Will Emily Armstrong’s future with LinkedIn Park be impacted by her interest in science?

As reported by The Daily Beast, it has been revealed that Armstrong has deep ties to The Church of Scientology. According to internal records from the church, the FBI, and former members, Armstrong grew up in a Scientology-run dormitory for š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren known as the Sea Org. Born into the church, her family were also prominent members of Scientology, with her mother Gail working in their ā€œintelligenceā€ unit and writing speeches for the church’s leaders.

When news broke about Armstrong becoming Linkin Park’s new co-lead singer, taking over for the late Chester Bennington, her involvement in the church came under heavy scrutiny. Specifically, many have pointed out her problematic support of Scientologist Danny Masterson (who has been charged with r*ping several women, and is serving 30 years in prison). Armstrong is even being accused of trying to intimidate Masterson’s victims.

One of Masterson’s accusers, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, called out Armstrong, claiming that she was a part of a group of Scientologists that tried to intimidate another one of his victims. Bixler, her husband (musician Cedric Bixler-Zavala), and two other women are suing Masterson and the church, claiming they’ve faced retaliation for speaking out. The Church of Scientology has denied being involved in Masterson’s trial, saying that attendees were simply exercising their right to attend a public hearing. They also have dismissed Bixler’s accusations, and are accusing her of trying to seek money from Masterson and Scientology.

Chester Bennington’s son, Jaime, is one of many who have raised concerns over Armstrong’s involvement in the church. Jaime has very publicly criticized Linkin Park for choosing a Scientologist as their new singer, and has accused them of trying to erase his father’s legacy.

Shortly after it was announced Armstrong would be joining Linkin Park, she released the following statement addressing her support of Masterson:ā€œI wanted to clear the air… Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance… Soon after, I realized I shouldn’t have. I always try to see the good in people, and I misjudged him. I have never spoken with him since… To say it as clearly as possible: I do not condone abuse or violence against women, and I empathize with the victims of these crimes.ā€
