Frances Bean Cobain’s ex sues Courtney Love for attempted murder over Kurt Cobain’s guitar
Frances Bean Cobain‘s ex-husband claims her mother Courtney Love was willing to kill in order to get back Kurt Cobain’s guitar.
Isaiah Silva is suing Love, her manager Sam Lutfi, “13 Reasons Why” actor Ross Butler, private investigator John Nazarian, musician Michael Schenk and more for conspiring to kill him with the intent of stealing back the Nirvana frontman’s iconic 1959 Martin D-18E guitar, People reported.
Silva also alleges that the group engaged in burglary, robbery, sexual battery, kidnapping, attempted murder, criminal threats, false imprisonment, extortion, stalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress and trespass.
After a two-year battle, the guitar, which Cobain played during 1993’s “MTV Unplugged” performance, went to Silva in the divorce settlement. In January 2017, Frances Bean asked the court to force Silva to give up the guitar, with a source telling Page Six at the time: “Of course, her priority would be to have it returned, but as we [wait for] the court to make a ruling, she would like a third party to have it.”
While Frances Bean lost custody of the guitar, she didn’t have to pay Silva spousal support.
In his lawsuit, Silva claims that Lutfi, Butler and Yan Yukhtman “entered into a criminal conspiracy to commit trespass, burglary, home invasion robbery, assault, battery, kidnapping, and murder” against him in order to take the guitar on the morning of June 3 of last year, according to the publication.
He also alleges Nazarian and Schenk “did assault and cause physical injury to Silva’s mother while in Silva’s presence and with the intent of terrorizing and intimidating Silva.” He also claims Lutfi threatened the lives of his mother and 7-year-old daughter Arlo from a previous relationship.
As Page Six previously reported, Love first hired Nazarian to investigate the Nirvana frontman’s death. Silva later hired Nazarian to protect himself and his family from Lutfi and Love. Sources told us that Lutfi allegedly threatened Jessica Sullivan, Arlo’s mother, apparently in an attempt to get her to side with Frances in the divorce proceedings that ultimately decided the fate of the guitar.
Lutfi had telephoned Sullivan, calling her a “whore” and a “c - - t,” and sent her messages saying ominously, “You are done! You sick bitch.”
