Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain recently told The Irish Independent in a recent interview that she did have some issues with the 2014 Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck, directed by Brett Morgen.
Which bits would she have left out of the movie? Frances, as a baby, with her dad high?
“I know they were real. I know about it, but I don’t know how necessary it was for the entire world to know about it.”
The interviewer also spoke to Kurt Cobain’s mother Wendy O’Connor, and asked what her first memory of Frances Bean was.
“They [Courtney and Frances] were living in California and they came up to Washington State and I met her in a hotel!” she laughs. “And I just melted. This precious little girl with huge eyes. Adorable.”
“She was one of the cutest babies I’d ever seen,” says her aunt Kim.
Frances Bean Cobain’s ex-husband Isaiah Silva’s lawsuit he filed earlier this year alleging that Courtney Love tried to have him murdered alleges that Kurt’s mother Wendy O’Connor told him to watch the Kurt Cobain murder conspiracy film Soaked in Bleach. Below is an excerpt from the lawsuit.
O’CONNOR also told SILVA and SILVA’s family members that she was dissatisfied with the recent documentary “Montage of Heck,” about her late son, and said that she felt manipulated by the film’s director, LOVE, and COBAIN for forcing her to participate in the film, which O’CONNOR claimed was a vindication project for LOVE.
Consequently, O’CONNOR asked to have her scenes taken out of the film prior to its release, but her request was denied by the film’s director, LOVE, and COBAIN. O’CONNOR told the Silvas that she favored a contemporaneously released documentary, “Soaked in Bleach,” which advanced the theory that Kurt Cobain’s death was a murder, not suicide, and that LOVE was a coconspirator in his murder. O’CONNOR implored SILVA and his family to watch “Soaked in Bleach.”
Soaked in Bleach features murder conspiracy theorist Tom Grant, who Courtney Love hired shortly before Kurt Cobain’s death to try to track him down when he was missing. Love denied the claims in the film and pursued legal action against it.
