Chester Bennington’s son Jaime calls out Mike Shinoda after the addition of Emily Armstrong to Linkin Park and claims he has “quietly erased my father’s life and legacy”
Mike was an asshole to me when I was a child, and I’ll never forget that. Chester and his wife at the time were the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Seeing the choices Mike has made in light of Chester’s death makes me realize there has been no growth there.
Given Chester was a victim of CSA, to hire a woman that not only supported a rapist on trial but is a Scientologist? Jesus. Chester and his family deserve better than this.

I get they had to make difficult decisions regarding the bands future after Chester’s death but… did Mike really not think there was gonna be backlash from this? Especially since that info was so public and easily found

I already said I was done with them, but at this point even if they were to change their minds on Emily, I’m still done. Tough thing to say as an Elder Millennial who was obsessed with them before they got big.

Ummm, unless the band is recalling/destroying the existing recordings the kid’s father’s legacy is fine

What a 180: a privileged kid hating Linkin Park and focusing on their father instead!
