Honestly, I don't care about if she (Emily Armstrong) is scientology or what.. I can turn off all those bs and just listen to LP.. No bias.. Music is music.. She is not even trying to replace Chester (RIP).. No one can.. But she is just trying to be herself.. I listened to their new album, and it rocks.. I can say that LP is back with a bang, baby.. And I'm so stoked that they're back.. More power to them..
@@titanfighter12 Even if all the allegations against Emily are true (mainly her still being a Scientologist and having intimidated the victims at the hearing), she's still not 1/1,000,000 as evil as Ian Watkins is, and it's disgusting that you'd make that comparison.
I’m willing to bet that the people who are whining about Emily all have purchased movies and music from artists who are in Scientology. I’m willing to bet they are all full of 💩. Scientology members are all over the entertainment industry.
Tom Cruise, Jon Travolta, Giovanni Ribisi, Nancy Cartwright, and Danny Masterson. People still love Mission Impossible, Top Gun, That 70s Show, and The Simpsons. Unlike Danny, Emily NEVER used her platform to talk about Scientology. Most celebrity members are very vocal about it, especially Tom Cruise. She wants to play music. Her mother is probably very controlling of her because of her high-ranking position in the cult-like religion, and when I say “her high-ranking,” I'm referring to Gail, her mother. I've learned a lot about her personal life because of the “Growing Up With Scientology” YT channel, and say what you want about Aaron, he's doing a great job spreading awareness
@@SleeplessMommaIf she is, she doesn't talk about it publicly. The last related event that doesn't include the Danny Masterson hearing was a gala in 2013. There's a picture of her with Cedric Bixler-Zavala (the Mars Volta singer). Other than that, she just wants to talk about music.
I cannot describe how much I do not give a shit what she believes in. She sounds great and that is all that matters. People are constantly looking for something to be pissed off about.
the problem is that a lot of her alleged faith DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS everything Chester believed in. Scientology pretty much believes mental health disorders literally aren't real, which is a big part of what this band sings about, and also is why Chester isnt here with us anymore. I personally don't believe that Emily is currently a Scientologist considering shes openly lesbian which is absolutely taboo in Scientology and some of her Dead Sara lyrics and the lyrics in some of the new songs sound pretty anti-Scientology, although i dont doubt she was at some point in the past, but its a valid thing for people to be upset about.
@thekneecapthief2860 no it's not valid, because Emily sees a therapist, has performed in a mental health awareness event hosted by Talinda Bennington, has had multiple interviews talking about the importance of mental health. If people spend 5 minutes researching, they'll find all of that out, instead some of them are too lazy and prefer to spread misinformation.
Im sorry but this is kinda getting old but lets get some things straight all religion stuff aside when it comes to the court proceedings there is zero chance that she didnt know what he was facing prison time for! In fact they will not let you speak unless they know that you know what the case is about! Most usually the judge will ask you directly before you even speak. So trying to act like she didnt know until after is pretty disingenuous at best! She knew full well why he was there! Personally I feel bad for the children that grow up in these kinds of cult like religions but at the end of the day she was an adult when she tried to defend her friend in court no matter the religion! But whats done is done like her hate her whatever but lets move on she is the singer its happening! Personally glad to see a whole new generation get to experience Linkin Park and perhaps even bring some folks together!
I was at their amazing concert in Paris, at La Defense Arena, and it was packed. I never got to see LP live before, so this was like a dream come true for me. I had such a great time, as did the band it would seem. I am going to one of their shows next year again 100%.
Yeah I have some issues with this new album like it’s too short for a Linkin Park album and it lacks a few more rockers, it has a few tracks that I like but it’s a 5.5/10 for me, Mid
This channel just loves to report stories with drama. Or twist the words around of what people say. How about report on how bands go over seas and show the success these bands have playing in countries they’ve never been to. You never report on anything positive.
Well I don't think Amanda released an "apology," as you say. She released a statement in which she claimed she did nothing wrong, and I agree with her. Masterson was just a friend to whom she extended the courtesy of assuming his innocence, and she went to one hearing to show support for her friend and she found the case against him was strong and she never showed support for him again. She did nothing wrong.
