With the premiere of HBO’s Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck just days away, the late Nirvana frontman’s wife and daughter have been making the promotional rounds non-stop.
As usual, Courtney has come off as strung-out, demented and desperate for attention, while Frances Bean Cobain continues to seem remarkably well-adjusted for someone with Courtney Love as a mother.
But while she certainly has her life more together than her batsh-t mom, Frances Bean has raised a few eyebrows (and more than a few concerns) in recent weeks.
First, an interview in which Frances basically said Nirvana sucks and her dad should not be treated as a hero left many wondering if the 22-year-old wasn’t still bearing an unhealthy level of animosity toward her troubled father.
Now, photos from the latest Montage premiere event have sparked rumors that Frances may be engaging in the sort of self-destructive behavior for which her parents are so well-known.
Granted, it’s hard to tell where Hot Topic-chic ends and a genuinely sickly appearance begins, but Frances certainly looks as though she hasn’t been taking the greatest care of herself lately.
Naturally, that could be a result of the fact that she’s given more interviews and done more red carpet appearances in the past two weeks than all of her previous 22 years combined.
Some have gone so far as to compare Frances’ appearance to that of her dad when he was in the darkest depths of his heroin addiction, and while we wouldn’t go so far as to make that morbid comparison, we will say that we hope someone’s been asking this girl if she’s okay, and not just dragging her from one red carpet event to the next.
With her talk of a Kurt Cobain sex tape and bizarre musings about her husband’s suicide, Courtney has been going to great lengths to steal her daughter’s thunder at every turn lately, but last night all eyes were on Frances.
Again, this could all be result of an affected "look," but whatever the case, when you make an appearance with Courtney Love and you’re the one who people are worried about, that’s generally a good sign that you should probably make some changes.
