Model Ashley Morgan Smithline was one of the first women to accuse Marilyn Manson of sexual abuse when accusations first surfaced publicly on Feb. 1. In a new interview with
People, Smithline detailed the harrowing nature of the abuse.
Calling Manson the “most terrifying monster in the world,” Smithline said that during their two-year relationship from 2010-2012, the shock rocker allegedly “bit her, whipped her, cut her with a swastika-emblazoned knife and shoved his fist in her mouth during sex.” Smithline, who is of Jewish descent, said that whenever she’d travel, Manson would make her look for Nazi memorabilia to bring back to him.

Marilyn Manson has denied the rape and sexual assault allegations levelled against him by Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco.
The songstress, who first opened up about her horrific experience with Manson in February this year, filed a lawsuit against him on Friday for sexually abusing, drugging, and torturing her multiple times. According to the lawsuit, Manson started making sexual advances disguised as jokes towards Bianco in 2007, two years after they first met.
Game of Thrones, sued Manson, born Brian Warner, on Friday, accusing him of sexual assault and sexual battery. The suit also names Warner’s longtime manager,
Tony Ciulla, and accuses him and Warner of violating human trafficking laws and forcing Bianco into “unpaid labor” when she was invited from the U.K. to Warner’s house in Los Angeles to star in a music video, only to learn that no video was being filmed.
“To be clear, this suit was only filed after my client refused to be shaken down by Ms. Bianco and her lawyer and give in to their outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred,” King’s statement reads. “We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail.”
Marilyn Manson alleging the musician raped and sexually assaulted her,
Bianco, an actress who was on
Game of Thrones, had accused Manson of abuse in February. She told ABC News then that the rocker, born
Brian Warner, had physically, sexually and psychologically abused her during their three-year relationship.
“I was coerced, I was defrauded, I was transported from the U.K. to the U.S., I was harbored, and then I was coerced into involuntarily servitude, which included sexual abuse and physical abuse,” she said.
The suit also names Warner’s longtime manager, Tony Ciulla, and accuses him and Warner of violating human trafficking laws and forcing Bianco into “unpaid labor” when she was invited from the U.K. to Warner’s house in Los Angeles to star in a music video, only to learn that no video was being filmed. It was during this time, Bianco says, that the abuse began.
