  (#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.

  (#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."

  (#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.

  (#4) She Attacked Her Manager's House At Three In The Morning

  One early morning at around 3 a.m. in October 2003, Love forced her daughter Frances Cobain to accompany her to the Los Angeles home of her boyfriend and manager Jim Barber. Once they arrived, Love, presumably enraged by the presence of another woman in the house, began smashing windows, attempting to break in, and screaming that she would burn the residence down. Barber's children were present at the time.

  Love was detained and taken to a police station, and determined to be under the influence of an intoxicant or drug. After posting bond, she was released. But Love's day didn't end there. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., Love was rushed to an emergency room for treatment of a potential drug overdose from Oxycontin.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#7) She Lost Custody Of Her Daughter On Three Occasions

  In 1992, when Love's daughter Frances Cobain was a newborn, accounts of Love's heroin use during pregnancy prompted LA Protective Services to briefly remove Cobain from her home. The child was returned after the investigation was dropped.

  After Love was arrested in 2003 for attacking her manager's home, a nasty battle ensued in which the courts awarded temporary custody of Cobain to Kurt Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor. Officials noted Love's attempted burglary, overdose in front of her daughter, and suicide threat. It would take two years and protracted legal battles involving some of LA's most prominent attorneys before Love was legally reunited with her daughter.

  Then, in 2009, Cobain requested a restraining order against her mother, and attempted to appoint her grandmother and her aunt as her guardians. She was successful. Love responded by attacking Cobain on her Facebook page.

  (#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.

  (#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."

  (#12) She Claimed Britney Spears Was Molested By Her Father

  Love's daughter Frances Cobain once said her mother should be banned from social media. This might have prevented a 2009 incident in which Love incoherently took to Facebook to allege that Britney Spears's father molested his daughter repeatedly:

  "britneys dad molested her , imagine the father that molested you owning you for slavery while your forced to sing songs picked for thier sexual content every night, insane right? i have it on First had authority, and fight as hard as she is and does she still didnt pull that card, its a pride thing i can relate to, However they want to play dirty, lets go, Im SO not affraid of the little trolls who hit this when i was f***** up who are called lawyers. lets GO."

  (#13) She And Kurt Cobain Lived In Squalor

  After the release of Nirvana's first album, Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain lived in Los Angeles, CA, in a modest two bedroom apartment. Cobain spent time composing songs for the band's followup album, while Love was pregnant with the couple's child.

  It sounds like an idyllic rock star life, but the photographs that surfaced years later suggest something much darker. After Love and Cobain left the apartment, it was shown filled with trash, drug paraphernalia, words painted on walls, and general chaos.
• 

  (#14) She Threw A Microphone Stand At An Audience Member

  On March 18, 2004 – the same night she had repeatedly flashed David Letterman – Love was arrested for throwing a microphone stand into a nightclub audience and injuring a spectator. Although the incident seemed unintentional, the patron required three staples in his head and asked to press charges of reckless endangerment and third degree assault.

  Love eventually plead this down to a misdemeanor.
