Courtney Love continues to berate Brad Pitt after claiming she was fired from “Fight Club” for refusing to let the actor make a movie about her late husband, Kurt Cobain.
Earlier this week, she claimed on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast that she had been cast for the lead role of Marla Singer in the 1999 classic — but was booted after Pitt and director Gus Van Sant unsuccessfully pitched her for making a movie about the Nirvana rocker. .
“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt,” Love claimed. “I went nuclear. If you don’t get me, you kind of don’t get 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 get fired for a job you didn’t get,” they said.
Then, on Friday, the infamous musician doubled down, posting on Instagram, “Brad pushed me a bridge too far. I don’t like the way he does business or exercises his power.”
“I lost my s–t on them and by 7 p.m. I was fired,” she said.
(Van Sant eventually made the biopic “Last Days” starring Michael Pitt as Cobain.)
Love took to Instagram to double down on her story and add details.

Apparently in response to the denial published in Variety, Love said, “Every word of this is factual.”
She also said that the case was not over after the “Fight Club” incident.
“Brad kept stalking me about Kurt,” she claimed, adding that in 2020 they had a Zoom meeting about Pitt producing a Cobain movie through his Plan B productions.
Love – who explains she took the meeting because she is “recovering” – said she told him “no” again, but that “I was not heard. I was ignored.”
She added that she ended up telling the story on Maron’s podcast because she “felt Pitt wouldn’t stop pursuing Kurt unless I said it publicly.”
Hole’s frontwoman insisted she’s not trying to argue with the ‘Ad Astra’ actor.
“I don’t want Brad to get mad at me,” she wrote. “I want him to do better. I don’t do assault. Come on Brother Pitt. I wish you the best, I really do.”
Love also says she really enjoyed him as a movie star. Not so much as a producer of biopics.”
She added, “If he’s mad at me, that’s his problem.”
Love and Cobain were married in 1992 until his death in 1994.
