My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar’s last proper tweeted was about Emily Armstrong replacing Chester Bennington in Linkin Park. He wrote, “emily armstrong is destroying, shredding faces and making chester proud. she was the perfect choice. AND she had to deal with the initial hate. that shit is hard. trust me. word up.”
Bryar died at 44 years old yesterday.

Former Scientologist Chrissie Carnell Bixler, the wife of The Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Avala, attacked Linkin Park singer Emily Armstrong in September, saying she has ‘no right to fill the shoes of Chester Bennington, a true advocate.’
She then posted several other allegations. Armstrong denounced Danny Masterson in a statement in September.
“Dear Emily,
If you’re not going to speak out against the human and child trafficking cult in which you are apart of and in which you enable by remaining silent on the crimes you know about then you have no right to fill the shoes of Chester
Bennington, a true advocate. I don’t give a fuck that you are very close to the serial rapist. I don’t give a fuck that you lied in your “apology” instagram story. I do care that you participated, after being asked, in the cruel intimidation of Jane Doe 1 with your cult pals at court. I do care that you didn’t once mention that you are a member of a child and human trafficking cult that covers up the abuses and rapes of CHILDREN and adults. I do care that your parents work for OSA (the office of special affairs) of the cult of Scientology which have been ordering attacks on me and my family which includes murdering my dogs in the most inhumane and evil ways. I do care that they have been attacking and harassing my fellow sister survivors. You don’t speak out against
Scientology not because you’re terrified of them.
You don’t speak out because you are one of them. Shame on Linkin Park.”
