Courtney Love took to Instagram to criticise Dave Grohl over a royalties agreement whilst accusing Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor of abuse in a since-deleted post shared on Sunday, June 13th.
In the post, Courtney Love detailed a royalties dispute between her and surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselci. According to Love, she signed a document that “effectively” gives Grohl and Novoselic “my descendants money in perpetuity.”
“I was so broken,” she wrote. “So scarred, so exhausted by him, I just fucking signed it. But it’s a lie. So I’m unsigning it.”
Courtney went on to accuse Grohl of deflecting the “chaos and fury over Kurt’s death” onto her, whilst he “enriched and continues to enrich himself, gorging on Kurt’s fortune and Kurt’s goodwill.”
“I’m over being made small. And being ‘forced’ to ‘just drop it’ when it affects every generation of my descendants,” she continued. “Nicest guy in Rock? No.
“I’ve had enough of this 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”
Elsewhere in the post, Courtney Love directed her furor towards Trent Reznor, alleging that she and her Hole bandmates witnessed “systemic abuse of kids, girls as young as 12, by him and his crew.”

“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,” she continued. Sexually, spiritually, financially.”
The PRP reports that the post featured an excerpt from Nine Inch Nails’ music video for ‘Starfuckers, Inc’ “which allege that thinly veiled shots against her were featured – or intended to be featured – in past music videos from the Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails.” You can read the full post below.
