  (#3) She Killed Her Daughter's Pets

  Frances Cobain, the daughter of Love and Kurt Cobain, filed a request for a restraining order against her mother in December 2009. It contained allegations that Cobain's cat died after being trapped in boxes of papers, garbage and other clutter hoarded within the household. Another one of Cobain's pets, a dog, died after consuming large amounts of pills casually left around the home.

  The restraining order requested that Love have no contact with her daughter, her daughter's grandmother and aunt, or Cobain's dog Uncle Fester. The order was granted.

  (#6) She Threw A Lit Candle At A Woman And Dumped Whiskey On Her

  In October 2004, Love went to the home of her ex-boyfriend Jim Barber and attacked a woman she found inside. Kristin King, the then-romantic partner of Barber, said she was sleeping in Barber's living room when Love entered. Seeing King on the couch, Love picked up a whiskey bottle and dumped it on King. She then threw a lit candle, sat on King, and dug her fingernails into King's skin.

  "She was very aggressive, angry, just vicious," King said.

  Love plead guilty to misdemeanor assault, was given three years of probation, and was forced to pay restitution to King.

  (#2) She's Rumored To Be Involved In Kurt Cobain's Death

  Kur Cobain committed suicide on April 5, 1994, but rumors have persisted for years that he was actually murdered. What's more, many suspect Love may have been involved. Supposedly, Cobain was on the verge of divorcing her when he died. Love also had a lot to gain financially from her husband's death.

  Love has repeatedly denied any involvement with Cobain's passing, though that hasn't stopped speculation. In fact, Tom Grant, a private investigator hired by Love when Cobain disappeared from a Los Angeles rehab facility shortly before his suicide, has stated, "Love was involved in a conspiracy in the death of Kurt Cobain."

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#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."