Nope, she didn't write any statement, it was written by her PR-Agent, just like the statement by JB that got posted after Kyle wished for Trump to get murdered.
At first I was not on her side, but you have to take into consideration of the fact that she was born into Scientology, she had no control over that. And now knowing the rules of Scientology, I can't be mad at her. Scientology is terrible because it destroys families.
All I'm saying is that Emily's eyes look so lost,empty and glossy in every picture....... pray for her ... I don't even care about the band anymore just pray for her
I feel horrible for her. She was indoctrinated as a little kid in the Cadet program. Her mother should be ashamed of herself! If she wasn't 2nd-generation she would NOT be a Scientologist.
It was probably a better idea to not cover this man. People finally were slowly moving on and Emily is getting her shine finally. Bringing this up now is just going to repeat history. 🥲
WHO CARES? This is why we can't have nice things. Unless Emily's last name is Lambisis, let's move on. People that aren't in Linkin Park want to make shit about them and their stupid feelings. The new album represents a new era. Not replacing Chester's legacy.....honoring it and moving forward. 7 years was long enough. This narrative is nothing new.....let it die.
There’s a lot more things going on in the world and everybody is worried about someone who was born into Scientology lol Why not look into people’s past that actually matter today and affect the music industry like Anthony from Red Hot Chili Peppers being a predator/pedophile. Nobody is talking about how he got away with that lol
Linkin Park album tierlist: 11. The Hunting Party 10. Recharged 9. One More Light 8. Minutes to Midnight 7. A Thousand Suns 6. From Zero 5. Living Things 4. Collision Course 3. Reanimation 2. Hybrid Theory 1. Meteora
Congratulations to Emily and the rest of Linkin Park on all the success. Much deserved! She's a talented singer, and the album is great. Nothing but peace, love, and positivity on this side. 🙏🏾💯
What i actually want to see a explanation of, is why this people think that Emily needs to be held personally responsible for the actions of a church she had no choice in being affiliated with. She doesn't have to justify or explain shit about the actions of other people. Not the Church, not people in the church, not someone who lied to her, not even her own mother. Let her live her life. Unless she is personally out there harassing people, she has done nothing wrong.
Seriously, what is this? The only new information is about her relatives but doesn't speak to Emily herself. Just rehashing old information because the album dropped
Hmm...old news and done with..honestly i didn't and dont giv a flying f@&% about what a person believes. 1 she made a mistake about supporting Masterson and was open about it ✅️ 2 Chesters mom, ehm yeah righttt, don't open that can of worms, just don't. 3 Move on lad and Enjoy Linkin Park 🤘😎🎩
I wish people would stop judging folks so harshly. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent in this world. Y’all disgust me. No, I don’t defend Emily. I’m defending making mistakes and trying to move on from them. But you folks won’t let it go. Those without sin cast the first stone.
The band don’t owe Chester’s family anything. That was Chester’s life, not theirs, they are just related to someone who was famous for being with that band.
Honestly, I dont care. Let the girl have a music career in peace I don’t see people saying that Tom Cruise is an active high ranking member and apparently has done shady things. There’s a few actors and musicians who are active members and no one gives a shit about them but people are suddenly against a woman who was BORN INTO it… 🙄
EXACTLY! It's prety wild how nobody seems to care when grown ass adults join a cult, including that Mars Volta guy apparently, but HEAVEN FORBID someone is born into is and seems to not actually be an active participant as an adult.
I had family who grew up in a cult. You need to not be judgemental to those who grow up in it rather than convert. Otherwise they treat the cult as a safety net. It's a big ask to get her to blacklist herself from her family to satisfy people who probably never listened to anything after minutes to midnight until chester died anyway. She has more to lose in her personal life than she has to gain by speaking out.
I'm here to listen to music, not care about religious crap. All religions are crap. You don't need religion to be a good person. So judge a person by their actions and how they better themselves and treat others.
Scientology is all over hollywood. It also controls and maintains power all throughout the world. I trust mike shinoda and am willing to get emily a chance. Emily need not answer to anyone about her private life. She makes music nothing more, nothing less. Love and miss chester, but he is far from an angel of heaven. LP will continue to make music.
