Love says Depp saved her after 1995 OD
Courtney Love is showing support for Johnny Depp amid his continuing legal battle against ex-wife Amber Heard.
The Hole frontwoman has shared a story of how the 58-year-old star came to her aid when she overdosed in a nightclub while grieving her late husband, Kurt Cobain.
She said in a video shared to her friend's Instagram account:
“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.”
And the 57-year-old star told how Depp also “saved” her daughter Frances Bean, now 29, by writing her a letter on her 13th birthday while the youngster was dealing with Love's addiction and the suicide of Cobain, even though she didn't “really know” who he was.
Although Love offered support to Depp, she stressed she still had “empathy” for Heard, but wondered if her allegations had hurt the #MeToo cause.
“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.”
Love later apologized for “bullying” Heard.
“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.”
