Linkin Park's new vocalist called out as scientologist + Danny Masterson supporter
Well, what a mood whiplash we've been through in the past 24 hours! Initial excitement over Linkin Park's announcement of new music and two new additions to band has immediately gone sour as people have pointed out that the new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, is a member of Scientology and also friend and supporter of convicted rapist Danny Masterson. Apparently she was there at the arraignment and even in hearings.

Chrissie Carnell Bixler, one of the women assaulted by Masterson, has spoken out in the past against Armstrong, and has had some decisive words in an insta about her reveal as a member of Linkin Park:
“@linkinpark ‘s new lead singer is a hardcore Scientologist who supporting convicted serial rapist both in and out of court. Emily Armstrong is a true believer of the Scientology cult/criminal organization that engages in human and child trafficking, child and elder abuse, the coverups of countless SAs on children and adults. Also is a true believer of LRH who said Homosexuals are sexual deviants on the same level as pedophiles and all homosexuals should be sent off to a leper colony. You can read all about Scientologists’ views on LGBT community in Science of Survival or Dianetics.”
Also:
“My husband toured with Soundgarden many times. I’ll never forget Chris Cornell telling a packed stadium that The Mars Volta was his favorite band. Chester Bennington and Linkin Park would always play At The Drive-In songs before going out on stage. Chester was a child SA survivor. Chester and Chris had a beautiful bond and I’m told shared a common goal to fight human and child trafficking. Scientology is a human and child trafficking organization protected by a 501(c)3 granted under the Clinton Administration. Linkin Park just replaced Chester with a hardcore 2nd generation Scientologist. REST IN PEACE.”
A year ago her husband, Cedric Bixler-Savala of The Mars Volta, posted the following on the Instagram of Dead Sara, which Armstrong is part of:
“I’m surprised none of you wrote a letter on Danny Mastersons behalf since your corny ass singer showed up to support him in the prelims. Remember Emily? Remember how your fellow scientologist goon squad surrounded one of the Jane Doe’s when she was trying to leave the elevators? The court sheriffs had to escort her away from your awful cult. Remember when we did the purification run down Emily? Were you directed to safe point me cuz of what my wife knew? Why can’t you shut your mouth during a detox program where people are going through some rough shit but your corny ass is singing like an unsupervised child? Is it cuz you’re a born in scientologist that gets a pass? How do you reconcile the homophobia found in the teachings of LRH’s book dianetics? Do your fans know about your friend Danny Masterson? Your rapist friend.”

ONTD, what are some female voices in rock and metal that I can throw some support towards? Since Linkin Park have sadly shown they don't deserve it.
