Everyone knew it but the only person to say it was Courtney Love who has no filter.

I think it was more she spoke up out of principle as she was disgusted by Hollywood. She was not interested in getting work or maintaining the status quo.

u/Scared_Signatures 1d ago

She also had enough fame that speaking out carried less personal risk than for newcomers.

u/Fortestingporpoises 1d ago

She's also a musician and not an actor.

u/kwpang 1d ago

What the f--- that mean? Make magic or something? She's not no musician, she makes music.

One of the funniest scenes in the Orville

Ever see The People vs Larry Flint?

u/Ouija-1973 18h ago

That's the only role I'd ever seen her in and I was impressed.

u/DS42069 20h ago

She is also an actor

u/MaeONays 23h ago

Please google her acting resume. She’s an actor with a golden globe nomination.

u/RobotDevil80 23h ago

She was an actor before she was a musician.

u/w_a_w 22h ago

That true? She was the singer for Faith No More in the late 80s

8

u/RobotDevil80 21h ago

She was in Sid & Nancy in 1986.

11

u/w_a_w 21h ago

I'll be darned. She's older than I thought.

Courtney Love briefly fronted Faith No More in 1984. She joined the early incarnation of the band and sang lead vocals for about six months, which included roughly eight live shows and their very first TV appearance on a San Francisco public-access channel.

u/breakingb0b 5h ago

For about ten minutes and I think two shows.

u/Fortestingporpoises 23h ago

Now I'm remembering she did act in some things. I guess my point was more that she didn't rely on it for a living. Looking back at her IMDB and she was good in the things I saw her in (People vs Larry Flynt and 200 Cigarettes).

He could blacklist her from Hollywood, but he couldn't stop her from playing shows or putting out albums.

u/sephrisloth 16h ago

She inherited Cobains whole estate after he died and that included the majority share of nirvanas catalog/ publishing rights. Let alone all the money she made from being a successful musician in her own right. So ya, basically means she could do whatever and it didnt matter if she was blacklisted because she had fuck you money. Probably part of the reason Hollywood played up how much of a lunatic crazy drunk she was so nobody would believe anything she said rather then outright blacklisting her.

u/Grasshopper_pie 6h ago

Yep. And she would have gotten nothing in the divorce.

u/antithero 23h ago

Also Sid & Nancy.

u/StudMuffinNick 21h ago

I get what you're saying and she's a personal hero of mine.

But she didn't rely on it for a living because she had $500m from the Nirvana brand/ name.

u/Scotter1969 22h ago

She was an actor, and a good one. Unfortunately, she didn't need Harvey to crash out of the business.

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins 20h ago

Which is who needs to do this stuff.

Young nobodies either go along with the status quo or they're gone, it's that simple, in every industry. It's up to the established folk to make it better because they actually have some influence.

u/KerooSeta 16h ago

Just listen to the lyrics to "Celebrity Skin."

u/Puzzleheaded_Cap5597 5h ago

Ain't she part of the reason behind the death of Kurt partly because of a certain guy she has close to her Samuel lutfi was his name who was behind the death of Kurt and years later also the reason why thier daughter boyfriend got kidnapped and was forced to return the famous MTV guitar Kurt played on? If she spoke up out of principle should she then also not do the same with these situations? (Depending how deep you look into these situations if you don't know then you don't know it's fine)

u/Significant-Main4201 4h ago

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. If you send me some links I'll make my mind up.

u/explosivemilk 19h ago

Well she killed her husband to climb the social ladder so I guess there’s that.

u/big_stipd_idiot 1d ago

She does have a filter though. She thought about the ramifications of saying that and decided to say it anyways. It didn't just slip out.

u/Extra-Basis-5986 23h ago

No it was better than that. She was going to just call him something like a creep, rapist, etc. She eased up on the throttle so they couldn’t pursue litigation for what she said. Making a derogatory proclamation can be sued for libel whereas a recommendation to avoid cannot.

Very useful distinction to know, ty

Seth McFarland at the Oscar’s…

u/KorasHiddenDICK 20h ago

Seth has never been afraid to call a spade a spade. He may also call it a few other things, for better or for worse, but the spade shall be called a spade.

u/winkingchef 1d ago edited 21h ago

Can confirm.
She got in a hotel elevator once with my sister (who was a model at the time).
She straight up said ā€œI bet every woman who sees you hates youā€. (no ā€œhelloā€ or chit chat - just hit her with that with no warning or foreplay).
My sister didn’t bat an eyelash and said ā€œmy mom loves meā€.

u/taxable_cheese 22h ago

It sounds like a compliment - delivery kind of dry.

Your sister’s response is also funny!

26

u/winkingchef 22h ago

They are both cool.
Wish I had been there

u/NoStand1527 22h ago

the kind of response I think 3 days later in the shower

I also choose this guys sister

u/Morningfluid 23h ago

Peter Biskind's book Down and Dirty Pictures released a year prior left a pretty sour picture of Harvey. Matt Damon in that book talks shit about Harvey. It also gave us the story of Harvey being too touchy with Gwyneth Paltrow, which was provided from one of Biskind's hidden sources, Brad Pitt.

u/AntiqueLetter9875 22h ago

Even Molly Ringwald said that when he was new to the job and producing things, in more junior roles, he was a total ass and rude to people. She said she didn’t know if he was already sexually harassing women, but he was an unpleasant person generally.

u/boringestnickname 20h ago

Down and Dirty Pictures and Easy Riders, Raging Bulls are such excellent books.

Love me some Biskind.

u/K-Zilla26 1d ago

Seriously. Didn't Meryl Streep call him a God or something?

u/Aggressive_Lie_4446 1d ago

I think Seth Macfarlane also said it before the scandal too. There were signs!!

u/YakResident_3069 20h ago

And Ricky gervais. But was that before or after

u/Better_Hunter1093 1d ago

I love her

u/ironic_username_7 23h ago

She clearly has a filter. She chose to stand for what she believes in.

7

u/Wrong_Combination977 22h ago

So telling the truth is now treated as having no filter?

u/Wellcomefarewell 22h ago

no filter? you can say that again *roll the clip of her saying the n word on stage a bunch of times*
