The title of America's Most Hated Woman, much like an endless, horrifically misogynistic game of hot potato, is constantly tossed back and forth. Today, it's Becky with the good hair. But once upon a time (and every few months or so), it was Courtney Love, Hole frontwoman, kinderwhore pioneer, and the much-vilified widow of Kurt Cobain. I was going to say she's been blamed for everything short of murdering Kurt Cobain, but nope, that's a pretty popular conspiracy theory.

Well, a newly unearthed letter written by a royally pissed off Kurt Cobain might put a stop to the eternal high-school production of The Crucible that is Courtney Love's life—or at least lead to an intermission. Written in 1992, Cobain claps back directly at the Vanity Fair article that claimed Love was using heroin continuously while pregnant and initiated the pop cultural burning of her effigy, definitely dumped a fuckton of gasoline on it.

The letter is addressed to Cobain's then-record boss David Geffen.

Read the full transcript, from i-D, and then gaze upon the original below:

Dear David Geffen,



Hi my name is Kurt Cobain, Im the lead singer, guitar, and songwriter for the band NIRVANA. Supposedly, I've made your company a lot of money. Oh well, it never was a goal of mine to be part of the mainstream corporate world, but once I entered it I realized that there are other employees especially at DGC who are as honest and sincere about music and have basically the same values as I have. I've never met you I guess because Ive never wanted to. Kind of a big boss phobia of mine but something so severely defremating [sic] towards my family has come up in an article in Vanity Fair that has forced me to decide on breaking up my band. The article suggests that Courtney and I have been taking heroin continuously throughout her pregnancy which is not true. Courtney found out she was pregnant within the first month of our drug binge. She stopped using and has since been visiting Danny Goldberg's pediatrician on a regular basis. The doctors prognosis is that our child is in excellent health and theres no need to worry about anything. But this article has outright accused my wife of all kinds of hideously vile things to the point where Ive never seen such a crucifixion in a magazine. The woman's entire objective was to harm Courtney and now after you read the article (I hope) something may be done about it. You may not even be aware that Courtney's band Hole is also on DGC. They are a very important band to be heard especially my wife's openness and embrace of women's rights and homosexuality. This person who wrote the article Lynn Hirschberg must have her karma broken. Some way. Its either her or me. I love my wife and soon to be new daughter too much to let everyones low opinions of us ruin our lives together. I am now in rehab going on 18 days and Im really looking forward to having a family at this point fuck NIRVANA. Ive never admitted to using drugs in articles because I don't want my fans to do the same. We are capable of displaying a healthy attitude before our audience and the next record is easily as good as the last one, but Im so extremely pissed off about this piece of trash journalism that I'll lay anything on the line for the love of my wife and daughter.



Sincerely Kurt Cobain."









Love has since admitted to using heroin once during her pregnancy in documentary Montage of Heck. Meanwhile, as the Daily Mail reports, you can purchase Cobain's letter for the paltry sum of $30,000 on May 21 and use it for whatever weird voodoo-appropriating shit you've been cooking up since 1994.
