虽然许多林肯公园的粉丝对乐队的回归、新音乐的发布以及新巡演表示兴奋，但也有一些人对艾米莉加入乐队的决定表示不满。
Social media users have spoken about Emily's link to the Church of Scientology.
社交媒体用户纷纷谈论艾米莉与山达基教会的联系。
The Los Angeles-born musician - who previously dropped out of high school to chase her dream career - was seen attending the Church of Scientology's 44th Anniversary Gala back in 2013.
这位洛杉矶出生的音乐家——她曾为了追逐自己的音乐梦想而辍学——被拍到在2013年出席了山达基教会的44周年庆典。
Emily was one of many celebrities who attended the event on August 24, 2013, in Los Angeles.
艾米莉是2013年8月24日在洛杉矶举行的庆典活动中的众多名人之一。
Former model Leilani Dowding, Hollywood icon John Travolta and Jenna Elfman all appeared to attend the event. In one snap, Emily was seen posing alongside fellow musician Cedric Bixler-Zavala of the band Mars Volta.
前模特蕾拉妮·道丁、好莱坞偶像约翰·特拉沃尔塔和珍娜·艾夫曼都出席了活动。在一张照片中，艾米莉与Mars Volta乐队的音乐家Cedric Bixler-Zavala 一同摆姿势拍照。
However, it is not known whether Emily is still linked to the controversial church which is often defined as a "cult".
然而，目前尚不清楚艾米莉是否仍与这个常被定义为“邪教”的争议性教会有关联。
But this isn't the only thing that has left fans rattled, Emily was allegedly present during the trial and subsequent conviction of rapist Danny Masterson back in 2022.
但这并不是唯一让粉丝感到不安的事情，艾米莉据称在2022年强奸犯丹尼·马斯特森的审判和随后的定罪过程中也在场。
Masterson was sentenced to three decades behind bars for two rapes which took place in 2001 and 2003.
马斯特森因2001年和2003年发生的两起强奸案被判入狱30年。

He first faced accusations of rape in 2017 by three women who were also followers of Scientology. They claimed that they had been coerced into not contacting authorities about the accusations.
他首次面临强奸指控是在2017年，由三名同样是山达基信徒的女性提出。她们声称自己被迫不与当局联系以指控他。
It is not clear whether Emily still has any contact with Masterson. However, fans have been left enraged by the news that she had joined the band.
目前尚不清楚艾米莉是否与马斯特森仍有联系。然而，她加入乐队的消息让粉丝们大为愤怒。
One even claimed that the late Chester would not be happy with the news. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one said: "Sick of seeing people excited about this new Linkin Park singer. Emily Armstrong is a known Scientologist and Danny Masterson supporter. Chester wouldn't have wanted this, I know that."
一位粉丝甚至在推特上表示：“厌倦了看到人们对这位新的林肯公园主唱感到兴奋。艾米莉·阿姆斯特朗是众所周知的科学教徒和丹尼·马斯特森的支持者。查斯特不会想看到这个，我知道。”
"Funny how Linkin Park's new lead singer Emily Armstrong is a known member of the infamous Scientology cult and showed up to support Danny Masterson at his trial in 2022 where he was accused and was later found guilty of two counts of r*pe in 2024," said a second.
另一位粉丝说：“有趣的是，林肯公园的新主唱艾米莉·阿姆斯特朗是臭名昭著的山达基邪教的一名成员，并在2022年出现在马斯特森的审判现场支持他，他当时被指控并随后在2024年被判犯有两项强奸罪。”
