Courtney Love Quits Twitter With Daughter Frances Bean Cobain

Just a few days after Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Twittered a tirade against actress Ali Lohan, Frances and her mother Courtney Love have apparently deleted their Twitter accounts. It comes as a shock to those who follow Love, who's notorious for her rapid-fire Tweet rants about topics spanning lawyers, mortgage fraud, advice on fixing FICO scores, alleged theft of couture and trust funds, hackers, Ryan Adams and Russell Brand.

"On the one hand, I don't know what to do with myself. The internet is a lonely, eerily quiet place without Courtney screaming about hackers and lawyers and whatever else," the anonymous brain behind CLTranslated on Twitter tells Spinner. "But on the other hand, I can't imagine she can stop herself from returning to the internet very, very soon. She'll be back."

For those who missed Frances Bean's open letter to Lohan, it's a scathing attack on the 15-year-old wannabe starlet, sister of Lindsay, after Frances observed Ali enjoying the VIP treatment at Fashion Week in Paris recently. "Your [sic] not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name," blasted Cobain, 17. "Your idea of fame isn't fame. It's infamy. You want to be famous? Work your ass off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one."

"You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous," Frances wrote. "It will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit [sic] into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt and Jon Gosselin who, I'm sure, will steal your money whilst there ... People like you, Ali Lohan, are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed."

But Bean wasn't finished. "You blatently [sic] don't care how your recognized, it's [sic] the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea," she continued. "Well, I'm [sic] ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death than be assoicated [sic] with the kind of career [sic] you're trying to make for yourself [sic]."

Twitter speculation on the reason for the sudden departure ranges from outright hacking to a Lohan-supporter backlash against Frances Bean. Love's departure from Twitter comes just days after she Tweeted her mix of nerves and adoration after sharing the stage with Bono and Gavin Friday at New York's Carnegie Hall.

poor Frances Bean

maybe if Kurt Cobain was there to raise her she would be a nicer human being but really Courtney Love raising her probably wasn't good. even Kurt Cobain's sister and mother raising her would've been better. poor girl. I'm sure she needed her father and I wouldn't be happy if I was her. I respect that she thinks these celebrities are annoying and talentless and have you seen her art? she amazing. and she's going to college which I'm happy for her. I'm also in college and I'm studying to be an artist/designer. even if she was a vile human being, I'm sure she wouldn't have been if Kurt Cobain was there for her but Courtney Love is pretty vile herself even though I still respect her. but I just feel sorry for Frances. I wouldn't like to be her. she must have no one there for her. and I hope she finds someone in college to marry and have a good life after. but seriously poor girl. I think the psychotherapy might help her be a better person. I'm also not a great person and need of psychotherapy. but good luck Frances! and find some people your age to help you. I hope she has cousins. it's too bad she doesn't have any step brothers or step sisters. I feel sorry for her. and I wish her the best! :) good luck at college Frances and study and work hard! Kurt Cobain's been my hero and my brothers and cousins hero since back in the early 90s. good luck though Frances and be well! :)

you can tell someone to do when it comes to doing what's right and living appropriately, frances is right, donna just shut up, you're such a victim of media manipulation, it's nice to know that frances can recognize these things and admit to them also. she's so much like her parents, only slightly wiser than her mother

funnily enough i USED to know her too. we ceased contact after all this kicked off. frances is an ignorant hypocritical bitch who thinks she is way better than everyone else. she needs to be brought back down to earth, she is 17 years old (just) and thinks that just because her father and mother are/were average rock stars, she owns the world. the latest on her mother being "horrible" i think is a load of bullshit. trust frances to over dramatise everything AS USUAL, whos mother payed nearly $500,000 for a sweet 16th birthday party (which i was at ,by the way) that thousands of 16 year olds all over the world would kill for? she is a spoilt, vile human being and im so glad we are not friends anymore. i pity people that actually feel sorry for frances and see her as a genuine human being, she caused me great pain in my life for months and is nothing but a mean hearted attention seeker who thinks she is a thousand times better than everyone else.

