Courtney Love revealed in the new authorized documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck that her desire to cheat may have triggered Kurt Cobain’s 1994 suicide attempts.
The documentary, authorized by O’Connor, as well as Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, and his daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, was the most painfully detailed document to date of the singer’s life, New York Post reported.
It examines his troubled youth, growing up in the logging town of Aberdeen, Wash., in a way that artfully melds Cobain’s journals, voice recordings and drawings.
Life under the media microscope added to his sense of alienation, particularly after journalist Lynn Hirschberg wrote a 1992 Vanity Fair profile that alleged Love used heroin while pregnant.
Love actually admited to the drug use in the movie but at the time, the story left Cobain feeling “violated” and resulted in Frances being briefly removed from the couple’s custody.
Love also offered a surprising new revelation in the movie, confessing that she considered having an affair, although she never cheated on him but Cobain sensed the possibility of her straying, and it may have triggered his March 1994 suicide attempt.
But as engrossing as ‘Montage of Heck’ was, with its compelling interviews and unprecedented access, Cobain’s friends and collaborators claim it’s far from the whole story. (ANI)