I love and hate all this RUclips channels commenting about her scientology ties. but they dont have a problem with tom cruise or John Travolta being one. and I bet people in this comment section watch tom cruise movies. its weird.
@@punkskaterpizza Facts. Some keyboard warrior literally just told me off because I tried to share my own perspective on this case. People get cancelled for less. Until we see worse from Emily, I have no reason to boycott her nor Linkin Park
Religion is religion, every religion has a couple of bad seeds. it’s actually not her fault, her parents were top Scientologist, so she was practically born into it. if you really dissect her lyrics, she is disillusioned with the church.
Everything points to Scientology not being something she actively chose to be involved with, but something that was forced upon her at a young age, and something that persistently clashed with her true passions. I think Emily deserves to be given a chance like anyone else, now more than ever seems like there might be a path for her to get out of the cult, and I won't fault her for not being outspoken about it since she has so much personal, family stuff at stake.
I see this, and my first thing is, "So?" As other commenters have said, it's not like she's promoting it with her life. She's a vocalist of LP. It's called private life, as that's exactly where it needs to stay. I don't give a rat's azz about this nonsense, unless she started pushing it on everyone. But, again, it seems she's not for it, so leave her TF alone about it and enjoy the music. But, it seems some are just too miserable to let anyone be happy.
Most haters have already made up their mind because ultimately they don't want Linkin Park to ever make music again because Chester made his selfish decision. However I want to say: it's important to note how much of this nonsense controversy is outside Emily's control. Emily doesn't get to choose who her parents are, where she was born, what religion her family was involved in when she was a child, and therefore what her understanding of the world was before she was an adult. She had no control over any of that. She admitted she *went to court* in support of Danny Masterson. She had no idea what he had done. She only knew him as a "friend" and we don't even fully know how well that means she knew him as given their age difference she was most likely a child when she knew him as a friend. This does not mean she supported him while he was doing horrible things. This was most likely a complete shock to her, and she realized what this was far too late- which makes complete sense. She distanced herself once she realized what was happening. Nothing in her apology, whether you find it to be enough of an apology or not, indicates otherwise. Lastly: if she *is* "still getting audited"- thereby still being in Scienology- you can only speculate as to why. You don't know her reasons for that. Leaving Scientology has huge repercussions on the cult members lives. She would literally have to give up her entire family, maybe friends, maybe others. No contact ever again. How is it on you to ask her to do that? How she deals with that is on her. It's none of anyone else's business. My conclusion: leave her alone. She did nothing wrong, and this whole controversy is complete bull meant to drag her down because ultimately certain people don't want her to sing for Linkin Park, don't want Linkin Park to move on and continue playing music, and some of it is scientology propaganda. I can't choose for you what to believe, but people should really consider the facts before jumping on the hate train. Real life is much more complicated.
None of this bothers me. At first it did, but there are some bands with members that have done worse. This is beyond her control. Plus, how many people watch Mission Impossible, Top Gun, That 70s Show, and The Simpsons. ALL of those shows and movies have Scientologists in them.
I think that you made a video covering this topic already, featuring some of the same quotes. I think that you saw the response to the tour announcement and the initial streaming numbers for the new album and decided to make another video, implying that something new had been discovered, because you saw an opportunity to to ride Linkin Park’s name for views and engagement now that their name is huge in the mainstream again for the first time since 2017. I think your coverage is disingenuous, and I think you don’t actually personally care about the issues at hand.
Haven't you already talked about this months ago? Bands replace singers all the time, even after a lead as great as Chester has passed. I think people will find anything to hate on Emily, because of their dedication to Chester and I get that. For me, I recognize that bands replace their leads after a member dies, quits or is fired. I do not get why people are so upset about LP doing the same, especially since LP was started by Mike.
Uncovered?!?!?! It's always been known and it's one of the first things people started bringing up again when she was announced as the new singer.

