Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington was found dead in his California home Thursday as a result of what authorities are deeming a suicide, leaving behind six children from two relationships and his widow, Talinda Bennington.
Just hours after news of Chester’s death broke, hackers allegedly broke into Talinda’s Twitter account to leave vile messages including claims that she “never really loved” her husband.

Soon after appearing, the tweets were quickly removed, but fans had, naturally, already taken screen shots of the horrid messages.

‘Never really loved him’
Several of the horrible tweets claimed Talinda was only in the marriage for the money and alleged that she was cheating on Chester with his bandmate Mike Shinoda.

‘I’m glad’
The tweets continued, with the hacker writing, “I’m glad he killed himself.”
When compared with previous tweets from Talinda, the poor grammar of the vile messages makes it clear she was hacked.
