Before she made that controversial announcement, she told fans of the late Linkin Park singer about her affair with Shinoda. "I guess this is the time to say it but I have been cheating on Chester with Mike Shinoda. I never really loved him and I'm not hacked I just was in love with the money hurts to say," the tweets read, IBTimes US noted.
Adding fuel to his death speculations, Talinda claimed, "He didn't kill himself, he was already did [sic] before he hung himself, I have proof.." The tweets were soon deleted giving investigators another angle to look into.

There has been no clarification from Talinda's representatives as of yet. However, numerous reports on their love story suggest that the couple was madly in love. Chester also shared in an interview in 2009 that Talinda helped him battle depression.
"My divorce was one of the worst and best things to ever happen to me in my life. Everything I had worked so hard for was gone after we were through. Everything! When I met Talinda, I knew she was the one pretty instantly. She moved into my place after a week and a half or something like that," Daily Mirror shared.
