honestly I think she can be a toxic narcissist and a victim of misogyny at the same time lol based off the You're Wrong About podcast it seems like this piece was hugely exaggerated for ~drama~.

also weird that it's considered inappropriate for her to want more money than Nirvana... that's such a petty thing to get mad about and stinks of "angry male music critic who calls Hole ~girl music~" lol

The sexism and rumors about her def came out in this piece. You can’t fabricate her own quotes, though.

[mzgrottesca]

That's not rly the part of the interview that gets disputed though. Half of this piece was just quotes from random people who knew them, basically just repeating rumors and gossip.

The podcast episode is a bit long since it delves into her life pre Cobain etc but the part where they talk about this piece is rly enlightening, I look at it a bit more critically now than I used to.

her early life is so interesting.

Her life really is fascinating. She's most likely the granddaughter of Marlon Brando too!

Totally agree.

amen. people want to say kurt wrote courtney's songs (which, lol, no man no matter how ~sensitive/"woke" could've written those lyrics) forgetting that eric erlandson had been there from the beginning and is fully accomplished musician in his own right and one of the main creative forces in hole.
