“Game of Thrones” actor Esmé Bianco has sued Marilyn Manson alleging sexual, physical and emotional abuse.

After coming forward with sexual abuse allegations against rock star Marilyn Manson, Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco is taking him to court. Bianco on Friday filed a lawsuit against Manson, accusing him of rape and sexual battery, Rolling Stone reports. The actress, who played Ros on Game of Thrones, also alleges that Manson violated human trafficking laws when he brought her to Los Angeles from London to star in projects that were never made or released. Bianco first leveled her allegations against Manson earlier this year, accusing him of physically and sexually abusing her during their relationship. The lawsuit alleges Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, "used drugs, force, and threats of force to coerce sexual acts from Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions" and accuses him of raping her, groping her in public, and "spanking, biting, cutting, and whipping Ms. Bianco's buttocks, breasts, and genitals" without consent. In one incident, Manson allegedly locked Bianco in a bedroom, "tied her to a prayer kneeler, and beat her with a whip that Mr. Warner said was utilized by the Nazis" and "electrocuted her." The lawsuit alleges he also once chased her "around the apartment with an ax," cut her "with a Nazi knife during sex," and kept her "awake for days at a time and then would lock her out of the apartment overnight." Additionally, Manson is accused of having "employed fraud" by bringing Bianco to the U.S. based on the promise of "work opportunities that never appeared while inserting himself in her visa process" so that he could "control Ms. Bianco by threatening to withdraw support if she displeased him." Numerous other women have also come forward with abuse allegations against Manson, including Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood, who alleged in February that he "horrifically abused me for years." Manson has denied the allegations and said that "my intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners."

Snap's Chief Business Officer Jeremi Gorman said this week that one of the Snapchat's original shows was so widely viewed it topped the viewership of the "Game of Thrones" finale. Gorman, speaking at a session at Advertising Week with "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah in New York Wednesday, said Snapchat's original series "Endless Summer" was watched by 28 million people, more than the number of people who watched the finale of HBO's "Game of Thrones." A record 19.3 million people tuned in to watch the "Game of Thrones" finale the night it aired. Gorman said the total number of those tuning into the "Game of Thrones" finale was 25 million, but it wasn't clear where she was citing the number from. A Snap spokesperson said the company counts a view when a video is opened by a user, regardless of how long the video was watched for.

(CNN) - There are plenty of games within the game at this Sunday's Emmy ceremony, but none more intriguing than whether "Game of Thrones" will go out in another blaze of glory, torching the field one more time after its polarizing final season. Still, there are several more milestones that could fall on Sunday, when the main Emmy ceremony is televised by Fox. Three more wins ("Thrones" is nominated in seven remaining categories) would bring the overall 2019 trophies to 13, eclipsing the show's own record of 12, reached in both 2015 and 2016. For starters, those most vocal in their criticism of the final season probably aren't entirely representative of the wider audience base. The Emmy Awards will air Sept. 22 at 8 p.m.

(CNN) - There could be more winter coming to HBO, with another "Game of Thrones" prequel potentially advancing to the pilot stage. Martin is working on a project set roughly 300 years before events depicted in the series, according to Deadline. HBO has already produced another related pilot that takes place thousands of years before "Game of Thrones," starring Naomi Watts. Additional spinoffs of the series were placed in development when HBO learned that "Thrones" would be ending, as the cable network -- like CNN, a unit of WarnerMedia -- sought to retain a connection to its most popular franchise. Martin has periodically kept fans abreast of possible additions to the "Game of Thrones" mythology via his blog.

ANAHEIM, California (CNN) - Kit Harington has been confirmed for a role in Marvel's "The Eternals," bringing the "Game of Thrones" star into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Harington will play Dane Whitman, aka the heroic Black Knight, in the movie. That's not one of the characters known as the Eternals in the comics, which were created by Jack Kirby. Deadline had reported that Harington would be joining the Marvel stable, without any details about in what capacity. Friday, the studio unveiled a lineup of Marvel and "Star Wars"-related series for its streaming service, Disney+.

One of those cast members who would have liked to have seen things end differently is Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark. "I thought Arya would kill Cersei," said Turner. "And I would like to have seen Sansa and Cersei reunited, or Arya and Cersei. Cersei ended up dying in the penultimate episode alongside her twin brother Jaime. Even Lena Headey, who played Cersei, wanted a bigger death for her character.

Executive Creators and Producers of "Game of Thrones", David Benioff, George R. R. Martin and D.B Weiss attend the "Game Of Thrones" Season 8 NY Premiere on April 3, 2019 in New York City. Jeff Kravitz | FilmMagic, Inc | Getty Images"Game of Thrones" showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are leaving HBO for a $200 million paycheck from rival streaming service Netflix. These costs come as Netflix is expected to report $20.2 billion in revenue in 2019, according to analysts surveyed by Refinitiv. "Either [Benioff and Weiss] are the next Steven Spielberg or they are the next Michael Cimino," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.

"Confederate," which would have depicted an alternate universe in which the Confederacy successfully seceded from the Union, is likely dead in the water at HBO now that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have signed a $200 million deal with Netflix. "Confederate" was initially expected to launch in 2018 or 2019, after Benioff and Weiss were done with "Game of Thrones." However, the project was shelved and this new deal between Benioff, Weiss and Netflix likely wipes it off the books completely. Benioff and Weiss have been in high demand after their success with "Game of Thrones."

