Esme Bianco Has Politicized the Marilyn Manson Investigation

  As mentioned in my previous post , Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon issued a peculiar statement on October 9th updating people on the criminal investigation of Marilyn Manson by his office. In the statement it was revealed that "our office’s Sex Crimes Division are carefully reviewing new leads and additional evidence that continue to come to our attention from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s investigation." He also informed us that they "anticipate making a filing decision soon and will provide an update when that time comes." The problem with this is that George Gascon is in danger of losing his position to his opposing candidate, former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Nathan Hochman, who is running as an Independent. Los Angeles residents have realized that progressive policies on criminal justice make things worse for their city, and it appears that a change is just weeks away at the November 5th election. Will we finally be getting the

Senator Susan Rubio and Evan Rachel Wood Reveal the True Unjust Aim of The Phoenix Act

As reported on August 12th 2024, Senator Susan Rubio along with other women, including Esme Bianco, held a press conference to try to get the Phoenix Act 2.0 (SB-690) passed in California. One news report from KTLA 5, which was shared by Rubio, Bianco and Evan Rachel Wood (upon her return to Instagram), interviewed both Rubio and Bianco on what they shared in their press conference. Interestingly, the news report in all fairness also talked about how there is active opposition to having the Phoenix Act 2.0 passed by the Califonia Public Defenders Association, the largest organization of criminal defense attorneys in the State of California. They argue that the statute of limitations is in place because it gives both the accuser and the accused the best possible chances for both sides to present their evidence and for justice to be served, while extending the statute of limitations limits the opportunity for both sides to present their evidence since so much time has passed from the inc

Bianca Allaine Kyne Fails To Properly Update Amended Complaint; Marilyn Manson Makes a Motion To Strike

On July 2, 2024, the court ordered for Bianca Allaine Kyne to make a Second Amended Complaint, striking all references in her original and first amended complaint that spoke of Marilyn Manson's alleged sexual misconduct with minors which supposedly took place in other states. Her Second Amended Complaint was supposed to only focus on allegations of sexual misconduct toward the Plaintiff when she was an adult and that took place in New York, where the lawsuit was filed. She was given thirty days to submit her Second Amended Complaint. Though Bianca initially agreed to this ruling, it is clear that she either misunderstood how to apply it or purposefully ignored to fully implement it. This can be seen in an article soon after published for the media by her law firm which continued to reference her as a victim of Marilyn Manson when she was a minor, and they even went so far as to deem the court ruling a victory for them when in reality it was a victory for Marilyn Manson. On August 2

Marilyn Manson Debuts "Raise the Red Flag" Live as Music Video Hits 2 Million Views in One Week

A little over one week since Marilyn Manson released "Raise the Red Flag" on August 16th, it hit 2 million views on YouTube on August 24th.    That same day, during a sold out headline show in Calgary, Alberta at the Grey Eagle Event Centre, he performed his new song before a live audience for the first time as the ninth song following "Disposable Teens".    It was during this show that Marilyn Manson also performed "The Reflecting God" as an Encore for the first time since 2018.    The music video for his previous single released on August 2nd, "As Sick as the Secrets Within", currently has 3.6 million views on YouTube and continues to be performed by Manson after "The Dope Show".   Watch "Raise the Red Flag" and "The Reflecting God" live performance from Calgary below:    

Women Speak at Anaheim City Council To Ban Marilyn Manson Performance at The Honda Center on September 6th 2024

On the day Marilyn Manson set off on his first tour since 2019 and released his first song since 2020 (August 2nd 2024), two very close friends of a number of Marilyn Manson's accusers embarked on a campaign to prevent him from performing in Anaheim, California on September 6, 2024. Caroline Heldman and Lenora Claire, who are themselves close friends, are well-known women's rights activists with a high profile and in high positions of power and influence. Caroline, a professor at Occidental College, from what can be observed, seems to be friends with Evan Rachel Wood and perhaps best friends with Esme Bianco, who accused Manson of abuse and brought a lawsuit against him, which she decided to not follow through on and agreed to a settlement with him instead. Lenora, who is on the LADA Crime Victims Advisory Board, is not only a friend of Esme Bianco, but of a number of other accusers and their friends, and most notably has been friends for many years with Bianca Allaine Kyne.

