Drug
Centre Suing Courtney
Love
Rock
singer Courtney
Love
is being sued by a
Californian drug
rehabilitation centre
over an alleged unpaid
bill of $181,000
(£93,705).
The
Beau Monde centre says
it has repeatedly asked
for the bill to be
settled since Courtney
Love's stay in
2005.
The
42-year-old was ordered
into a drug treatment
programme by a court for
probation
violations.
Her
lawyer said he expected
the legal action "will
be resolved to the
satisfaction of all
parties
shortly".
The
action, filed at Orange
County Superior Court,
alleges Courtney Love
paid $10,000
(£5,177) up front
to the Beau Monde before
entering the facility
but failed to pay the
remaining
fees.
"Although
demanded multiple times
by plaintiff, orally and
in writing, none of the
balance stated has been
paid," it
says.
Courtney
Love, the widow of rock
star Kurt Cobain, was
sentenced to 180 days
drug treatment for
violating probation in
three separate cases,
including assault and
battery and illegal
possession of
painkillers.
Her
treatment was deemed a
success by a judge, who
cut the length of her
probation
period.
