Courtney Love has had a long, on‑and‑off feud with Dave Grohl, and over the years she has said some pretty harsh things about him in public interviews, online posts, and on stage. She has also, at times, walked some of it back and said they eventually “buried the hatchet.”

Key things she’s said

  • She claimed Grohl minimized or implied doubts about her songwriting in Hole, which she took as a dig that Kurt Cobain had really written her songs.
  • In response, she accused Grohl of being on a “mission” to undermine her, calling him a “sub‑mediocre kind of guy” who hides behind a “nice guy” image and saying he continually writes songs about her.
  • She has said Kurt Cobain “loathed” Grohl more than almost anyone and even claimed there was a codicil in Kurt’s will removing Grohl from Nirvana, a claim that has never been substantiated publicly.

Money and Nirvana legacy drama

  • During disputes over Nirvana’s catalog and royalties, she angrily accused Grohl of effectively taking money from her and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain.
  • She complained that Grohl earned huge sums from Foo Fighters shows and questioned why he had access to a Nirvana corporate credit card when she did not, alleging he used it for big purchases like an Aston Martin.

Later social media blow‑ups

  • In a since‑deleted 2021 Instagram post, she said she had “had enough” of Grohl’s “abusive behavior,” tying her anger to old Nirvana‑related business and creative grievances.
  • That same outburst also dragged in other musicians and referenced long‑running frustrations over how Nirvana’s legacy and imagery (like Cobain’s likeness) had been handled.

Apologies and making up

  • Shortly after that 2021 rant, Love publicly apologized to Grohl, saying she regretted posting while upset and walked back some of the harsher language.
  • She has also described eventually reconciling with him and “burying the hatchet,” notably after appearing together at events tied to Nirvana’s legacy and in later TV appearances.

TL;DR: Over the years Courtney Love has accused Dave Grohl of undermining her, profiting unfairly from Nirvana, and hiding behind a fake “nice guy” image, using some very sharp language in interviews, blogs, and social media. But she has also later apologized for some of those attacks and said they ultimately made peace.
