Marilyn Manson says Esme Bianco‘s rape claims are not only bogus, but also come years too late for her to sue him … this according to new legal docs.
The embattled singer just filed to dismiss the ‘GoT’ actress’ claims of sexual assault — and the crux of his argument is that she’s way past the statute of limitations to go running to court over this, and as a result … her claims should be tossed before they’re heard by a jury.
There’s also this, though — in the court filing, obtained by TMZ, Manson’s attorneys write that Bianco’s claims are part of a “coordinated attack” among multiple women who he says are “cynically and dishonestly seeking to monetize and exploit the #MeToo movement.”
Manson doesn’t deny having sex with the women, but describes all the encounters as “consensual” relationships.
Manson’s team goes further, saying Bianco “spent months plotting, workshopping, and fine-tuning” her story into “twisted tales that bear no resemblance to reality.” They also say the accusers, Bianco included, are trying to publicly conflate his shock rock image with fabricated/horrifying claims of abuse.
Bianco’s rape claims against Manson include allegations he had tied her down, whipped her, electrocuted her and cut her with a knife. However, Manson has denied any wrongdoing, and his attorney added Bianco’s claims are “provably false.”
