In the now-deleted video message shared on social media, Courtney Love didn’t exactly pick sides in the Depp-Heard court case. In the video, she told of how Johnny Depp saved her life in the 1990s, performing CPR when Love overdosed at the LA rock club The Viper Room. The Viper Room is also where another ’90s icon, River Phoenix, died from a drug overdose just two years earlier, according to History. Depp’s kindness also extended beyond just Love to her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, whom she had with the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Love went on say in the post (per People), “[W]hen I was on crack and Frances [Bean Cobain] was having to suffer through that with all these social workers, [Depp] wrote her a four-page letter that she’s never showed me, on her 13th birthday.” Depp also reached out to Love’s daughter, arranging for limos to take her and friends to “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, movies which the young girl loved at the time, and in which Depp played a starring role (per IMDb).
