Exposing the ugly lies and behaviour of the coven.

Reminder of some of the shady and sloppy things Lindsey Way has done:

- created the nowaymikeywayblog

- bullied and doxed teenage fans online

- used Jessicka Addams to make connections in the art world and then dumped her when she was no longer required

- slept with her MARRIED guitarist and bandmate Steve ‘Righ?’ Montano and taunted his wife about it (confirmed by Lucinda Montano)

- treats her mom and sister like shit and laughs about them with her famous** friends (x) (x) (x) (x)

- publicly supported her ex-friend’s rapist

- Dropped her friend of over 20 years for no reason

- Blocked a fan who asked her to support BLM

- Has been accused of plagiarising artwork

 **famous by association, much like Lindsey is only ‘‘‘famous’‘‘ (lol) because of her husband, Frances Bean is only famous because of her parents.

Miscellaneous crap that we have or might make posts about someday:

- gets and dumps numerous ‘pedigree’ (aka, bred to have ongoing health conditions) pets – where’s Susan the French Bulldog? Where’s Grandpa the Sphynx cat?

- apparently cheated on Gerard with a Russian fan (well, we know that marriage vows don’t mean shit to her *cough* Steve Righ? *cough*)

- She has left a long line of ex-friends including Chantal Claret, Jessicka Addams, Jennifer Emil, Lucinda Montano and many others.

- lies (a lot) about random things that make her seem woke, edgy, interesting or whatever including claiming that she is adopted/bi/Indian/black (we have some evidence for her inconsistent lies but not enough to make a post yet).

- bathing isn’t her strong point and she’s proud of it :/. (Ok, this one is funny but seriously, who boasts about that?)

- uses satire as an excuse for the racist, sexist and misogynistic things her band have said/done.

- Claimed her shirt said “girlfriend” instead of ‘boyfriend’ (maybe to seem interesting or queerbait idk?)

-  Lied about being adopted

- more random stuff in some of the screenshots on this post

- Lied about being Indian

In a slightly different post from our normal updates, we recently had a follower reach out to us with a story of their own experience with Lindsey (and Chantal Claret). The individual has asked us to keep their identity anonymous and although we cannot 100% confirm their story, we have no reason to doubt them. What follows is their own words:

“Hey, could you post this but keep me anonymous? I went to the Ghosts for Sale art show in 2017. It was a super relaxed environment with only about 30 people or so. No crazy fans and plenty of time to chat or meet people. I was 13 and a big Lyn-Z fan at the time so I was super excited to meet her and tell her how much I appreciated her art. I went up to her and said hi and she flat out ignored me and avoided eye contact. She didn't say a word to me. She pretty much just took a picture with me and shooed me away. I didn't expect anything from Lyn-Z other than human decency, but she had no interest in interacting with anybody other than her friends from what I could tell, even though we were all there to buy prints and support her. She made it really awkward and I regretted going because I felt unwelcomed by her even though she said anyone could show up. I spent money on prints and a ticket to get in and made my mom drive over an hour to go. Waste of time really. Also, I met Chantal (who was super sweet and had a good conversation with me) and she told me that she painted one of the pieces in the art show, which I thought was strange because she got no credit for it. Weird”.

Here is the picture they provided as proof that they attended the Ghosts For Sale show and met Lindsey:

 From our anon: “This is the piece that Chantal did. She received no credit from what I've found”.

It has been brought to our attention (thanks for all the messages!) that Lindsey Way has been accused of plagiarism. This came to light when Twitter user @/ieroist posted the following tweet on 19th December:

The image on the left of this tweet is ‘Magical Contamination’ mould art by Antoine Bridier-Nahmias. The image on the right is cover art for Gerard Way’s record ‘Getting Down the Germs’ painted by Lindsey Way.

‘Getting Down the Germs’ was released in November 2018. It was never acknowledged that the cover art to match the record was copied inspired by Antoine Bridier-Nahmias’s artwork from 2012.

Even the original artist was unaware of Lindsey using his work:

However, there is no way that Lindsey was unaware of who the creator was. A quick reverse image search throws up hundreds of images, articles, interviews etc. crediting the artist, Antoine Bridier-Nahmias.

