Sadly for Frances Bean Cobain, her experience of being removed from her parents’ care wasn’t a one-time thing. In fact, just over a decade after she was removed from Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s custody, it happened again.
Back in October 2003, Love came into contact with authorities not just once, but twice, within the space of a few hours. First, she was arrested for allegedly trying to break into the home of a friend, while reportedly on drugs. Then, shortly after her release, she called 911 for assistance with an overdose. As a result, in the weeks that followed, Love lost custody of Frances for a second time. Ahead of one of the custody hearings, Love revealed to People that Frances had been with her at the time of the overdose … and that by keeping her informed throughout the ordeal, she “made it fun.” However, Love also pointed out that it was the first time Frances had seen something like that. “That’s the only time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little crises,” she claimed.

That may be so, but it certainly left a mark on Frances. In an episode of “RuPaul What’s The Tee?” more recently, she revealed, “Some kids were like, ‘F*** I didn’t do, like, my essay,’ and I’d be like, ‘F***, I had to call the paramedics [to get] my mom’s stomach pumped last night!'” (32:25).