Honestly, I don't care about if she (Emily Armstrong) is scientology or what.. I can turn off all those bs and just listen to LP.. No bias.. Music is music.. She is not even trying to replace Chester (RIP).. No one can.. But she is just trying to be herself.. I listened to their new album, and it rocks.. I can say that LP is back with a bang, baby.. And I'm so stoked that they're back.. More power to them..
@@parzivalzero81 so you can just listen to lost prophets no problem?
Yes🤘
@titanfighter12 right. And Chester was killed for uncovering human trafficking.
the whole separate art from the artist is stupid imo. would you still listen to lost prophets? or have hitlers painting on your walls?
@@titanfighter12 Even if all the allegations against Emily are true (mainly her still being a Scientologist and having intimidated the victims at the hearing), she's still not 1/1,000,000 as evil as Ian Watkins is, and it's disgusting that you'd make that comparison.
I’m willing to bet that the people who are whining about Emily all have purchased movies and music from artists who are in Scientology. I’m willing to bet they are all full of 💩. Scientology members are all over the entertainment industry.
Tom Cruise, Jon Travolta, Giovanni Ribisi, Nancy Cartwright, and Danny Masterson. People still love Mission Impossible, Top Gun, That 70s Show, and The Simpsons. Unlike Danny, Emily NEVER used her platform to talk about Scientology. Most celebrity members are very vocal about it, especially Tom Cruise. She wants to play music. Her mother is probably very controlling of her because of her high-ranking position in the cult-like religion, and when I say “her high-ranking,” I'm referring to Gail, her mother. I've learned a lot about her personal life because of the “Growing Up With Scientology” YT channel, and say what you want about Aaron, he's doing a great job spreading awareness
@ Right! I have yet to see any proof whatsoever that she is an active member or promotes Scientology in any way. I have seen nothing.
@@SleeplessMommaIf she is, she doesn't talk about it publicly. The last related event that doesn't include the Danny Masterson hearing was a gala in 2013. There's a picture of her with Cedric Bixler-Zavala (the Mars Volta singer). Other than that, she just wants to talk about music.
I went outside and went for a walk. Still didn’t find any effs to give.
I cannot describe how much I do not give a shit what she believes in.
She sounds great and that is all that matters.
People are constantly looking for something to be pissed off about.
the problem is that a lot of her alleged faith DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS everything Chester believed in. Scientology pretty much believes mental health disorders literally aren't real, which is a big part of what this band sings about, and also is why Chester isnt here with us anymore. I personally don't believe that Emily is currently a Scientologist considering shes openly lesbian which is absolutely taboo in Scientology and some of her Dead Sara lyrics and the lyrics in some of the new songs sound pretty anti-Scientology, although i dont doubt she was at some point in the past, but its a valid thing for people to be upset about.
@ I’m aware of that, I personally believe she doesn’t but the fact that it’s uncertain is why this discussion is still happening
@thekneecapthief2860 no it's not valid, because Emily sees a therapist, has performed in a mental health awareness event hosted by Talinda Bennington, has had multiple interviews talking about the importance of mental health.
If people spend 5 minutes researching, they'll find all of that out, instead some of them are too lazy and prefer to spread misinformation.
@thekneecapthief2860EXACTLY!!
@@thepolacek true. As I said I'm a firm believer in separating the art from the artist
Last to the party, check

Peaple skipping right to comments to tell you , we are ready heard it all and are over it check.
Im sorry but this is kinda getting old but lets get some things straight all religion stuff aside when it comes to the court proceedings there is zero chance that she didnt know what he was facing prison time for! In fact they will not let you speak unless they know that you know what the case is about! Most usually the judge will ask you directly before you even speak. So trying to act like she didnt know until after is pretty disingenuous at best! She knew full well why he was there! Personally I feel bad for the children that grow up in these kinds of cult like religions but at the end of the day she was an adult when she tried to defend her friend in court no matter the religion! But whats done is done like her hate her whatever but lets move on she is the singer its happening! Personally glad to see a whole new generation get to experience Linkin Park and perhaps even bring some folks together!
She did not choose the family into which she was born and raised in this cult. Why should she pay for her parent's mistakes? Welcome, Emily.
Facts!
