She says he went from being a “massive role model who really helped me through some incredibly dark and difficult times as a teenager” to a “monster who almost destroyed me and almost destroyed so many women.”īianco is the latest voice to join the chorus of women accusing Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, of sexual assault.
