Ex-Scientologists Cedric Bixler-Zavala and his wife (and survivor of Danny Masterson), Chrissie Carnell Bixler, continued their calling out of new Linkin Park vocalist Emily Armstrong for her ties to the Church of Scientology, and that organization's alleged role in the harassment and intimidation of the survivors of Masterson’s crimes.
Carnell Bixler stated via Instagram:
“Dear Emily, If you’re not going to speak out against the human and child trafficking cult in which you are a part of and in which you enable by remaining silent on the crimes you know about then you have no right to fill the shoes of Chester Bennington, a true advocate. I don’t give a fuck that you are very close to the serial rapist. I don’t give a fukc that you lied in your “apology” instagram story. I do care that you participated, after being asked, in the cruel intimidation of Jane Doe 1 with your cult pals at court. I do care that you didn’t once mention that you are a member of a child and human trafficking cult that covers up the abuses and rapes of CHILDREN and adults. I do care that your parents work for OSA (the office of special affairs) of the cult of Scientology which have been ordering attacks on me and my family which includes murdering my dogs in the most inhumane and evil ways. I do care that they have been attacking and harassing my fellow sister survivors. You don’t speak out against Scientology not because you’re terrified of them. You don’t speak out because you are one of them. Shame on Linkin Park. Fuck you.”
Bixler-Zavala followed up with his own statement:
“Emily, did you know that your friend Chris Wadhams and Danny would drive by one of the Jane Does very slowly, after a fucked up day of cross examinations, and follow her in their car, staring at her trying to intimidate her? I do. Did you know that Alana Masterson would hide in the bathrooms after one of the Jane Does had a massive panic attack on the stand and proceeded to harass her in the bathroom calling her a liar? What, you didn’t hear about that? Did your parents shield you from that? Your OSA parents. Or were you cool with that? Doesn’t your church call that the fair game policy? Weren’t you just hanging out with Nasal Queef herself, (Bijoux Phillips) just a couple of days ago? Oh wait, she’s ok now because she divorced Danny? She sure had a grand ol’ time reading my wife’s police report in a mocking post. Remember how she screamed when they took Danny away? I bath[e] in that moment every single fucking day. Careful homegirl, that Phillips curse is contagious, just read Mackenzie Phillips[‘] book. You should also read up on that fucking dingbat Bijoux’s past behavior. That is of course if the church allows you to read about her. They do have a policy about reading anything critical of the church and its members. Your church also has a bad snitching culture where u write knowledge reports on fellow members who are not “following” the teachings of L Ron Hubbard. Just like the East German stassi imposed on its citizens. That’s your church? Today is the one year anniversary of having put that shit bag you thought was a “good guy” in jail. You can’t even say sorry to the Jane Does properly, huh? Your apology is worded as if you hired some PR crisis team to help you. As for you Linkin Park, you should fire your entire team for not thoroughly vetting your choice. You’re a Disney level brand trying to make a comeback and you didn’t think to spend a little money on looking into her? Sotp playing at the drive in’s music on your pre show playlist.”
The statements shared from both Chrissie Carnell Bixler and Cedric Bixler-Zavala represent deeper allegations of Armstrong’s more embedded ties to Scientology, and of her own personal alleged harassment of an anonymous survivor of Danny Masterson, which is at odds with Armstrong’s public statement regarding her relationship to Masterson and to the trial. As many may or not know, it is very difficult to dig through the Church of Scientology’s past activities due to the secrecy of the organization and its alleged efforts to keep former members from speaking out. You can find further details on the controversies of scientology and its members through a lot of archived and current reporting, including this 1991 report from Time (available from the Internet Archive) and the from the New Yorker.