Does that mean she can’t leave the cult? No it doesn’t not.
She can, and maybe she will. None of us know what it means to not have a choice from childhood.
@@JediShoalinVigilanteHow? Her mother is high-ranked. She works closely with David Miscavige. If she leaves she could be in danger.
@@arcadeguy781So many members have publicly left and the cult never punished them for it.
Focus on the music...
Not a single one of us is perfect...
The family might be mad for royalty issues....
This world is gone mad
I was at their amazing concert in Paris, at La Defense Arena, and it was packed. I never got to see LP live before, so this was like a dream come true for me. I had such a great time, as did the band it would seem. I am going to one of their shows next year again 100%.
The band don’t owe Chester’s family anything. That was Chester’s life, not theirs, they are just related to someone who became famous.
Yeah I have some issues with this new album like it’s too short for a Linkin Park album and it lacks a few more rockers, it has a few tracks that I like but it’s a 5.5/10 for me, Mid
This channel just loves to report stories with drama. Or twist the words around of what people say. How about report on how bands go over seas and show the success these bands have playing in countries they’ve never been to. You never report on anything positive.
I wish more people had this real view on this channel. I see the same thing 💯
Well I don't think Amanda released an "apology," as you say. She released a statement in which she claimed she did nothing wrong, and I agree with her. Masterson was just a friend to whom she extended the courtesy of assuming his innocence, and she went to one hearing to show support for her friend and she found the case against him was strong and she never showed support for him again. She did nothing wrong.
Nope, she didn't write any statement, it was written by her PR-Agent, just like the statement by JB that got posted after Kyle wished for Trump to get murdered.
At first I was not on her side, but you have to take into consideration of the fact that she was born into Scientology, she had no control over that. And now knowing the rules of Scientology, I can't be mad at her. Scientology is terrible because it destroys families.
@@GangstalkingClips Did you know BECK left scientology publicly?
@@GangstalkingClips facts
Ya she doesn't wanna speak out cuz they will harass her but if she doesn't then fans harass ..poor lady 😊
@@Bls-of1ld We don't want that to happen. I'm 99% certain that Mike knows. He's like a big brother to her.
Idc, I still stand with Emily Armstrong. She’s great and a perfect fit.
There is pretty much 0 new information in this article.
What do you mean uncovered??? Everybody knew
What is this Rock Feed? You got nothing new?
All I'm saying is that Emily's eyes look so lost,empty and glossy in every picture....... pray for her ... I don't even care about the band anymore just pray for her
I feel horrible for her. She was indoctrinated as a little kid in the Cadet program. Her mother should be ashamed of herself! If she wasn't 2nd-generation she would NOT be a Scientologist.
@arcadeguy781 😳That's horrible😔
New is a stretch
You’re really bringing this shit up again everyone already knew it. Let it the fuck go.
It was probably a better idea to not cover this man. People finally were slowly moving on and Emily is getting her shine finally. Bringing this up now is just going to repeat history. 🥲
WHO CARES? This is why we can't have nice things. Unless Emily's last name is Lambisis, let's move on. People that aren't in Linkin Park want to make shit about them and their stupid feelings. The new album represents a new era. Not replacing Chester's legacy.....honoring it and moving forward. 7 years was long enough. This narrative is nothing new.....let it die.
There’s a lot more things going on in the world and everybody is worried about someone who was born into Scientology lol Why not look into people’s past that actually matter today and affect the music industry like Anthony from Red Hot Chili Peppers being a predator/pedophile. Nobody is talking about how he got away with that lol
I love rockfeed, but on this topic has failed from day 1
😂 brought this up again?i thought this was old news people still digging
Trying to erase the past, and singing the old songs in one sentence is craaaazy 😂

Congratulations to Emily and the rest of Linkin Park on all the success. Much deserved! She's a talented singer, and the album is great. Nothing but peace, love, and positivity on this side. 🙏🏾💯
What i actually want to see a explanation of, is why this people think that Emily needs to be held personally responsible for the actions of a church she had no choice in being affiliated with. She doesn't have to justify or explain shit about the actions of other people. Not the Church, not people in the church, not someone who lied to her, not even her own mother. Let her live her life. Unless she is personally out there harassing people, she has done nothing wrong.
