On an episode of WTF With Marc Maron, Courtney Love revealed that she was “fired” from the movie Fight Club.

Love stated that when Brad Pitt and filmmaker Gus Van Sant approached her about a project based on her late husband, Kurt Cobain, she “went nuclear” on them and was dismissed from the 1999 classic.

In a conversation with Brad, Love stated, “I don’t know if I trust you and I don’t know that your movies are for profit. They’re really good social justice movies, but if you don’t get me, you kind of don’t get Kurt, and I don’t feel like you do, Brad.”

Should Courtney Love have allowed Brad Pitt to do a movie about Kurt Cobain? Would you have watched it?