Yet again, My Chemical Romance fans are left disappointed by the actions of Lindsey. Here are some of the reactions to this latest revelation:

We think it’s important to note that this isn’t actually the first time that Lindsey has taken someone’s work and passed it off as her own without giving credit to the original creator.

Remember when Steve, Righ? cheated on his wife with Lindsey? One of the artefacts from this affair was later used in the ‘Shitty Teen’ art show. The letter used in the piece ‘Rad Witch’ was written by Steve and given to Lindsey during their affair in 2004 as confirmed by Steve’s wife, Lucinda Montano:

Although Steve will likely never admit to this, and whilst we cannot confirm whether he gave his permission, Lindsey used his letter in her artwork (for profit) without crediting him.

Speaking of Shitty Teen…

Remember when Lindsey’s long-term friend, Amanda called her a “fucking piece of shit”? Well, Lindsey used Amanda’s high school letter in the art piece ‘I Wanna be a Star’.

This is the first time to our knowledge that Lindsey was publicly called out by the original creator for using their work without giving credit. As the following Instagram posts show, Amanda’s handwriting was reproduced in Lindsey’s art that was subsequently sold to famous director, Kevin Smith.

To add insult to injury, Lindsey then dropped her friend of 20+ years for no apparent reason.

Since our last post documenting the breakdown of Lindsey and Amanda’s friendship, Amanda has backtracked on these claims, and Lindsey has deigned to like a couple of her posts. Leading Amanda to delete some of her posts and edit previous captions. Luckily, we got the screenshots first:

Before:

After:

And don’t even get us started on this…

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, so what’s plagiarism then?

Remember when Lindsey Way came onto Twitter to “show up” and be vocal about Black Lives Matter (BLM)?

After Gerard and Lindsey had stayed quiet in the days following the tragic murder of George Floyd on the 25th May, Lindsey eventually decided to take part in the (totally pointless) social media ‘blackout’ (where celebrities showed they cared by posting a black square) on the 2nd June.

Lindsey was rightly called out by fans who asked that she use her (and MCR’s) platform to share links, donate, educate, and generally do something for the BLM movement. This was especially poignant for black MCR fans who correctly citied that Lindsey’s band, Mindless Self Indulgence, had profited off of a genre created by the black community. Furthermore, MSI are known for peppering their songs with numerous racial slurs (see their songs ‘I Want to be Black’  and “N*****”, as well as the lyrics of their song, Tornado which uses the word “n****”).

@/costtaconcordia, a Twitter user who identified themselves as a “black MCR fan” was very vocal on this point, so much so that they caught the eye of Lindsey who went on a spree of liking and retweeting their tweets which are detailed below:

Looking at Twitter user @/costtaconcordia’s Tweets, you can see that they have had no further interaction with Lindsey following these Tweets on the 2nd June 2020. It appears that they left things on good terms with Lindsey, whose Twitter likes/retweets seemed to show that she agreed with their (very valid) points.

However, on the 5th November 2020 (over 5 months after this interaction) @/costtaconcordia tweeted that Lindsey had blocked them on Twitter:

As we know, Lindsey has not been active on Twitter lately (although she did have a failed attempt at a comeback on Instagram in late September/early October). This makes it even more bizarre that Lindsey would login just to block this account - an account who in no way abused her but instead implored her to be vocal about BLM and issues facing black trans women.

Here are some of the reactions to Lindsey blocking this account:

And our personal favourite (@/desolationpenis ain’t wrong):

A closer look:

Just like the time that she lied about what was written on her shirt, Lindsey has once again demonstrated that she’ll say/do whatever makes her look woke or like a good person. Lindsey liking/tweeting/retweeting about BLM for a day, promising to “show up more” and then blocking a black fan who called out her lack of support for the BLM movement just shows how surface-level and performative her activism is. Lindsey acts like a good person while people are watching but ultimately, with everything that she’s done, it’s clear to us that Lindsey doesn’t care about anyone but herself.

It’s no coincidence that Amanda backtracked on that post within an hour of our blog posting about it.

