Courtney Love Admits She Used Heroin During Pregnancy

After her blogging binges, it's amazing Courtney Love has any good stories left. Oh, who are we kidding? She's got a bevy of 'em and here's another: Love admits that she told daughter Frances Bean that she used heroin while she was pregnant, a story Love denied when it was first reported in Vanity Fair. "We went on a binge," she told VF writer Lynn Hirschberg in 1992. "I did heroin for a couple of months." Those months happened to coincide with her first trimester.

"My daughter knows I did drugs in my first trimester of pregnancy," she tells British Elle magazine. "She weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces when she was born and she was healthy." Love then insists that she and Kurt Cobain were model caregivers, saying, "We were excellent parents and I say that despite pretty much always having an edge on. Frances bonded very well with her father, at least in the first year-and-a-half of her life."

But, as with every Love interview, she doesn't stop there. Love goes on to discuss her weight loss methods, including her doctor-denied requests for a gastric band, and the fact that she has a "very satisfactory sexual life."

For those who've ever been embarrassed by their mother, think of Frances. You'll feel better.

Yeah, they were great parents. One killed himself when he had an infant daughter and the other used a very highly addictive drug while pregnant. She's a nasty ho.

Ummmmm....was this supposed to be shocking??? I'm sure some may agree with me when I relay that she was always a drug addict. And still probably is.

Robert, I'm sorry your mother drank and smoked when she was carrying you, but it's hardly the same thing as shooting up. And it is NOT common practice. Not to any mother that wants a healthy baby. Courtney was very lucky her daughter was alright.

Although your comments are well-intentioned, you are misinformed. I have been a health-practitioner for 30 plus years and alcohol causes many more long lasting, permanents deficits than heroin in the fetus/baby. FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) is the number one cause of mental retardation in this country (has been for a long time). Why do you think the pregnancy warnings were placed on alcoholic beverages approx. 20 years ago? Yes, babies born to heroin addicts are addicted at birth and must be titrated down slowly from the opiate. However, there is no evidence of long lasting damage in these children or low birth weight. The primary problem is when they go home with the parent(s) if this happens and the lifestyle of the addict and the total self-absorbtion of same (certainly not conducive to bonding and rearing an emotionally healthy child).

I can't believe that she would endanger her child's life like that!!!! It is really an outrage for someone like her do something like that! They should arrest her. I don't know if there is a statue of limitations, but whatever county it is in, they should look into it.

Its statute of limitations, theres no statue. Seinfeld reference anyone? I dont blame her for shooting up when if she really didnt know she was pregnant during her first trimester, and i believe she really didnt know, because ive seen kurt comment on it in an interview. However she did have Kurt killed, the evidence is clear as day. As for how no police or detectives seem to care enough to reopen the case and finally bring justice for Kurt I do not understand.

I'm a middle school teacher in a fairly impoverished community. I would estimate that about 80% of my students have at least one parent who is addicted to meth, alcohol, heroine, or crack. In many cases, both parents are addicts and are completely incapable of caring for their children. This is a plague in our society and we simply don't have the resources to deal with it. I really wish we could offer cash incentives to addicts to be chemically or surgically sterilized, but then the ACLU would claim it was racist because so many of these people happen to also belong to minority groups. I also blame any religion that sends the message that birth control is anti-Christian. Addicts should not be having babies. PERIOD!

That is a shame knowing so many of the people which you spoke about are White folks.
