Courtney Love has just lost custody of her 17-year-old. We know this girl leads a crazy life, but so crazy, they have to take her child away????
Courtney Love is losing control, but this time it involves her most precious possession: her daughter.
A Los Angeles court has appointed temporary guardians over Frances Bean, 17, although the reasons are not immediately clear. Kurt Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor and his younger sister, Kimberly, now have legal, medical and financial authority over the teenager. A court hearing on the matter has been scheduled for February 10.
“This doesn’t necessarily mean that Courtney Love is an unfit mother and has completely lost custody,” says L.A. probate attorney Jeffrey S. Cohen, who’s not involved with the case. “It’s too early to say. It could be because she’s simply going out-of-state for a long period of time.”
Geraldine Wyle, a lawyer for Frances Bean and the two guardians, said only, “This is a private family matter.” A rep for Love, 45, wasn’t immediately available for comment.
In past interviews, Frances Bean has made it clear that she is not like her parents. She told Harper’s Bazaar last year that her paternal grandmother, who lives in Olympia, Wash., has been a constant force in her life. “She’s probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world,” she told the magazine.
It kind of sounds like Frances, Courtney’s daughter, really has no respect for her mother and would rather be with her grandmother and aunt. Damn, that’s kind of cold.

Courtney is a freak. That poor little girl probably needs a break from her crazy *****. Not to mention, Courtney has spent all of Curt Corbain’s money.

I thought that she had already lost custody some years ago. It’s a good thing Frances looks more like Kurt ’cause we don’t need another Courtney running around.

Not surprised. FYI Courtney and Kurt also almost lost custody of Frances when she was an infant. This is basically a long time coming.

Courtney has a long standing drug problem and lately seems like she might have an eating disorder of might be so far off on drugs that she’s not eating properly. This isn’t a shock to anyone that follows YT news.

She looks just like her father – WOW! Actually, I don’t know why that addict trash of a mother didn’t lose custody a long time ago. Glad Frances has stability, guidance & love with her grandmother. Kurt was watching over her.

This is about money. Frances Bean’s money. Courtney has been spending her daughters inheritance. The courts put a stop to it.

@drenk
she did not murder kurt cobain. why do people always blame the wife when a man dies? if you ever listened to nirvana, you would know he was very sick and tired of the entertainment world and he complained that people want too much of him. he killed himself.

Being a former oreo, I used to listen to noth nirvana (her husbands band) and (hole) her band, and she gets her daughter taken away from her at least once a year. It’s bout that time. heroin(and all of its opiate derivatives) is a horrible thing.
Note to ni66as: stop popping oxycontins and lortabs with your 40oz’s, b/c that $hit is just prescription opium.

Courtney was not even around when Kurt committed suicide watch the do*****entary before you start accusing people of murder…Kurt was always in between worlds and artist and very sensitive creatures he didn’t see the world the way he wanted his world to be-thus taking his own life to end his confusion and misery…I hope Courtney has not lost custody for good-she will grow old and the drug use will cease then she will be trying to find what she lost in the storm!

OMG! Looking at the daughter is like looking at Kurt!!!
May you R.I.P. my dear grunge brother…the founder of my guitar rebellion when I needed to rock out the most in a very turbulent time in my life.
Nirvana = Bliss.
May your daughter prosper Kurt, because Courtney is showing the asz she has always been.

True. Kurt didn’t bow down to those who wanted to make him what he wasn’t.
I have a deep suspicion about Kurt’s death.
1. Courtney killed him (first guess)
2. Dave Grohl killed him
3. Someone in his entourage killed him
Courtney had the motive. Kurt couldn’t stand the wench, realized his life was being arranged by the industry and Courtney was hurting for more exposure. Come on, all she had was the ghastly style with showing her panties on stage to anyone close-by who wanted to see her sweated out cooch.
Grohl, I heard, was moving musically in a direction by writing style Kurt didn’t like. It was too formulated for his taste. He almost didn’t do Smells Like Teen Spirit because it got away in part from Kurt’s rebellious style of rock. And not only that, I can’t understand how Grohl became so big right after Kurt’s death when the formula for Nirvana’s success was totally done away with. Answer: He was behind Kurt’s death all along.
Someone in his entourage could have easily done it. These industry cats have their fake friends set up all over the place just to keep tabs on your life and to make sure you stay in pocket. If not, they have folks right beside ready to execute orders for the “man” really running the show.
This may have been the deal with Kurt as well. All we know is his drug habit made it seem as if he would easily kill himself…life of poverty, depression, the guy was sleeping under the bridge WHILE he was a star for crying out loud!
oh well…that’s my take

Poor Frances Bean. I always feel bad for the children involved in madness. I really really liked Kurt’s music and remember the first time I heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on my way from high school.
@Keepinit2Real, I agree with you and Rihanna’s Sharp Witchy Fingers.

Why is it cold that she has a grandmother who has been a constant and postive force in her life? Some things being said on these stories by Bossip is so lame.
If more children with drug addicted parents who people in their lives who were stable and were there for them, there would probably be less problems with these children growing up, and would be helpful for them to become productive adults.
