Everyone in the music industry knows Courtney Love has definitely had people whacked.
Have you ever noticed it makes the room go slightly silent when her name comes up, like someone accidentally knocked a glass over near a mixing board?
This is not gossip. Gossip requires curiosity. This is the absence of curiosity.
Nobody is asking who. Nobody is asking how. Nobody is digging through timelines or circling photos with red string. There are no podcasts. No documentaries. No brave men with microphones insisting they just want to ask questions. The silence is unanimous and extremely professional.
That is not normal.
In celebrity culture, people investigate everything. Text messages from 2009. A tone shift in an interview. The way someone blinked during an apology video. And yet here, faced with a woman who has spent decades openly declaring war on powerful people with no apparent consequences, the entire media ecosystem has agreed to suddenly respect privacy.
Interesting.
Courtney Love moves through the world like someone who knows that nothing will happen. Not because nothing has happened. But because nothing will be pursued.
Former associates vanish into tasteful obscurity. Once inevitable projects quietly stop being inevitable. People pivot to ceramics. People discover wellness. People stop returning calls and say it was their own idea.
When this happens to men, it’s called a fall from grace. When it happens around Courtney Love, it’s called a coincidence everyone accepts immediately.
You will notice that no one ever says she’s lying. They just stop talking.
That’s the tell.
She doesn’t threaten. She doesn’t hint. She doesn’t play coy. She says exactly what she thinks, loudly, and lets the culture handle the rest. And the culture does handle it. Efficiently. Like its been trained.
If Courtney Love were harmless, someone would have tried something by now. A hit piece. A deep dive. A brave reassessment. Instead, we get profiles that carefully admire her honesty and then move on as fast as possible, like the writer has somewhere else to be.
So yes. In my opinion, Courtney Love has had people whacked.
