The late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s son Jaime Bennington has exposed more lies about his father’s death.
Jaime took to Instagram to share stories about his father’s passing and revealed some details he would be ‘first to say.’
“I is Jaime. My father, Chester Bennington, did not die the way they said he did,” Jaime recently wrote in the bio of his Instagram account. In addition to this, he shared a bunch of stories to prove it.
“I’ll be the first to say it. Given the recent activities of ‘those closest to Chester’ I would bet that IF Chester’s death was MADE to look like a suicide… Both the HUGO BOSS BELT with which he ‘strangled’ himself and the ALCOHOL found on scene are red herrings,” he said in a story. “If it were true. A skilled magician would have coupled both Chester’s history with ‘caring too much’ and ‘substance abuse’ to create the illusion of a precedent for suicide,” Jaime added in another. “Planted both THE BELT and THE BOTTLES for the purpose of bias confirmation. And then, used his ‘death’ as a natural mechanism for the shaping of international mental health awareness.”
“What THEY would want you to see… A man with a history of substance abuse and suicidal ideation m hangs himself from his closet door with a corporate sponsor’s belt after facing ‘hour-by- hour’ struggle with alcoholism following the death of a close friend and colleague.” He continued in another story, “The absurdity of the scene itself… On Chris Cornell’s birthday, Chester (recently off of his anti- depressants, aggressively lucid, and sober) hangs himself from a closet door he is taller than with a corporate sponsors belt within hours of returning home for an unspecified LINKIN PARK project.”
“I mean… come on. This guy had plans to go to DISNEYLAND with his sister Tobi Bennington only days after his passing,” Jaime concluded.
Since the addition of Emily Armstrong in Linkin Park, Jaime has shared many different comments and claims about the band.
He said earlier that Mike Shinoda secretly ran the band for years after his father’s passing. “The band is not Mike Shinoda’s band. Fort Minor, ‘The Rising Tied,’ ‘Post Traumatic,’ those are Mike’s solo projects,” he explained.
“I’ve antagonistically claimed that ‘Post Traumatic’ is actually a Linkin Park album and that they’ve never stopped Linkin Park — it’s just been undercover for multiple years experimenting with their process and on their audience using techniques that I believe are grooming techniques,” he added.
Jaime isn’t the only disappointed family member when it comes to continuing with a new singer. “I feel like they’re trying very hard to erase the past,” Chester’s mother said in an interview. “They’re performing songs that Chester sang. And I don’t know how the fans are taking it, but I know how I take it. And having [Armstrong] singing my son’s songs is hurtful.”
Shinoda refuted both claims in a show. The rocker explained the situation saying that it was never about erasing the past and it was rather about starting a new chapter into the future.
