Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s niece Alyssa has appeared to react to Chester’s sister Tobi’s tweets criticizing Mike Shinoda.
Alyssa Morse tweeted, “Lol false news.”
Tobi Bennington unloaded on Shinoda on Saturday, writing on Twitter, “Watching everyone talk about my brother and Mike has been causing me to have anxiety attacks and it feels cruel at times. I’m sorry for the pain this will cause. I need to take the bandage off. I pray you will support me. ???”
“This does hurt and I’m sorry. The focus needs to be on LP as a whole. Not as separate relationships. As a whole, LP had a solid bond. Individually this was not the case. I can’t pretend any longer. ?”
“Individually they were not all ‘brothers’ but as for LP, that was a brotherhood. They were not best friends. Knowing how Mike treated my brother… It wasn’t kind. For the sake of LP they maintained a united front. And it worked but now the lie needs to stop. ?”
“It’s only slander if it’s not true. And I know what I’m talking about is the truth. ?”
“For the good of the order, LP was a unified brotherhood. The same cannot be said for individual relationships. The two of them were not best friends. ?”
“Insincere actions and saccharine sweet words. I was too traumatized then to speak up. Honestly, I thought the charade was over but he only spoke louder. He was rewarded for his “pain.” And now the charade is growing and it needs to stop. ?”
She later deleted her Twitter account. Chester Bennington tweeted in 2014, “Of course I love Mike. He’s one of my closest friends. He’s a genius and he’s a great person. What’s not to love?”
Chester Bennington died by suicide in July 2017. You can visit 320 Changes Direction for mental health resources.
