Courtney Love goes on anti-semitic rant

SPL69191_007

Talking to Courtney Love always guarantees a crazy time. The woman has no concept of reality, propriety, or even the very basics of mental stability. And it seems like she hasn’t really suffered a lot of consequences for the crazy things she says, because everyone just assumes she’s so messed up that she can’t be held accountable. Which is sort of unfair. Love just went off on an anti-Semitic rant to Heeb magazine – which is Jewish. Ironically, so is Courtney, at least in terms of her family lineage.

COURTNEY Love claims she’s not taking drugs anymore, but you wouldn’t know it from comments she made in the Jewish magazine Heeb. Love, whose mother is Jewish but who describes herself as Buddhist, says of ex-husband Kurt Cobain’s legacy: “Every time you buy a Nirvana record, part of that money is not going to Kurt’s child, or to me, it’s going to a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks, it’s going to lawyers who are also bankers . . .”

The former Hole singer also mused on why she’s given up playing in an all-girl band: “Like, there are [bleep]ing riot grrls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that’s all really lovely, but the music blows.” On why she won’t date actors: “They’re [bleep]. They’re women.” And on being a parent: “I’m more like, ‘You’re not going to do that, so [bleep] off, or I’m taking your computer, and your [bleep]ing, you know, BlackBerry.’ “

I can’t imagine many other celebrities being allowed to get away saying and doing the things Courtney Love gets away with. Maybe she’s not taking illegal drugs anymore, but it seems like she’s not taking some very necessary psych drugs either. The woman is seriously off-kilter and needs to do something to keep herself in check.

I’m not surprised to hear that’s how Courtney talks to her daughter Francis Bean. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have a mom that’s still acting like a messed-up, rebellious teenager. Part of me feels sorry for Courtney, but a bigger part feels enraged at most of the things she says. She often writes these rambling, completely incoherent blogs on her MySpace page, but generally speaking they’re so crazy it’s hard to even pick out things to be offended by. Here she’s clear enough to know that the woman needs some serious, serious help. And should consider shutting up until she gets some.

Here’s Courtney at the Planet Blue store in Malibu with a friend on January 4th. She doesn’t look quite as bad as usual, I’ll give her that. Images thanks to Splash.

    Okay, you sound like a disapproving maiden aunt in your comments about Courtney Love’s child-rearing skills. Tut-tut, cursing and all that. She’s right about lots of girl bands and probably about dating actors. As for the profanity, I suppose you say “dad-gum car” and “mother-jumping computer,” but lots of use more earthy words. And speaking of words, I KNOW you hate to be proof-read, but maybe you could spell the headline so that it looks a bit less like she’s against semen?
    Cuz I don’t think she is.

  3. AnnaClaire says:

    Golly, I wrote “use” instead of “us.” Darnsy-darn it. My proofreading is really poopy, too, so I should not criticize you, and I think I agree that those dum-dum cuss words make a girl sound like she’s “fast.”

  4. Trillion says:

    Courtney’s thought process: Will this stupid statement get me some press? Yes? Well, OK then! Bring me a microphone!
    As far as generalizing female musicians, how about showing us something good herself? She doesn’t have the chops. Just the ambition.

  5. Anna says:

    Please fix the spelling error in the title of the post.

  6. aleach says:

    well shes just trying her hardest to stay relevant, huh?
    i have to say, i liked her in Hole, so maybe she should stop writting crazy-ass blogs & giving stupid interviews (why is is giving interviews anyways? does she have something to promote? i mean, she really has nothing interesting to say…) and get back to her music career.

  7. Sickitten says:

    Same old story. Whenever people are having financial problems they blame it on the Jews. Never taking into account their own wild spending habits. Disgusting.

  8. Me2 says:

    “Maybe she’s not taking illegal drugs anymore, but it seems like she’s not taking some very necessary psych drugs either.”

    ROFLMAO

  9. Susie Leigh says:

    I’m Jewish and I still haven’t received my share of money from the Jewish fund. I keep hearing that I’m automatically entitled to this Jewish money, that it’s my birthright, so where is it? How do I file my claim?

