The Mars Volta singer says: "Just watch" Scientologists will hand out pamphlets at Linkin Park shows

Linkin Park's headline-making controversy this weekend revolves around the group's new vocalist, Emily Armstrong as she has received a massive online backlash over her past ties to the church of Scientology and her apparent support of Danny Masterson, a convicted rapist who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison last year. 

A scathing response from Cedric Bixler-Zavala, vocalist of At The Drive In/The Mars Volta, and his wife Chrissie Carnell-Bixler added fuel to the fire, and shortly after, Armstrong released her own statement on the matter. In her statement, she acknowledged that several years ago she was asked to support someone she considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer, but realizes now that she misjudged Masterson, who was later found guilty. 

In response, Bixler-Zavala and Carnell-Bixler were clearly not satisfied with Armstrong's statement and further called out her affiliations with Scientology and her failure to mention the church in her response. In a message shared on social media they say:

Dear Emily, If you're not going to speak out against the human and child trafficking cult in which you are apart 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 fuck 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.

Furthermore, The Mars Volta vocalist gave his own statement, signing off by asking Linkin Park to take At The Drive-In's music off of Linkin Park's preshow playlist. 

Bixler-Zavala's statement read:

A message from my wife above. A message from me👉🏼 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 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. Thats 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 @linkinpark …. 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? Stop playing at the drive in's music on your pre show playlist.

Additionally, he left a comment on the post, saying:

Just watch. You'll have scientology ministers in plain clothes handing out "the way to happiness" pamphlets to their audience at shows.
