Linkin Park reunite 7 years after Chester Bennington's death, with new music
apnews.com
The band kicked off a livestream showcasing new singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, who will join returning members in Linkin Park’s new lineup.

As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

            Did you even read your own link?

            But uh, is Armstrong a Scientologist?

            That’s the big question! Armstrong has never publicly identified with the Church of Scientology, though she did attend a gala in 2013.

            The “evidence” is that she attended a gala over a decade ago? I’m not saying she’s not a scientologist, but a celebrity attending a single event over a decade ago doesn’t make them a member of the group.

              Yes, but you obviously didn’t read the entire article. Multiple Scientologists have come out stating that she was heavily involved in the group, she just wasn’t open about it. She also supported a rapist, also a Scientologist.

              But since not only your research skills are wanting, but also your reading comprehension, I’m done with this conversation. Adios.

            No shit? I’ve clearly not done any research on the internet before typing my comment. There is no way I already read the article you posted. /s

            That said, I’m guessing this is the part of the article you were referring to?

            But uh, is Armstrong a Scientologist?

            That’s the big question! Armstrong has never publicly identified with the Church of Scientology, though she did attend a gala in 2013. More recently, Armstrong supported actor and prominent Scientologist Danny Masterson at his 2020 rape trial, where he was convicted on two counts.

            To summarize, she showed up to a single preliminary court date in 2020, but cut contact after details emerged? She also attended a gala a decade ago where her family was present? That’s not really proof of anything.

              Yes, but it was that she showed up without looking into it because they are in the same cult. Plus multiple Scientologists have come out stating that she was heavily involved in the group, she just wasn’t open about it.

              Sure it’s not the slam dunk that she’s obviously in it, but you’d have to be pretty damn stupid to not be able to come to the obvious conclusion.

              But since not only your research skills are wanting, but also your reading comprehension, I’m done with this conversation. Adios.
