‘I was wrong’: Courtney Love Takes back Supportive Message She Wrote For Johnny Depp

Courtney Love, frontwoman of band Hole and partner to deceased star Kurt Cobain took to social media to make a series of statements using videos posted to her Instagram account.

While the videos included Love, they are said to have been posted to her socials by her friend Jessica Reed Kraus.

Her prior commentary said, "I don't really want to make judgments publicly. I just want to tell you that Johnny gave me CPR in 1995 when I overdosed outside the Viper Room."

The Viper Room is an entertainment club that was once co-owned by Johnny Depp and sees high-profile clientele on the regular.

Love further recounted the kindness that Depp had shown to her and her family at a difficult time when she was on the receiving end of a lot of hate in the media.

"Johnny, when I was on crack and [daughter] Frances [Bean Cobain] was having to suffer through that with all these social workers, wrote her a four-page letter that she's never showed me, on her 13th birthday,"

She also revealed that Depp would send limos to Cobain’s children so they’d be able to go see the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

"He did it a bunch of times. He gave her her own seat [at the premieres] with her name on it. I’ve never seen one of those Pirates movies, but [Frances] loved them. You know, she said to me when she was 13, 'Mama, he saved my life.' And she said it again."

Frances Cobain developed a close relationship with Depp who she credited with saving her life. “Mama he saved my life,” she said at the age of 13.

Love, who claims to have been “the most hated woman in America,” said that had for Amber Heard who was seemingly going through the same thing.

The caveat however was whether her intentions were pure. Love continued to say, "But if you use a movement for your own personal gain and you inhabit queer feminist intersectional spaces and you abuse that moment, then I hope justice gets served, whatever it is, and I think we should have less schadenfreude and more empathy for all concerned."

After these comments, she later took to Instagram once again to take back all these thoughts "I engaged in expressing thoughts online. The platform accidentally posted a story I didn’t want public (I’m sure it was not deliberate) in it I am weaponizing snark (what else do we do with snark?)

"Was it my own (granted, massive, a character defect, ego?) Was it a genuine, expression of support for someone whose been a wondrous presence in our lives? Is it ANY OF MY F***ING BUSINESS? No."

"What about the times I’ve been publicly defamed? My true friends have done so much to help me during these public ritual systemic humiliations? That s*** matters. I think of my mentors in morality, whose high opinion of my actions. Are important to me."

She admitted that she was an addict in recovery and doesn’t always do the same thing although she tries to.

"I am an addict in recovery, for now, I outsource these people's values. What would x do in this situation? My best thinking in addiction got me into hell, hunger, animality, greed, and ego. While I recover, I borrow the values, moral compasses of those I look up to (& dogs, especially) who do the right thing."

"I certainly don’t always do the right thing. My goal - emulate the human revolution of my mentor @daisakuikeda. I want to show neutral support for a friend. I don't want to bully. I’ve been bullied enough. I did not want to express my own bias / internalized misogyny.”

She further added that her intent was never to become a bully, especially since she has been bullied herself.

"(Do give me a break on that one. Look at my JOB! I’m working on it) I want nothing to do with contributing more online bullying to someone enduring being bullied like no one ever has been online. Ever. In my program of recovery, ‘when we were wrong, we promptly admitted it’ I was wrong.

"The only important takeaway, of what was posted, is that I expressed that we should all stop having ‘fun with schadenfreude (look it up: ‘Delight in another’s downfall’)

& show sincere empathy for both parties. If I hurt anyone, please accept my amends."

She had also previously revealed that Depp gave her CPR during an overdose but has since deleted that post.
