Do you have a source on it being confirmed by the devs? It seems like there was a popular blog post (and a follow-up) which popularized the theory—and I think it's a totally reasonable theory—but I couldn't find any explicit dev commentary on bondage. This is the commentary from Portal 1 that's referenced in the blog post:

GLaDOS, the rogue disk operating system that now runs Aperture Science, went through a bunch of design iterations. Earlier versions included a floating brain, a sprawling, spidery mechanism, and an upside-down version of Botticelli’s Rise of Venus built out of robot parts and wire. Eventually, we settled on a huge mechanical device with a delicate robotic figure dangling out of it, which successfully conveys both GLaDOS’s raw power and her femininity.

I didn't turn up any related interviews, and when I looked through the Portal 2 commentary I couldn't find anything relevant, although I was working off of a YouTube auto transcript rather than the actual text, so I could have verily easily missed something.
