Shocker Of The Day: Another Person Is Trying To Sue Courtney Love

And Frances Bean wants out.

When you're Courtney Love, you have to be careful what you say on Twitter. She's always getting in trouble for her tweets. She even vowed to stay off the site for a while after an infamous comment she made about Jessica Simpson getting addicted to Nicorette gum, but she came back. Good for her. Why should Courtney Love have to monitor her stream-of-conscious tweet style so as to not offend anyone, anywhere, when the rest of us can do or say whatever the fuck we want to whomever the fuck we want without sprouting anything more than a Twitter war? When Love says anything remotely offensive, she gets sued. Total witch hunt. Sorry, but it’s true.

Recently, San Diego law firm Gordon & Holmes alleged that Love libeled one of its lawyers in a Twitter post from 2011. Apparently, Love had hired Holmes and her firm to dig around for evidence about funds purportedly looted from Kurt Cobain’s estate. Love quickly fired Holmes only six months after hiring her. When Love tried to re-hire Holmes later on, she declined and this sent Love "into a rage,” according to complaint.

Yeah, deep rage. So deep, guys. Love tweeted:

“I was [expletive] devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of San Diego was bought off.”

Not so bad, right? Come on. She’s said things a million times worse about millions of other people. Isn’t that what Twitter is for? To meaninglessly air out your dirty laundry when bored, alone, or drunk?

Gordon & Holmes are attempting to prosecute Love over the comment and recently tried to involve her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, to testify against her. Apparently, Frances once said (in print) that she thought her mother should be banned from Twitter. They want this and any other thoughts Frances may have on her mother’s liable Twitter swag as evidence. Frances denied and responded by moving for a protective order barring the deposition and accusing the law firm of harassing her. Frances and her team of lawyers said she has nothing to contribute to the case, but the judge has only tentatively ruled in favor of Frances’ protective order. She might have to testify in this bullshit case.

Maybe there have been times where Love’s tweets have been crazy, but it’s Courtney Love. We think it's funny that she tells Lana Del Rey which Nirvana lyrics are about her vagina and that she accuses Dave Grohl of hitting on her daughter. Love’s big mouth has always been a source of her intrigue and her demise.

Besides, this tweet she wrote about Holmes is child’s play compared to other things she has said in print or on Twitter. Holmes needs to grow the fuck up and quit this witch hunt.
