Gossip: Frances Bean Cobain, Courtney Love
Love accused former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl of trying to seduce her 19-year-old daughter.
Frances Bean Cobain has rebuked her mother, Courtney Love, said the Daily Mail (U.K). Last week, Love went on a Twitter tirade against former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, accusing the 43-year-old of trying to seduce the 19-year-old Cobain, her daughter with the late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. Love called Grohl a “gross old man macking on Kurt Cobain’s only child.” Cobain and the Grohl both said it was untrue, and Cobain told an interviewer that “Twitter should ban my mother.’’ Love later apologized for believing the unfounded rumor.
