Kurt Cobain's ex-girlfriend Mary Lord has lashed out against Cobain's widow Courtney Love in a pair of profanity-laden Facebook posts.
Lord, who according to Spin was involved with Cobain before the late Nirvana star began dating Love, called Love a "c--t," writing "I HATE her" and accusing the Hole frontwoman of physically assaulting her.
"To Courtney and her sycophants and lemmings...," Lord started her Jan. 31 post. "I will not go down without a f**king fight to set the record straight with that [c--t]. I honestly mean that. I HATE her, and why didn't I say anything back then? I was too scared. And also, out of respect for Kurt's daughter who was a child."
Lord went on to write that she "never said a word out of fear of a flame war with all her Courtney-tard followers. I just sat, silentely [sic], and watched her lie about me (and everything and everyone else. She built her world, and manipulated other people's lives by being the best LIAR and best actress in the world. Something that twisted and [f---ed] with a lot of good people."
Alternative Press, which wrote that the Massachusetts native Lord "has never been one to seek attention from her past relationship with the singer," noted that she took to Facebook again on Wednesday for a much longer diatribe about Love.
"If she was just some random chick that was going around on her facebook or my space or something saying [s-t] about another chick- that is one thing," part of the post read, according to AP. "But she was one of the biggest pop stars in the world at the time, and everyone loved her-the 'grieving widow', etc etc....so, the dynamic and the impact is a lot greater regarding the emotional toll , the incredible sadness, fear, and feeling of absolute powerlessness she made me feel. Knowing millions of people were reading her interviews, etc, and all the rotten things she was saying about me. All untrue. I was just a small town nobody busker who loved songs and friends, etc....and suddenly (very publicly), I was a fictional character she made up. She made me feel like a frightened child after she emotionally abused and violated me. She threatened me, she punched me, kicked me, chased me, and nearly had me killed that night on Sunset. And then, it continued until Kathleen and others got the guts to press charges when similar assaults happened to them. I should have pressed charges long ago. But I was too scared and didn't want to bring any attention to it. I just wanted her to leave me alone. So, I carried this around with me for a very long time. I want to let it go, and I am letting it go now. I am letting it go publicly, just like she tore me apart with her lies publicly. I don't know what could make a person be so cruel. I don't understand that kind of person or that kind of thinking. Anyway, thank you for listening. And again, some of you have asked me about the Cobain 'case' etc, and what I think about it, etc.....I don't really have much to say about it. It's not my place to say anything. I have no idea what happened. All I know is that they were two very sick people at the time. Sometimes I wonder if her particular kind of sickness was just plain dark sociopaths narcissism. Or, if there is such a thing as evil. And him, just a guy that loved music and wanted a family, and loved his daughter, but maybe couldn't take it any more."
