  (#5) She Was Detained By Police After Disrupting Airline Flights – Twice

  Love was arrested at Heathrow Airport in February 2003. She had flown into a rage when an acquaintance was not allowed to accompany her into the first class cabin during a flight from LA to London. The disruption was serious enough to prompt the captain to request that law enforcement meet the plane when it disembarked. Love was lead off of the aircraft and into a waiting police car. In Britain to perform at a charity event, she was released after several hours questioning without being charged.

  Love entertained a flight on Qantas in 1995 with similar antics. When asked to remove her feet from the window adjacent to her first class seat, Love objected and asked those in the vicinity if her feet were offending anyone. When threatened with arrest, Love responded by saying, "You are one mean f*cking stewardess." Upon arrival, she was arrested, strip-searched, and charged with intimidation of a flight crew and endangering an aircraft. After two days of airport detention, a court let her off with a $500 fine.

  (#1) She Used Heroin During Her Pregnancy

  For years, Love vehemently denied she had used heroin during her 1992 pregnancy. The rumor started after a Vanity Fair article quoted her talking about doing heroin "for a couple of months" while expecting. Love responded to the criticism by claiming her quotes were inaccurate distortions, and later threatened the author of the piece at an Oscars after-party in 1995.

  Love eventually admitted to using heroin during her pregnancy, although she claimed that she had used it only once. The truth came out in Montage of Heck, a 2015 documentary about the life of Kurt Cobain.

  (#9) She Flashed David Letterman

  On March 18, 2004, Love made an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. During her segment, she exposed her breasts on camera at least six times, stood on the host's desk and offered Letterman a closer look at her chest, and then sang a few snippets of "Danny Boy."

  Letterman responded by saying "Very sweet of you. We are going to lose our liquor license."

  (#10) She Caused $100,000 Worth Of Damage To Her Townhouse

  Love was nearly evicted from a Greenwich Village townhouse in 2011. Love had accidentally started a fire in June of that year; a candle had set the curtains in the master bedroom on fire. Then, the owner got a look at the place – which Love had redecorated, in direct violation of the terms of her lease. Love had covered the building's hand-painted and glazed walls with wallpaper and blue paint. The landlord's attorney described Love's efforts as "tantamount to destroying a work of art."

  At the time of her almost-eviction, Love was allegedly two months behind on her $27,000 a month rent. That's in addition to the damages she caused, which ran an estimated $100,000. Love ultimately prevailed in a lawsuit when it was determined that her rent had been paid.

  (#11) Her Daughter Says She Exists On Drugs, Sugar, And Cigarettes

  Love's daughter, Frances Cobain, outlined her mother's consumption of prescription drugs and dangerous habits in a 2009 request for a restraining order:

  "[She has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on... Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes. She rarely eats... She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire (which she has done at least three times) that will threaten our lives."

  (#8) She Sloppily Crashed An Interview With Madonna

  Madonna was being interviewed during the 1995 MTV VMAs. The interaction was pretty tame – until Love began shouting and hurling cosmetics from off camera, prompting interviewer Kurt Loder to ask if she wished to participate. What ensued was incoherent banter punctuated with occasional dismissive retorts from Madonna, who was clearly not pleased with the intrusion.

  Love didn't help herself by being visibly out of it.