An Analysis of Marilyn Manson's New Single and Music Video for "Raise the Red Flag"

Two weeks after releasing the song and music video for "As Sick As The Secrets Within" from his forthcoming album, on August 16th 2024 Marilyn Manson released his second single and music video titled "Raise the Red Flag", both music videos directed by Bill Yukich. The first music video got to one million views on YouTube in one week and three million in two weeks, while the second video got to one million views in three days. Whereas the first track was more self-reflective and retrospective, the second track is more aggressive, polemical and an outright declaration of war. The first is about past and present internal battles, while the second proclaims a future battle by raising up a battle standard or war flag. "Raise the Red Flag" in my opinion is a much more difficult track to interpret than the previous one, because the first one was a little more straightforward while this one I believe requires more context within the album to know exactly what is h

Marilyn Manson in the News (August 5 - 17, 2024)

There is so much going on in the world of Marilyn Manson while he is touring North America and releasing new music, its hard to keep up with everything. I have been updating a few of the bigger stories here and there, but there are some other stories that I think should have some attention that I skipped over and wanted to give a shout out to in order to keep everyone up to date with everything as we move forward to even bigger and better things. 1. The North American Tour The tour so far has been an amazing success, Manson is putting on a show that is beyond expectations for many, and the new music and band so far are great. I've yet to hear anyone complain all that much about anything, rather I overwhelmingly only hear positive reviews of everything Manson has been doing, with many even hailing it as among the greatest comebacks in Rock and Roll history. And the enthusiasm among Manson fans has been the best in many years. Daily we see this like we never have seen before, with ne

Esme Bianco Reemerges As an Advocate for the Phoenix Act 2.0

Today, the 12th of August 2024, Esme Bianco reemerged like it was 2019, absent Evan Rachel Wood. As we know, Esme Bianco was the co-creator of the original Phoenix Act (SB-273) with Evan Rachel Wood and headed by Senator Susan Rubio, when they sought to extend the statute of limitations on domestic violence, and succeeded in raising it up to five years in January 2020. Both Evan and Esme had testified on behalf of the Phoenix Act before the California Assembly in July 2019, both describing horrible abuse at the hands of Marilyn Manson, and their inability to hold him accountable due to the statute of limitations. However, when they testified at that time, neither of them named Marilyn Manson as their abuser. They didn't name him until February 1, 2021, when they with others decided to all name him together on social media. Originally Evan and Esme wanted to extend the statute of limitations to ten years, but settled on five years. More recently Senator Susan Rubio has been leading

Marilyn Manson Concert Review: PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey (8/5/2024)

Photo courtesy of Lisa from The Manson Cases Here is my promised concert review. This was Marilyn Manson's third show of the tour, the second supporting Five Finger Death Punch. The setlist included all twelve songs performed on August 2nd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, except at this show the new single "As Sick As The Secrets Within" was added after "The Dope Show", like it was on August 3rd in Silver Spring, Maryland. It was also the day the new music video for the song hit one million plays on YouTube. This was Manson's first Amphitheatre show of the tour. The advantage of an Amphitheatre is that they are designed to produce a great sound from a given performance, especially if you are in the seated area which is covered above you. With that being said, Manson's vocals really sounded great at this show, and the band was clear, strong and tight.   On a personal note, because I've been suffering through some pretty bad back pain the past few months from

Marilyn Manson 's First Headline Show of His 2024 Summer Tour

On Saturday the 3rd of August 2024, Marilyn Manson returned to the stage for his first headline show since 2019 in Silver Spring, Maryland at The Fillmore. The performance lasted approximately one hour and twenty minutes, with a very excited audience throughout the entire show. The day before the band had performed as the opener for Five Finger Death Punch in Pennsylvania, kickstarting their Summer 2024 North American tour. The setlist in Silver Spring included the songs from the previous day, but added one song from Holy Wood ("Cruci-Fiction In Space"), two songs from Mechanical Animals ("Great Big White World", "Coma White"), one song from Pale Emperor ("Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge"), and for the first time his new single "As Sick As The Secrets Within" was performed live.   A fan-filmed video of the entire show is available below: * Cruci-Fiction In Space 03:02 * Disposable Teens 08:09 * Angel With The Scabbed Wings 11:25 * Say
