Frances Bean Cobain
Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain's daughter's dog by swallowing a pile of Love's pills. So claims France Bean Cobain, who also says Love's cat met its maker after getting entangled in the singer/actresses' Etsy fabrics and other possessions. The 19-year-old child of Nirvana's frontman shared with TheFix.com a number of other lurid details about Cobain's one-time wife.

The Fix is releasing the juicy details of a sealed restraining order Cobain has taken out against her mother. Here's her account on the pet killings:

Frances further claimed that her cat died after getting entangled in piles of Etsy fabrics, boxes of paperwork, trash and other possessions, and that a dog died after swallowing a pile of Love's pills. In addition to keeping Courtney away from Frances, Frances' grandmother and Frances' aunt, the restraining order also prevents Courtney from contact with Frances's dog, Uncle Fester.

And this -- Love, on how she almost became homeless after her husband's suicide:

"When Kurt died, I just fell into this endless spiral. I was doing drugs from the moment I woke up till the time I went to bed. I was out of it most of the time. I was naïve. I was stupid. I did what I was told to do. And by the time I figured out what was going on, I didn't have a dime left to my name. I hired a forensic accountant to find out how all these fucking people had managed to screw me so royally with all the fake credit cards. Kurt earns more money than any other deceased musician in history. One year, he even made more than Elvis! But I was so broke that Frances and I had to move in with my stepfather to stay off the street. All that time, these lawyers and accountants were feasting on billions of my dollars, and Frances and I didn't have a dime! We didn't have money to eat."

Other details in the order, as reported today by Seattle PI.com:

Love allegedly threatened to jump off a balcony in front of her daughter, is obsessed with investigating a fraud she believes is the reason she doesn't have money and once made Cobain accompany her on a midnight trip to yell at an ex-boyfriend from his front lawn.

Here's more, as paraphrased by TheFix.com:

Love "has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on...Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes. She rarely eats....She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire (which she has done at least three times) that will threaten our lives."

Ms. Cobain is engaged to Rambles lead singer Isaiah Silva and has recently bought a house in Los Angeles.

On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
