June, 1st/18.
Personal criticisms of Vicky Karayiannis are from her public statements, claims,
multiple stories, antagonistic interactions personally witnessed on social media and her likely untruthfulness surrounding Chris's passing.
I do not encourage ill intent her way.
Alternative Nation is a rock music media website that, according to their bio,
“covers alternative rock's biggest bands and has featured interviews with members of bands. . .”
I don’t know how much credibility Alternative Nation carries but personally, I find them to be mediocre and biased with mundane journalistic delivery. The narrative of Chris Cornell, who allegedly abused prescription medication, suffered severe depression that lead to his supposed suicide, was pushed predominantly by his wife, Vicky Karayiannis.
Vicky’s incessant documentation of her tweets, personal images and video with
Alternative Nation lead me to recognize her tactics; garner sympathy from fans of Soundgarden.
For 11 months, there's been article after article featuring Vicky interacting with fans who express warmth towards her, condolences to additional details Vicky provides to several changed stories she's claimed after Chris's death.
Until recently, Vicky had never responded to any questions from fans who
opposed and criticized her claims
Questions and concerns outside the suicide narrative.
Anything news related to Chris has almost always been exclusively reported by Alternative Nation, some of which are not what I personally would call “news worthy” with such headlines as:
“CHRIS CORNELL’S BANDMATE REVEALS TEXT SINGER SENT HIM ABOUT HEAVEN OR HELL”,
“CHRIS CORNELL’S WIDOW REACTS TO AUDIOSLAVE REUNION PERFORMANCE”,
“CHRIS CORNELL’S WIDOW BRAVELY REVEALS HOW SHE OVERCOMES CRYING AND SCREAMING”,
“CHRIS CORNELL’S FRIEND REVEALS WHY OSCARS SNUB AS EDDIE VEDDER PLAYED WAS A BIT IRONIC . . .”
Whenever I search "Chris Cornell" on the internet with the hopes of finding anything new surrounding the circumstances of his death, I get Alternative Nation.
The particular four articles following this post are what I believe to be an ulterior motive. Despite the strong evidence of foul play (a forensic analysis soon to be published here)
Chris’s clean toxicology report, the conflicting stories and timelines, Vicky continues on a pursuit to keep her likely reported falsehoods alive.
Remember, it's an uninformed public, voluntary ignorance, the power of repetition and the appeal to authority are the reasons why evil people get away with their crimes and roam the Earth unscathed.
Demonstrated are Vicky's peculiar maneuvers of using fans and the appeal to emotion.
She is not the victim in these circumstances nor do I believe she suddenly is an advocate for mental health, suicide prevention, the opioid epidemic or, according to her new Twitter status, “to help the world’s most vulnerable children.”
11 months have passed and one of the things I’ve learned about Vicky Karayiannis is that she, apparently, was or is a publicist.
“Now the truth will set you free, but all you had was lying in you,
So you built a cage for me, all the while pretending to be,
A living saint with a thorny crown,
And me condemned to be your clown. . .”
