Chester Bennington’s Former Wife Was ‘Disgusted’ at His Funeral, Felt Ignored

Twitter

Chester Bennington, the late Linkin Park frontman who committed suicide a couple months ago, was married to Samantha Olit between 1996 and 2005 — and they share a son together.

While at his funeral, Samantha apparently felt disgusted, saying that his life was reduced to only the last 12 years. She and her son didn’t even have an opportunity to speak about their life together with Chester to celebrate his memory. And she wrote about it on Facebook:

“My son & I have not had the opportunity to speak not even at his funeral (that only represented his life that he was married to his new wife) no photos but one of him anywhere,” she wrote. “Dra was never treated equally by T & never wanted to go there because of that… Oh thanks for not honoring the one wish my son had by sharing his prayer with his siblings & throwing the rose quarts (sic) into the ocean with him… it was a disgusting delusional display on all people who spoke at the funeral & their characters.”

“Never mentioning a man who grew up from a little boy and loved many things, becoming a rock star was just one thing,” she added. “We’re (sic) were photos of him,? why did the program look like a cheap happy hour menu?! I’m so disgusted on so many levels! Their (sic) were many friends & family that should have been there but when you turn a funeral into reducing someone’s life into only 12 years that’s what you get!”
