Courtney Love sends cease and desist letter to stop screenings of 'Soaked in Bleach'
According to Deadline, attorneys for Courtney Love have sent cease and desist letters to theaters screening the recently released documentary Soaked in Bleach, a feature-length film examining the circumstances of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. You can see a trailer for the film below.
The film examines the long-standing rumor that Cobain's 1994 death was not a suicide as had been previously determined, but rather a homicide potentially involving Love. The letter, which can be viewed here, alleges that "the Film falsely presents a widely and repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory that accuses Ms. Cobain of orchestrating the death of her husband Kurt Cobain."
Producers for the film said in a statement, "Courtney Love and her lawyers clearly don’t like that the film presents a compelling case for re-opening the investigation into Kurt’s death. They should respect the First Amendment and let people decide for themselves."
