Chris Cornell’s mother-in-law accuses Kim Thayil of BETRAYAL, says Cornell may not have died like reported.
Chris Cornell’s mother-in-law Toni wrote new allegations on Instagram, as edited for clarity, “What made me think for the first time… 🤔 Is it possible that the ones who would never cross your mind… are the ones? Chris was happy, wasn’t he? And second — the way they said it happened, it just didn’t seem like something he would do. Not like that. Not when you really look at the details…
Next? How fast Martin was thrown in — suddenly side by side with the tour manager and befriending him? It happened so fast… but not during the tour. And the very next thing? Before Chris’s funeral, I saw a small Seattle clique pull together — tight — within hours. A couple of days at most. Suddenly acknowledging people they hadn’t spoken to in years, embracing them like lifelong best friends. One for all, and all for one.
Kim Thayil seemed to become the spokesperson, yet he ignored everything Chris stood for. He made decisions for Chris that Chris never would’ve allowed. Then there was that interview with X, right away — completely ignoring the family Chris was so proud of. Like his daughter Toni, for one. Speaking out publicly against Vicky, posing for pictures with the X. Leaving the underage kids out entirely. Sending a message about who they approved of — as if it was up to them who Chris married? Clowns.
And it backfired — big time. That’s what happens to losers.
It makes you wonder — why didn’t they turn back for Chris, like so many other musicians have done for their fans when tragedy strikes? Why did Kim and the rest ignore the fans in such a cold, dismissive way?
People started noticing. And not just the fans… nothing added up. Every piece pointed in their direction — and begged for answers. But they never gave them.
Now we all see why: betrayal, disrespect, and envy.”
