In a video on his Instagram, Jaime Bennington criticized Mike Shinoda, founder of Linkin Park, for bringing in Emily Armstrong as the band’s lead singer in place of his late father Chester Bennington.
“People are not struggling to accept the idea of Linkin Park reinventing itself. They are struggling to understand how you: Hired your longtime friend to replace [Chester],” he said in the video.
Additionally, Jaime also criticized Emily Armstrong for alleged connections to the Church of Scientology and to Danny Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for intimate partner abuse.
“You have betrayed the trust that was lent to you by decades of fans and supporters, including me,” Jaime said.
In July 2017, Chester Bennington took his own life at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 41.