Seriously, what is this? The only new information is about her relatives but doesn't speak to Emily herself. Just rehashing old information because the album dropped
If they had renamed the band, played a cover or two here and there, but did mainly new music, I don’t think fans would be as upset.
Hmm...old news and done with..honestly i didn't and dont giv a flying f@&% about what a person believes.
1 she made a mistake about supporting Masterson and was open about it ✅️
2 Chesters mom, ehm yeah righttt, don't open that can of worms, just don't.
3 Move on lad and Enjoy Linkin Park 🤘😎🎩
I wish people would stop judging folks so harshly.
Everyone is guilty until proven innocent in this world.
Y’all disgust me.
No, I don’t defend Emily. I’m defending making mistakes and trying to move on from them.
But you folks won’t let it go.
Those without sin cast the first stone.

If rockfeed is supporting emily armstrong i will never support rockfeed again

The band don’t owe Chester’s family anything. That was Chester’s life, not theirs, they are just related to someone who was famous for being with that band.
Honestly, I dont care. Let the girl have a music career in peace
I don’t see people saying that Tom Cruise is an active high ranking member and apparently has done shady things. There’s a few actors and musicians who are active members and no one gives a shit about them but people are suddenly against a woman who was BORN INTO it… 🙄
EXACTLY! It's prety wild how nobody seems to care when grown ass adults join a cult, including that Mars Volta guy apparently, but HEAVEN FORBID someone is born into is and seems to not actually be an active participant as an adult.
@@lunallenadeardillaroja598 well said
I like that the band reunited and continue their story. What I dont like is their now-scientology-singer.
I had family who grew up in a cult. You need to not be judgemental to those who grow up in it rather than convert. Otherwise they treat the cult as a safety net. It's a big ask to get her to blacklist herself from her family to satisfy people who probably never listened to anything after minutes to midnight until chester died anyway. She has more to lose in her personal life than she has to gain by speaking out.
Plus she is also same sex attracted so I don't think calling her out for Scientology homophobia carries weight.
BECK SPOKE OUT PUBLICLY & LEFT SCIENTOLOGY 🎉
@@nickdavis6676 Im pinning this on her mother. Not Emily. None of this is her fault.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala was also a member of.. (checks notes)… Scientology. 🤨
I'm here to listen to music, not care about religious crap. All religions are crap. You don't need religion to be a good person. So judge a person by their actions and how they better themselves and treat others.
Milking the topic until it's last drop eh, rock feed lol
Good.
Uncovered!!!?? Old news... Nobody seems to care.. as usual
Scientology is all over hollywood. It also controls and maintains power all throughout the world. I trust mike shinoda and am willing to get emily a chance. Emily need not answer to anyone about her private life. She makes music nothing more, nothing less. Love and miss chester, but he is far from an angel of heaven. LP will continue to make music.
She is second gen and you are surprised?
@@alexgreentea771 If Emily was not a second-generation Scientologist, she would not be one.
You clearly know nothing about scientology
I love and hate all this RUclips channels commenting about her scientology ties. but they dont have a problem with tom cruise or John Travolta being one. and I bet people in this comment section watch tom cruise movies. its weird.
You're two months behind, my dude.
Automatically weird in my book …
Why can't we just let this woman have a music career dude.
Because of cancel Karens
Preach man they ever leave her the hell alone
Because terminally online virtue signalers need a way to feel superior.
I'm sure the victims that she gaslighted just wanted to recover from being raped.
@@punkskaterpizza Facts. Some keyboard warrior literally just told me off because I tried to share my own perspective on this case. People get cancelled for less. Until we see worse from Emily, I have no reason to boycott her nor Linkin Park
Why is this being brought up again
World Tour seems to always only be USA and Europe.
No Asia or Latin America?
@ there we go
Many months too late on ths one
Religion is religion, every religion has a couple of bad seeds. it’s actually not her fault, her parents were top Scientologist, so she was practically born into it. if you really dissect her lyrics, she is disillusioned with the church.
