  (#7) She Lost Custody Of Her Daughter On Three Occasions

  In 1992, when Love's daughter Frances Cobain was a newborn, accounts of Love's heroin use during pregnancy prompted LA Protective Services to briefly remove Cobain from her home. The child was returned after the investigation was dropped.

  After Love was arrested in 2003 for attacking her manager's home, a nasty battle ensued in which the courts awarded temporary custody of Cobain to Kurt Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor. Officials noted Love's attempted burglary, overdose in front of her daughter, and suicide threat. It would take two years and protracted legal battles involving some of LA's most prominent attorneys before Love was legally reunited with her daughter.

  Then, in 2009, Cobain requested a restraining order against her mother, and attempted to appoint her grandmother and her aunt as her guardians. She was successful. Love responded by attacking Cobain on her Facebook page.

  (#12) She Claimed Britney Spears Was Molested By Her Father

  Love's daughter Frances Cobain once said her mother should be banned from social media. This might have prevented a 2009 incident in which Love incoherently took to Facebook to allege that Britney Spears's father molested his daughter repeatedly:

  "britneys dad molested her , imagine the father that molested you owning you for slavery while your forced to sing songs picked for thier sexual content every night, insane right? i have it on First had authority, and fight as hard as she is and does she still didnt pull that card, its a pride thing i can relate to, However they want to play dirty, lets go, Im SO not affraid of the little trolls who hit this when i was f***** up who are called lawyers. lets GO."

  (#6) She Threw A Lit Candle At A Woman And Dumped Whiskey On Her

  In October 2004, Love went to the home of her ex-boyfriend Jim Barber and attacked a woman she found inside. Kristin King, the then-romantic partner of Barber, said she was sleeping in Barber's living room when Love entered. Seeing King on the couch, Love picked up a whiskey bottle and dumped it on King. She then threw a lit candle, sat on King, and dug her fingernails into King's skin.

  "She was very aggressive, angry, just vicious," King said.

  Love plead guilty to misdemeanor assault, was given three years of probation, and was forced to pay restitution to King.

  (#4) She Attacked Her Manager's House At Three In The Morning

  One early morning at around 3 a.m. in October 2003, Love forced her daughter Frances Cobain to accompany her to the Los Angeles home of her boyfriend and manager Jim Barber. Once they arrived, Love, presumably enraged by the presence of another woman in the house, began smashing windows, attempting to break in, and screaming that she would burn the residence down. Barber's children were present at the time.

  Love was detained and taken to a police station, and determined to be under the influence of an intoxicant or drug. After posting bond, she was released. But Love's day didn't end there. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., Love was rushed to an emergency room for treatment of a potential drug overdose from Oxycontin.

  (#1) She Used Heroin During Her Pregnancy

  For years, Love vehemently denied she had used heroin during her 1992 pregnancy. The rumor started after a Vanity Fair article quoted her talking about doing heroin "for a couple of months" while expecting. Love responded to the criticism by claiming her quotes were inaccurate distortions, and later threatened the author of the piece at an Oscars after-party in 1995.

  Love eventually admitted to using heroin during her pregnancy, although she claimed that she had used it only once. The truth came out in Montage of Heck, a 2015 documentary about the life of Kurt Cobain.

  (#11) Her Daughter Says She Exists On Drugs, Sugar, And Cigarettes

  Love's daughter, Frances Cobain, outlined her mother's consumption of prescription drugs and dangerous habits in a 2009 request for a restraining order:

  "[She has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on... Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes. She rarely eats... She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire (which she has done at least three times) that will threaten our lives."
