JAKARTA - The introduction of Emily Armstrong as Linkin Park's new vocalist was greeted with one eye by several fans. They have their own reasons not to approve of Emily's joining.

Apart from the musical factors that seem inappropriate, Emily's background is also busy in the spotlight. He is associated with science, a stream that combines science and spirituality, and is often considered heretical.

Because of this, in 2013 Emily attended a dinner to commemorate the 44th anniversary of Church of Science. The event was attended by a number of high-ranking officials, such as John Travolta and Jenna Elfman.

What irritated the public more, Emily was also linked to Danny Masterson, a member of Scienceology who was charged with 30 years in prison for being convicted of sexual violence. Emily Amrstrong was present to support Danny at trial, and this was acknowledged by Dead Sara's vocalist.

In her recent statement, Emily admitted that she regretted her actions. He realized that he should not support the perpetrators of sexual violence.

"A few years ago I was asked to support someone who I considered a friend in court, so I came as an observer. Then I realized, I shouldn't have come. I always try to see good things in someone, and I judge them wrongly," he said.

"I never spoke to him again after that. Unexpected details appeared, until he was finally found guilty. To clarify, I do not support violence and harassment against women," explained Emily.

Replacing Chester Bennington at Linkin Park is not easy, especially with a difficult track record to defend, making Emily Armstrong have to work hard to prove she is no longer linked to Science.
