The Hole frontwoman opened up about being perceived as "difficult" in a new interview with 'The Standard'
Courtney Love never aspired to be "liked."
In an interview with The Standard, the Hole frontwoman, 59, opened up about being perceived as more prickly to the public.
"People used to say that I was so difficult,’ Love told the outlet. "They said I was disagreeable. Yes, I am completely disagreeable and I’m never going to apologize for that. I always wanted to be known as a bitch. Being liked was never my thing."
She went onto explain that her late husband Kurt Cobain "wanted to be liked," however she wasn't looking for that same praise.
"He was able to hide behind me, but then I got hated. Then Kurt died, and the hatred towards me reached a completely new level. I did not plan for that," Love said.
The "Doll Parts" singer added: "I had a bitch capacity and I was cool with not being liked. I saw Bob Dylan in Don’t Look Back and he didn’t want to be liked and I thought, yeah, I want to be like that."

I think he thinks she inspired it, but he doesn’t say she actually killed him.
“I think he thinks she inspired it, but he doesn’t say she actually killed him.”
But he did not have a gun.
That bruise thing is based on a real incident. At some MTV awards Kurt Loder was interviewing Madonna, and Courtney crashed it and she fell over and there were giant bruises high up her leg.
Mission accomplished douchebag.
I stay away from people like that for one reason, because when they get me angry they could be in danger... And quick.
Did I mention I'm an Irish American?... And it shows?
Bruises usually are caused by “real incidents”.
I’ve never tried it, but I think injecting drugs can cause it.
Yeah, I guess it could if they miss a vein.
Love these lyrics from “The New Radicals” song “You Get What You Give” -
“Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You’re all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around, we’ll kick your asses”
How unutterably sad

Did she actually write that?
Right, he blames her for pushing him into addiction and suicide. He blames her for his death, but doesn’t claim she murdered him.
Dave was the third most talented person in Nirvana.
By that standard, Courtney is highly successful.
One time Algore came up to Courtney and told her that he was a big fan.
Courtney then asked Algore to name one of her songs, and of course, he couldn’t.
LOL - so am I. Slainte! 🍻
M*A*S*H - the TV Show:
Frank Burns - “I didn’t come here to be liked”.
Radar - “You sure came to the right place”
Apparently she did write “Celebrity Skin” with some help for the music in the studio from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins).
