Courtney Love continues to berate Brad Pitt after claiming she was fired from the ‘Fight Club’ for refusing to let the actor make a film about her late husband, Kurt Cobain.
Earlier this week, she claimed on Marc Maron’s ‘WTF’ podcast that she had been cast in the key role of Marla Singer in the 1999 classic – but was cast after Pitt and director Gus Van Sant l prompted them to make a film about rocker Nirvana. .
“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt,” Love said. “I went nuclear. If you don’t understand me, you don’t understand Kurt, and I don’t feel like you do, Brad.
A source further told Variety that Love auditioned but was not cast.
“You can’t be fired for a job you didn’t get,” they said.
Then, on Friday, the infamous musician doubled down, posting on Instagram, “Brad pushed me too far. I don’t like the way he does business or wields his power.
“I lost my shit on them and at 7 p.m. I got fired,” she said.
(Van Sant eventually directed the biopic “Last Days” starring Michael Pitt as Cobain.)
Love took to Instagram to double down on her story and add details.

Apparently responding to the denial published in Variety, Love said, “Every word of this is factual.”
She also said the case didn’t end after the “Fight Club” incident.
“Brad kept nagging me about Kurt,” she claimed, adding that they had a Zoom meeting in 2020 about Pitt producing a Cobain movie through his Plan B Productions.
Love — who says she made the appointment because she’s “recovering” — said she said “no” to him again but “I wasn’t heard from. I was ignored.
She added that she eventually told the story on Maron’s podcast because she “felt that Pitt wouldn’t stop chasing Kurt unless I said so in public.”
The Hole singer insisted she wasn’t trying to start a fight with the ‘Ad Astra’ actor.
“I don’t want Brad to be mad at me,” she wrote. “I want him to do better. I’m not into aggression. Come on brother Pitt. I wish you luck, really.
Love also says that she greatly appreciated him as a movie star. Not as much as a biopic producer.
She added: “If he’s mad at me, that’s his problem.”
Love and Cobain were married in 1992 until the time of his death in 1994.
