Personal life
In February 2021, Bianco accused musician Marilyn Manson of physically abusing her during their relationship in 2011, after she had split from her husband. In April 2021, Bianco sued Manson for sexual assault, human trafficking, and abuse. Bianco alleged that she was given drugs and alcohol, and also subjected to threats of violence and rape. Bianco also alleged that Manson tied her to a prayer kneeler, beat her with a whip, and raped her. Marilyn Manson responded to Bianco through his attorney, stating that Bianco's allegations were "provably false." They reached an out-of-court settlement in January 2023, with the terms of agreement not disclosed.