We all know that Lindsey reads this blog:

Either Lindsey herself or her husband’s lawyers have been on to Amanda and threatened her to remove and backtrack on what she said. That’s the only explanation that makes sense, I mean, how can you “unintentionally” call your best friend a “fucking piece of shit”?

Another Ex-Friend Speaks Out!

Earlier this weekend a couple of new Lindsey Way pictures were doing the rounds on Instagram. These pictures popped up on fan accounts and showed Lindsey tattooing a friend:

However, while the fans were gushing over these “never-seen-before” pictures, they conveniently left out the information found on the original content (which, as you can see, @/ballatotrashy claims not to know the source of - funny, cause we just had to scroll down like two posts to find it):

It transpires that this post was made by someone who had been a friend of Lindsey’s for over twenty years. The friend in question, Amanda, is also from Connecticut (where Lindsey grew up) and even collaborated on one of the ‘Shitty Teen’ pieces with her. Here is some proof that they were longtime friends:

Amanda has since been bullied by Lynz fans to remove her post, but not before we got the evidence.

So, here is ANOTHER friend that Lindsey has used and dropped, leaving her with the lasting memory that Lindsey Way is a “fucking piece of shit”.

Makes this tweet all the more ironic:

Finally, a note to all the Lynz Way fans who have used the tattooing pictures or plan to use any of the pictures here on their fanpages in future - consider the source. Know that whenever you crop, edit or watermark Amanda’s pictures, she called her A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.

------------------------------ EDIT -------------------------------------

WELP! Looks like Lindsey got Gerard’s lawyers involved!

Turns out it was A HUGE MISTAKE and Amanda is “a moron” who only ACCIDENTLY called one of her “best and oldest” friends a “fucking piece of shit”.

It’s all good guys, can you see the loveheart around their pic?

After promising to “show up” more to support causes such as Black Lives Matter, Lindsey was notably absent from social media for most of the year (even missing events such as her own birthday, her daughter’s birthday, the Umbrella Academy series 2 launch and her wedding  anniversary – all events Lindsey would never miss posting a boast/picture of herself on in previous years).

This is not very surprising following the recent backlash against Lindsey’s (and MSI’s) ongoing problematic behaviour (much of which has been documented here, here and here). This culminated on Twitter when a fan asked Lindsey about accusations relating to Jimmy Urine’s behaviour with minors. Instead of condemning his alleged actions or listening to the concerns of her fans, Lindsey decided to make the situation about herself and used it to once again drag her family (and Jessicka Addams) into something which had nothing to do with them. Instead of saying that we should believe victims, Lindsey seemed to be telling her fans ‘believe victims unless it’s related to me – then Jessicka or my family is behind it’.

This was a punch in the gut to people who have come forward to condemn Jimmy’s actions, something which did not go unnoticed by fans. To sum it up, Lindsey’s avoidance technique of playing the victim did not work this time, hence her long social media absence.

Fast forward a few months and Lindsey makes her return to social media in the form of this artwork posted to her Instagram account:

It doesn’t take a genius to work out Lindsey’s subtle-as-a-sledgehammer symbolism here (and indeed many fans were quick to point it out) that Lindsey sees herself as the target of a witch hunt, left to burn at the stake (playing the victim again). However, her triumphant return spectacularly blew up in her face – and in the comments. Here are some of our favourites:

Unsurprisingly, Lindsey switched off her comments for the post following a few hours of this. Furthermore, she has now limited the comments on her remaining posts so that only people she is following can interact with them.

 But Lindsey being Lindsey, she couldn’t leave it here. Oh no, several days later (really, it took her that long to come up with a ‘cutting’ comeback?) Lindsey returned to ‘win’ again (she should really learn to just leave it) with this post:

More sloppy symbolism here… How will we ever figure out what you mean, Lynz? (Note: playing the victim again AGAIN).

