Chester Bennington’s son Jaime Bennington recently took to Instagram stories to question the truth behind his father’s and the band’s social media accounts.

It started when Jaime started sharing some theories about the social media posts made just a short time before his father’s passing. He explained in his stories that most of the posts didn’t make sense, and questioned the truth behind it.

“I wonder who has access to the LINKIN PARK official social media and the social media of each individual bandmate. Did someone have access to Chester’s social media,” he asked in a story.

Jaime also shared a screenshot of Mike Shinoda’s tweet two years after Chester’s passing. The supposedly ‘accidental’ tweet was shared from Linkin Park’s original X account. “I doubt I’ve ever laughed as much doing a podcast. Thanks for having me on to talk about porn, first impressions, exposed boob etiquette, and #Dadnoda,” it read. Shinoda later replied to the post with, “Welp, I meant to tweet that from my account, not the LP account. Oh well. Go listen to it anyway!”

Two years after these tweets, Shinoda shared another tweet that read, “I don’t tweet from the LP account.”

This caused Jaime to suspect that one of those two tweets was a lie.

“Considering that Mike doesn’t post through the official LP accounts it’s worth wondering… 1) Does Mike run his own social media? Or do all band members have ‘controlled accounts,’” he shared in another Instagram story, adding, “2) If ‘they’ had access to Chester’s cell phone and social media did ‘they’ ever post as Chester? If so, how much of Chester’s truth has been compromised, for how long has this truth been compromised, and in what way has this truth been compromised?”

Jaime also claimed a few times that his father didn’t die the way people are saying he did.

He said that what ‘they’ wanted people to see was a man ‘with a history of substance abuse and suicidal ideation.’ A few days later, he mentioned a meeting between Linkin Park and former President Bill Clinton in 2014. He noted that shortly after meeting with the Clintons, Chester joined a human trafficking task force. He also referenced a death hoax about Chester that occurred around the same time.

Jaime also made some claims about the band members since the addition of Emily Armstrong to the band, saying Mike Shinoda ran the band undercover for years.
