Good thing Courtney Love's got such a pronounced independent streak - if she'd listened to her handlers fifteen years ago, she wouldn't have a daughter today!
Page Six got their hands on a copy of Bumping Into Geniuses, a new memoir from former Warner Brothers Records CEO and Nirvana manager Danny Goldberg, which claims that, during the Hole singer's pregnancy with her daughter Frances Bean, friends grew so concerned about the consequences of her heroin abuse that they gently tried to talk her out of having the baby.
Goldberg tells the story of one of Love's visits to Cedars-Sinai's chemical dependency program, where a doctor attempted to give "clinical" advice to the singer about how it "was not a great idea to have a baby while dealing with addiction."
Courtney, of course, exploded, shrieking "You're not telling me to have a [bleep]-ing abortion, are you? I mean I'm pro-choice, but that doesn't mean that anyone has the right to tell me to have a [bleep]ing abortion."
When the doctor went on to suggest that the shock of rehabilitation and withdrawl might negatively affect the six-week-old fetus growing insider her, the singer adopted a "confrontational" posture, insisting on seeing medical proof substantiating the doctor's claims. After the doctor eventually relented, admitting that kicking junk probaly wouldn't damage the baby physically, Love allegedly "towered over the doctor seated at his desk" with a triumphant look on her face.
Needless to say, the rest is history: Courtney went on to kick smack, Frances Bean was born on August 18, 1992, and everything's been great ever since. Talk about a happy ending!
Thank goodness Courtney didn't listen!
