew and talent while in Maryland. There were some talented people, of course, but in L.A., movie making is the norm, so asking someone to be available for a week (or month) of filming is a breeze. And locations! Jeez, it was nearly impossible on a small budget."
With her public appearance and resurfacing on social media all in a 24 hour period, while parading a new positive and upbeat attitude and styling new shortened hair in a modest outfit, and having made a big move from Maryland to Los Angeles, a city which she had previously spoken negatively about, it makes you wonder what is really going on. She has made similar promises about Zombinatrix dozens of times before, since 2015. Is she hoping to use her new connections among fellow "survivors" to get her movie completed? Of course, we know about her close connection with Lenora Claire, who is on the LA District Attorney's Crime Victim Advisory Board with other close connections among Manson's accusers, and who is set to costar with Bianca in Zombinatrix. Now, as the live press event revealed, her network has dramatically increased in L.A., which may be the source of her new optimism. Or is she being prematurely optimistic of her hoped for results in her lawsuit?