EXACTLY!!!!!!! I blame her mother since her father passed away
It's not a religion, it's a cult
Every religion can have colts too.
@@123theprodigy5 not all religions are cults, but scientology is a cult. But all religions can have colts and horses.
That’s unfortunate, if you think about it, Scientology is kind of young compared to other religions.
Everything points to Scientology not being something she actively chose to be involved with, but something that was forced upon her at a young age, and something that persistently clashed with her true passions. I think Emily deserves to be given a chance like anyone else, now more than ever seems like there might be a path for her to get out of the cult, and I won't fault her for not being outspoken about it since she has so much personal, family stuff at stake.
Right to the comments 😂😂😂
I see this, and my first thing is, "So?" As other commenters have said, it's not like she's promoting it with her life. She's a vocalist of LP. It's called private life, as that's exactly where it needs to stay. I don't give a rat's azz about this nonsense, unless she started pushing it on everyone. But, again, it seems she's not for it, so leave her TF alone about it and enjoy the music. But, it seems some are just too miserable to let anyone be happy.
Most haters have already made up their mind because ultimately they don't want Linkin Park to ever make music again because Chester made his selfish decision. However I want to say: it's important to note how much of this nonsense controversy is outside Emily's control.
Emily doesn't get to choose who her parents are, where she was born, what religion her family was involved in when she was a child, and therefore what her understanding of the world was before she was an adult. She had no control over any of that.
She admitted she *went to court* in support of Danny Masterson. She had no idea what he had done. She only knew him as a "friend" and we don't even fully know how well that means she knew him as given their age difference she was most likely a child when she knew him as a friend. This does not mean she supported him while he was doing horrible things. This was most likely a complete shock to her, and she realized what this was far too late- which makes complete sense. She distanced herself once she realized what was happening. Nothing in her apology, whether you find it to be enough of an apology or not, indicates otherwise.
Lastly: if she *is* "still getting audited"- thereby still being in Scienology- you can only speculate as to why. You don't know her reasons for that. Leaving Scientology has huge repercussions on the cult members lives. She would literally have to give up her entire family, maybe friends, maybe others. No contact ever again. How is it on you to ask her to do that? How she deals with that is on her. It's none of anyone else's business.
My conclusion: leave her alone. She did nothing wrong, and this whole controversy is complete bull meant to drag her down because ultimately certain people don't want her to sing for Linkin Park, don't want Linkin Park to move on and continue playing music, and some of it is scientology propaganda.
I can't choose for you what to believe, but people should really consider the facts before jumping on the hate train. Real life is much more complicated.
None of this bothers me. At first it did, but there are some bands with members that have done worse. This is beyond her control. Plus, how many people watch Mission Impossible, Top Gun, That 70s Show, and The Simpsons. ALL of those shows and movies have Scientologists in them.
Dont really care for the new music anyway. LP fell off with this one.
I think that you made a video covering this topic already, featuring some of the same quotes. I think that you saw the response to the tour announcement and the initial streaming numbers for the new album and decided to make another video, implying that something new had been discovered, because you saw an opportunity to to ride Linkin Park’s name for views and engagement now that their name is huge in the mainstream again for the first time since 2017.
I think your coverage is disingenuous, and I think you don’t actually personally care about the issues at hand.
If you don't like him you'll hate Aaron (Growing Up With Scientology)
I love the new lineup. Emily kicking ass and taking names. She is such a BADASS!!
Rock on Emily and Linkin Park.
😂😂
Haven't you already talked about this months ago? Bands replace singers all the time, even after a lead as great as Chester has passed. I think people will find anything to hate on Emily, because of their dedication to Chester and I get that. For me, I recognize that bands replace their leads after a member dies, quits or is fired. I do not get why people are so upset about LP doing the same, especially since LP was started by Mike.
So what...l
Let her rock out with LP without any complaints. Her beliefs and attendance to a hearing shouldn't C@CK Block her from LP.
Her backround only started to matter the moment she joined LP. If its her past and not her anymore then let it go already.
Why wouldn’t they just create a new band instead of saying it’s something it isnt