  10. Rhianna says:

    Considering Christ was a Jew, there’s an awful lot of them money hungry Jews out there to be found. Susie, that must be where your share is going – money hungry Christians pretending NOT to be Jews. 😉

    The woman is a danger to society and her child. Someone get the duct tape, and a straight jacket!

  11. Baholicious says:

    The misspelling in the title needs to be fixed: it’s ‘semitic.’

  12. viper says:

    Since when do Jews own the title of semitism? Anyone who is educated and cultured would know and say that ANYONE BORN in the MIDDLE EAST is semitic. So anyone who is born middle eastern are semites. Not just the Jews, seriously I don’t care about the misspelling of semitic. I would worry about the posters knowledge of the actual TERM.

  13. Diva says:

    Courtney plays the game so well.

  14. Susie Leigh says:

    It’s definitely technically incorrect, yeah, but “Semitic” does usually refer to Jews, at least if there’s an “anti-” in front of it. That’s just how its usage has evolved.

  15. Lea Perez says:

    I wish my mother knew that all the money goes to the “Jews” while she was flipping hamburgers from 11pm til 7 am,for 35cents per hour. to raise 4 kids after our father had a stroke and could not work.

  16. Baholicious says:

    @Viper: That is incorrect. Semites are members of the ethnic groups that speak a semitic language, specifically Hebrew and Arabic. So Jews and Arabs are both Semitic peoples. Maltese is also a Semitic language.

  17. Baholicious says:

    Instead of ‘specifically’ I mean ‘eg. Hebrew and Arabic.’ (The edit comment feature doesn’t seem to be enabled)

  18. ak says:

    “Anti-semitic” has a specific meaning through usage. Anyone educated and cultured knows that that’s how words work.

  19. Baholicious says:

    @ak: Anyone familiar with media, lobby groups and political correctness knows that’s how the word works. People who are “educated and cultured” actually know what it means.

  20. viper says:

    Well said baholicious.

  21. breederina says:

    Have one degree of seperation re : Courtney and w/ @Diva on this one. Will add that Courtney is completely insane but also genius when she can focus.

  22. viper says:

    I think it’s shameful to use such a word as a bargining chip the way the media uses it. I mean you don’t see arabs walking around calling half the world anti semites whenever they get bashed. It’s like a guilt trip now that the media uses in favor of a particular group. But it’s not like anyone is calling them out on it either, even though it’s a stupid thing to do. It’s like calling a guy who speaks arabic and born in the middle east anti-semitic he CANT be antisemitic he IS semitic.

  23. Anna says:

    Regardless of the discussion about the definition of the word, I’ve got one question: who do you have to smooch around here to get that blatant spelling mistake corrected? I know it’s a busy day, but that kind of thing is just embarassing. I love this blog, so I feel embarassed by proxy when I see something like that. Especially considering it was spelled correctly in the post.

  24. Mandy says:

    Susie, I’m Jewish too, and I haven’t seen my share either. And my dad actually IS a real-live, honest-to-God Jew banker, but he’s never invited to meetings of the evil Jewish cabal which (held at our top-secret lair hidden deep within the bowels of the Swiss Alps, naturally)! We need to be better organized, or we’ll never be able to infect all the goyim with the bubonic plague!

  25. Mandy says:

    …that “which” should have been “which are,” and placed inside the parentheses. I’m so spacey today…

  26. Yae says:

    anti-semitic??? Oh please, she just said her money goes to a bunch of Jewish bankers. Stop freaking out. Loads of bankers are Jewish.

  27. Baholicious says:

    @Mandy: You better not infect them all or you won’t have any shabbas goys left either. Har-dee-har.

  28. Mark says:

    Celebrities should be sterilized.

  29. e. says:

    she looks good here.

  30. summer says:

    I do not see any anti-semetic rant in here. Come on Jews, stop playing the victim role, and get out of gaza.

  31. Morris says:

    Courtney Love’s remarks made Her look like(using a term My late Grandfather used)an ‘anti-semitic SEMITE’.

  32. fuckyou says:

    Good for her for speaking her mind.

    I cant stand it either…
