On Friday, (25 June) the 56-year-old American musician posted a picture of 18-year-old Rodrigo’s promo art for her forthcoming Sour Prom Concert film with the caption: “Spot the difference! #twinning! @oliviarodrigo.”
In the photo, the “good 4 u” singer is wearing a prom dress while holding a bouquet of flowers as tears stream down her cheeks, smudging her mascara. The photograph is vaguely similar to Hole’s 1994 album cover, which featured model Leilani Bishop.
In the comments section of her post, Love said that Rodrigo should’ve asked her or cover photographer Ellen von Unwerth for permission.
“It was rude of her, and Geffen not to ask myself or Ellen Von Unwerth. It’s happened my whole career so i.d.c [”I don’t care”]. But manners is manners,” she wrote. (Independent)
Recently, Courtney Love on Sunday (June 13) made and then deleted an Instagram post in which she lashed out at Dave Grohl over an apparent royalties agreement related to Nirvana, deriding the former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters bandleader and his colloquial tag as the "nicest guy in rock." In the same message, Love, the widow of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, accused Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor of abuse. (Loudwire)
ThePRP captured screenshots of Love's post before it was removed. The Hole frontwoman's screed started by suggesting that both Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails had previously disparaged her likeness in music videos. It included an image of NIN's "Starfuckers, Inc." video.
This is the full message
"Here's a few receipts from some mega aggressions I've had to deal with, make myself small for, stop righteous lawsuits over, ('we are not doormats' my sponsor always quotes to me) due to male privilege in all its vile toxicity. When @sharonstone was asked if she had any #metoo’s, she just laughed. We only get 1 right?
I've had enough of this [Pile of Poo emoji] from these clowns leaning into my being scapegoated for breathing, for my husband's death, for my 'overt' sexuality, because I'm an addict, etc, and a WOMAN, for over 27 years.
3 months before I left LA, I signed a document that effectively gives Dave [Grohl] (and Krist [Novoselic]) my descendants money in perpetuity. I was so broken. So scarred, so exhausted by him, I just fucking signed it. But it's a lie. So I'm unsigning it.
Because it’s nonsense. The chaos and fury over Kurt's death being directed at me, deflected by Dave, while he enriched and continues to enrich himself, gorging on Kurt's fortune and Kurt's goodwill. 27! Years!!! I've had enough.
I'm over being made small. And being 'forced' to 'just drop it' when it affects every generation of my descendants. Nicest guy in Rock? No.
As for Reznor, At least? HE'S talented but still a creep. I've never seen so much systemic abuse of kids, girls as young as 12, by him and his crew, we all (the members of Hole) witnessed it. So while these two jack asses are not my #metoo’s because I'm saving my 1 up (because we only get 1) they're darn close.
#fuckoff @treznor @nineinchnails @foofighters I really hope my example of standing up to them, putting a stop to them, will prevent any other women (or men) from this soul shattering level of personal and cultural abuse in future. Sexually, spiritually, financially.. #metoo #me3 #me88 etc etc ad nauseam. #blessed? Yeah to be breathing long enough to tell the tale. I'm cramming as much into every song as I can. Nam myoho renge kyo. 'We are not doormats."