OMG!! ---- are you that stupid!?? AVERAGE .. Rockstars? Her dad is an icon and will live forever on immortal. not only for his dying but for the uncountable works he did while alive that are brilliant. Her mother in her own right at least followed her dreams and there was no stopping her. She knew what she wanted and went after it very young. Not many people have that inner drive.. how many things will you sit and think "shoulda, coulda, woulda" she wont do that because she accomplished them. yes she's a mess... however you dont have to live it so quit being a ealous, ugly tramp

Yeah

ok I really have no life at all, I am self confused internet music nerd, so if your going to have a go at me for reading all this plus all the comments it wont work because i know.
Francis sounds smart as to what i know she doesnt want to be famous by accoisiation, and i havent really seen her do so, there is no excuse for your actions but anyone has the right to voice thier opinion over the internet, like me for example i am some gay 17 year old who isnt famous and really has too much time on their hands and yet i sit here writting a long and detailed opinion that probably no one will read. At least she isnt out and about with her knickers down vomiting on the side walk like some other celebarties who dont really do anything to be famous,,, my conclusin ... she is just some 17 year old who probably knows this girl and well bitchyness in 17 year olds is pretty normail same with some type of rebelion type thing and stuff. She is yet to mark in life maybe we should wait and see what happens to judge,,, but wait who are we really to judge we are all human and all the same we have just as much right as anyone to have an opinion. thats my bullshit rant for today!
leave her alone she is only a 17 year old girl let her have her feud with other 17 year old girls

LOL... ROFLMFAO-- boy is it ugly of you to be sooooo ealous of her!! She deserves every penny she has and also she sure isn't like Paris and the other twits who just go to lunch w/their dogs in their purses and hang out at barsmaking sure they're photographed. She is actually attending college which is more than I can say for the rest of them SHIT Lindsay cried like a 2 yr old over 30 days in ail and fired her lawyer to get one to get her out! WHY the special treatment for these embarrassment poor excuses of young girls who need a slap of reality in the face and not get out of trouble everytime. VITTU -- Paris couldn't pass a 5th grade math test nor could she look at a blank globe and tell you where different countries were. Francis is GORGEOUS and she's very intelligent.. very. Imagine having to take care of your mother from your earliest memories instead of say your mom like hmmm Lindsays who takes her money as if she did the acting. Lindsays good for porn now. No one can trust her in Hollywood! Paris cant sing or act her way out of a paperbag and even the rest are a joke. Christina A says she doesnt know who lady Gaga is then comes out with her new album JUST like Lady Gaga.. how unoriginal! so leave Francis alone she's done damn well for having to hear all her life about her dad, live with her mom who she loves but she even left on her own before. You are so green with envy you look like the grinch! Shame on you! Karmas a bitch look out!

Just how do you know Frances anyway, Donna? Besides, she's a teenager. All teenagers are immature and self-centered to some extent. Spoken from a 17 year old.
Not saying that she's right in attacking a stranger, but really, lots of teens do the same thing.

J, you shouldn't assume that Frances is a saint just because Kurt was. She's her own person, just because she shares DNA with Kurt Cobain doesn't mean she's inherited any of his personality.

Donna, I think you're being inappropriate by being so mean on a public forum (in fact it strikes me as hypocrisy, aren't you acting the same way as Frances?) but at the same time, you probably know more about her than any of us. Unless you're lying, and we all know that's very easy to do on the internet.

As for the subject of Courtney Love quitting Twitter... Maybe for a while, but I think she'll be back. She's going to miss ranting.

i am not being mean..i am only stating the truth...sometimes the truth hurts...hopefully francis will mature and not be so negative and spiteful in the future...for now...she is...end of story

I don't think J was suggesting that but rather suggesting we listen to Kurt's words.

What I really want to say is this:
Donna,
You are sooo full of crap! If you knew her personally, you wouldn't need to comment to her on here. If you knew her personally, you wouldn't have changed your story twice in your very first post (ie. "I know people that are close to her" followed by "I've seen her in person" followed by "if you read this frances..you know i've told you this before...yes...i've told you this many times"). Pick one Donna. Do you know people that know her, did you see her once, or do you know her sooo well you have given her life advice many times, yet have to comment on here to send her a message now?
It's people like you that lie and gossip and make a mountain out of a molehill that disgust me.

go frances. did any of you watch ali's "christmas magic" video? it actually made me hate christmas a little. and anyone who makes me hate christmas should probably be "death paneled" via obama's healthcare bill. ali lohan is simply a skidmark on one of hollywood's dirtiest pairs underpants and will likely not be leaving a stain.

I can't tell you how sad it is to read all this negative stuff on Frances. She's coming across as such a hateful person...nothing like Kurt. He once said, "Don't believe everything that you read..." Why are you guys taking what she said so personal? I get a feeling it's all just something going on between Frances & Ali, and I'm sure it's more than any reader of the general public is privy to.

I have to wonder what kind of person Frances Bean Cobain is since she blocks people who are just trying to talk to her and get to know her. I've seen her lash out against people for no good reason who just wanted to talk to her on Twitter. It seems like she thinks she's better than everyone else.
