Love Made Overdose "Fun" for Frances Bean
Courtney Love comforted her 11-year-old daughter during her recent
drug overdose, by trying to make the experience "fun". The 39-year-
old former Hole frontwoman accidentally overdosed on narcotic
Oxycontin at her Beverly Hills home earlier this month - hours after
being arrested for being under the influence of a controlled
substance. Love regrets that Frances Bean, her daughter with late
Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain, was with her when she overdosed, but
maintains she tried to make the experience as relaxed as possible -
as they waited for an ambulance to arrive. She says, "That's the only
time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little
crises. I made it fun. I said it was going to be gross and I was
going to have to make myself throw up but it was going to be OK."
Since the incident, Frances has been placed in the care of Cobain's
mother Wendy O'Connor - after the singer lost a bitter custody
battle. O'Connor has questioned Love's ability as a mother - but the
singer insists the overdose was a minor glitch. She adds, "I'm not on
some downward spiral. I'm not on narcotics. I'm fine. I just want my
daughter back."
