Linkin Park’s Emily Armstrong Issues Statement Regarding Past Support Of Danny Masterson: “I Do Not Condone Abuse Or Violence Against Women”

Linkin Park’s new singer Emily Armstrong (also of Dead Sara) has issued a new statement after facing backlash for her alleged ties to Scientology and her support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson. She said the following:

“Hi, I’m Emily. I’m new to so many of you, and I wanted to clear the air about something that happened a while back. Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer. 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. Unimaginable details emerged and he was later found guilty. 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.”