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The clamor from "Game of Thrones" fans for a do-over of the drama's final season has been in vain. There are few downsides to having a hugely popular show like "Game of Thrones," Bloys said, but one is that fans have strong opinions on what would be a satisfying conclusion. Emmy voters proved unswayed by petitioners demanding a remake: They gave "Game of Thrones" a record-breaking 32 nominations earlier this month. HBO will want to keep the fan fervor alive for the prequel to "Game of Thrones" that's in the works. Asked whether negative reaction to the "Game of Thrones" conclusion will shape the prequel, Bloys replied, "Not at all."

(CNN) - The final season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" was a ratings juggernaut that helped the network receive a record-setting number of Emmy nominations. It was also poorly reviewed by viewers and critics, particularly with regards to the series finale. He said that, despite online petitions suggesting so, HBO has no plans to re-shoot the finale and, frankly he "can't imagine any other network would" either. Bloys also denied that network executives had meddled with the series through copious notes to creators David Benioff and D.B. In response to whether the criticism has changed how HBO will approach its planned prequel to the medieval-style fantasy series, Bloys said, "It has not at all."

HBO's "Game of Thrones" nabbed 32 Emmy nominations on Tuesday the highest of any show in a single year. Despite its success, its showrunners have suffered an unprecedented level of criticism, with more than a million fans signing a petition to have new writers redo the eighth and final season. Weiss have canceled their appearance at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, just two days before the show's highly-anticipated panel. The official "Game of Thrones" Twitter account shared the lineup change Wednesday. SDCC was expected to be the showrunners' first public appearance since the show's finale in May.

Sometimes, in order to get ahead, you need to be your own best advocate. Gwendoline Christie must know that classic piece of career advice, because when HBO did not submit the "Game of Thrones" star for Emmy consideration, she decided to take matters into her own hands and now she's an Emmy-nominated actress. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO, the network behind the massively popular fantasy series, confirmed on Wednesday that it did not submit Christie's name to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to be considered for a 2019 Emmy nomination for her work on the final season of "Game of Thrones," ended its eight-season run in May. Instead, Christie, along with her agents and managers paid her own $225 entry fee to enter herself into the running. What's more, actors Alfie Allen (who played Theon Greyjoy) and Carice van Houten (who played Melisandre) also paid their own entry fees to submit themselves for Emmy consideration, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The cast of "Game of Thrones" now has their eyes on some Emmys -- 32 to be exact. The HBO drama walked away with double-digit Emmy nominations on Tuesday, setting a new record for most nominations earned in a single year by any drama series. This year's nominations included one for best drama and a slew of individual nominations for cast members including Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie. To date, the fantasy series has won 47 Emmys and been nominated 161 times, including this year's nominations. The "Game of Thrones" series finale aired in May, to mixed reviews.

The HBO show earned a record 32 Emmy nominations on Tuesday, including best drama series. Dinklage is the only "Game of Thrones" actor to win an Emmy for his performance in the series.

However, come 2019, the show only received three nods outstanding technical direction, outstanding directing for a comedy series and outstanding multi-camera editing for a comedy series. In fact, the nominees are the same line-up as last year "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

HBO's "Game of Thrones" has slashed its way to a record-setting 32 Emmy nominations Tuesday for its eighth and final season.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images(CNN) - The Emmys usually offer a mix of old and new, but sentimental favorites could be more pronounced at this year's nominations, with "Game of Thrones" defending its crown, "Veep" waging its final campaign and "The Big Bang Theory" having a shot at one last big bang. New series can bring freshness to the awards, even if "The Kominsky Method" brings old pros Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin into play. Wild cards include NBC's quirky "The Good Place," Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Amazon import "Fleabag," and Netflix's "GLOW" and "Russian Doll." In that respect, if the 2019 Emmys feel messier and more disjointed than usual, they might just be a teaser of what's to come. The main Emmy telecast will be held Sept. 22 and televised live by Fox.

Despite his seeming invincibility, the Night King was easily taken down by the show's beloved Arya Stark in a way that some fans criticized. Some fans even started a Change.org petition prior to the series finale demanding HBO re-make the final season.

New species of bee fly named after 'Game of Thrones' characterCANBERRA, Australia - Australian scientists have the thrilling task of naming different species of animals that are found, and this year a species of bee fly was named after a character from "Game of Thrones." The fly is just one of 230 species that the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia has named so far this year. All names have to have a combination of a genus name, which comes first, and a species name. "Xuankun Li, who named the bee fly Paramonovius nightking, is a PhD student at CSIRO and a huge fan of 'Game of Thrones,' proving that inspiration for new species names can come from anywhere," entomologist Dr. Bryan Lessard said in a statement. Other newly named species include a cusk eel named Barathronus algrahami, after fish collection manager Al Graham, and a tiny soldier fly from Judbarra National Park, Northern Territory, named Prosopochrysa lemannae, in honour of insect technician Cate Lemann.

If you were left a little deflated by Cersei Lannister's anticlimactic "Game of Thrones" death, you aren't alone. Actress Lena Headey says she wished her character had gone out a different way too.
