Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s widow Talinda has posted two tweets following a week of attacks from Chester’s ex-wife Samantha. In a long Facebook post last week, Samantha accused Talinda of being ‘evil’ and using his cell phone to call her and Chester’s teenage son Draven. Chester’s Grey Daze bandmate and business partner Sean Dowdell responded by calling Samantha a ‘lying deceitful human’ on Twitter.
Talinda has now written, “June 25, 2017. I will forever stand for us and our family-with dignity and honor for you. I lost you-my best friend, my lover, my heart shortly after this moment.This was us until the end.I miss you. #fuckdepression #makechesterproud.”
She added, “Please remember what I have lost,what my kids have lost. Don’t be cruel or judgmental. I’m human just like you,with feelings too. There are TWO sides to every story. I will never speak out or respond publicly with my “side” of the story out of respect for myself,my husband& kids.”
Talinda has also continued to reach out to Linkin Park fans dealing with depression, which you can see below as well.
