Courtney Love has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind. As we reported earlier, the Hole singer recently alleged that the Muppets had "raped" Kurt Cobain's legacy with their rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Love recently stopped by the comments section in a related Gothamist post published two weeks ago to double down on her claim, and more. "So yeah rape is a great word because its so insidious to do this and make me look 'crazy'" she posted under the alias "Rose_OfSharon."

Besides standing by her claim that the Muppets raped Cobain's legacy and claiming that she retains exclusive sync rights to Nirvana's music, she also goes on a lengy rant against Dave Grohl, who has served as her public punching bag for quite some time. Her quotes are excerpted below at length [sic]:

"I never rated him as a total sociopath until i saw the nirvana inc portfolio - graveyards, us beef abattoirs and 1841 nirvana inc liens against one courtney love of memphis, blossom texas and etc that take money out of our bank account, hurts music company is end of music , krist murk slough i assumed daves was 'roswell' but thats just for foo fighters? no it isn't it was for nirvana his 3 % out of all the oeuvre, so he has NO SAY,. his kid is named 'violet' and he si believe a sociopath on an entirely other level the daughter named 'violet' doh. he is obsessed not so much with me with his hatred of kurt- he knew kurt never wanted to be disneyfied."

Despite the fact that something this outspoken is patently Love, it would have been easy to dismiss this as fake had she not continued her tirade on her twitter account. There she directed invectives at Jason Segal, Gawker and more.