Lindsey limiting her comments on Instagram just meant that the reactions spilled over to Twitter and (spoiler alert!) they were not in Lindsey’s favour. Here are some of the tweets reacting to this ‘comeback’:

Recently, we have been documenting the numerous lies that Lindsey Way feeds to her fans and followers. Mostly, these lies bend the truth in a way that makes Lindsey seem more interesting or ‘woke’ (for example, her lies about being adopted or even what her shirt says). Our next Lindsey lie somewhat relates to her adoption lie in that they were both dropped in the following tweet:

This is the first time, to our knowledge, that Lindsey revealed that she is “Indian”. However, Lindsey did not merely state this fact, she continued to discuss her “Indian” roots with @/MCRmy_India.

Here she is telling us why India is “so very close to [her] heart” as her grandmother “is from Kashmir”:

In the following tweets, Lindsey expresses her desire to “travel to India” and see her fans from the country. Touchingly, Lindsey replies to them in Hindi and divulges that she has been studying Sanskrit (an ancient Indian language), Ayurveda (traditional Hindu medicine practices) and meditation “for years”.

However, one year later (one more year of studying Sanskrit, Ayurveda and meditation for Lindsey!), the Indian MCRmy sent Lindsey a nice message written in Sanskrit (remember, she’s been studying it “FOR YEARS”):

Lindsey Way, who has been studying Sanskrit “FOR YEARS” due to her “Indian” roots, cannot read the message which says “Namaste Lindsey” (Namaste is a respectful greeting, akin to ‘hello’).

We’re sorry, but if you have indeed been studying the language and culture of India for “years”, surely you would recognise ‘Namaste’ and your own name? Even your average yoga mom who has attended a beginner class would probably know ‘Namaste’…

Perhaps, this isn’t familiar to her because she is not in fact Indian?

To recap, Lindsey (unprompted) disclosed that she was “Indian” and that her “grandmother is from Kashmir”. Due to her recent spate in lies, Kellie on Twitter (thanks for the screenshots!) rightfully queried this information with Lindsey’s sister, Amy via DM:

Unlike Lindsey’s “I’ve been studying Sanskrit for years”/”I can’t read Sanskrit” debacle, Amy has stuck by her contention that her family has no known Indian connection:

In fact, this lie of Lindsey’s is so far-fetched (even for her) that it is laughable for Amy:

Amy also revealed to Kellie that she has had their ancestry researched and therefore has the receipts to further discredit Lindsey’s lies (we’re sure Lindsey is NOT looking forward to the day when she drops them!):

Although Amy says that Lindsey can only relate to “rich whites”, this wouldn’t be the first time that Lindsey has lied about her ethnicity. According to her ex-friend, Jessicka Addams, Lindsey has identified as being “black” in the past to defend MSI’s disgusting and inappropriate use of the N word and songs such as ‘I Want to Be Black’:

Here is Jessicka discussing the issue with Steve ‘Righ?’ Montano’s wife (another ex-friend of Lindsey’s), Lucinda Montano:

So why are these lies harmful?

These lies degrade and dimish the struggles that POCs face every day. These lies take from and appropriate beautiful and ancient cultures for the sake of a “fun fact” on Twitter. These lies are dangerous. These lies were told by Lindsey Way.

In one of our last posts, we highlighted one of Lindsey’s (many, many) lies, this one concerning her response to a fan asking about her shirt. We’ve seen a lot of discussion about this post since it went up. Most people seem to understand that although this lie may not seem very harmful (especially when compared to some of her other behaviours) that even the smallest lies can have a big impact on her fans, as @loverofmenartandpasta explains here:

“…Is it to make amends for songs such as “F*ggot”. It is just a shirt but to a community that looks up to her it meant a lot more than that…”

Which brings us nicely on to our next Lindsey lie.

All screenshots we post are credible as we get them direct from the sources. The ones from Lucinda Montano confirming Steve Righ? and Lindsey Way’s affair (and her using his letter in her art show) were obtained directly from messaging Lucinda on Instagram.

One year ago, we told you how Jessicka leaked her own DMs, including this one:

Recently, Lindsey posted this on her Twitter, confirming that Jessicka Addams set up a fake account to bully fans:

You can see that these are the same DMs (carefully cropped by Jessicka, of course).

This shows that our screenshots are not faked. Which makes this exchange between Chantal Claret and Jessicka Addams all the more disturbing:
