In an Instagram submit, Love defended the story she informed on WTF\u2014she basically acquired right into a combat with Brad Pitt on the cellphone after he referred to as her proposing a Kurt Cobain biopic movie he would star in, and she or he went \u201cnuclear\u201d on him, which instantly tainted their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi. Regarding a story, I told on the @marcmaron #wtf podcast. A story I was never going to tell. Brad pushed me a bridge too far,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI don\u2019t like the way he does business or wields his power. It\u2019s a simple fact, and it started during the production of Fight Club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand how much of a game of roulette casting is. I am not here 22 years later bitching about losing a part playing someone\u2019s side piece in a movie,\u201d she continued. \u201cOn the podcast, I recount the day Brad &amp; Gus Van Sant called me from lunch and tried to blackmail me over my role for the rights to a film about Kurt. I lost my shit on them, and by 7pm, I was fired from Fight Club. Every word of this is factual. This was always a secret that I was fine keeping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a movie. Indeed, I passed on better roles that [sic] that. Who cares?\u201d Love wrote. \u201cThe point is Brad kept on stalking me about Kurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the blackmail a part of that is undoubtedly a brand new declare and wrinkled to the story. Why would Pitt and Van Sant attempt to \u201cblackmail\u201d her? You can have a \u201cFight Club\u201d function IF you give us rights to the Kurt Cobain story. Love\u2019s story has at all times sounded legit up to now, however that\u2019s no option to conduct enterprise or a inventive partnership, and it doesn\u2019t sound like one thing they might do, however who is aware of, I assume. But that\u2019s a fairly extreme accusation both means.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Love stated she had the Marla Singer function in \u201cFight Club,\u201d she had met with director <strong>David Fincher,<\/strong> and he was on board, and her fianc\u00e9e on the time,<strong> Edward Norton,<\/strong> had the break the information to her that she had been \u201cfired\u201d from the movie after her \u201cnuclear\u201d name with Pitt.<\/p>\n<p>One suspects that Fincher and Norton may in all probability simply affirm or dispute this, and properly, Fincher has a brand new movie popping out later in 2023 (\u201c<strong>The Killer<\/strong>\u201d), and one assumes individuals will ask.
