Courtney Love is facing a claim she once groped a reporter without consent<\/p>\n
The \u2018Hole\u2019 rocker, 58, who had model daughter Frances Bean, 30, with her late ex-husband Kurt Cobain, is said by journalist Frank Elaridi to have touched him around \u201csix years ago\u201d.<\/p>\n
The reporter, who works mainly for ABC programs and digital platforms \u2014 said on his \u2018Quite Frankly\u2019 podcast the incident took place at Coachella when he was covering the music festival for \u2018Nightline\u2019.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI think I was like 24 or something at the time \u2013 na\u00efve. They send me to Coachella to go do an interview with her. I\u2019m at her afterparty, interviewing her in a side room, and then she\u2019s like, \u2018Come hang out with us!’\u201d<\/p>\n
Frank added he agreed and the pair took a photo together, saying: \u201cAnd the second (the) photo\u2019s done, she grabs my crotch, like, really hard. Like, grabs it like that.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI was caught off guard. There\u2019s literally a photo \u2019cause somebody across the room snapped it (and) sent it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe image, which has been posted online, shows Courtney grabbing Frank\u2019s crotch with her right hand while he looks shocked.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cHer hand is very clearly \u2013 like, there\u2019s a photo of Courtney Love with her hand squeezing my balls basically.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut when asked by his podcast guest, 37-year-old musician Nahko Bear \u2014 who has been accused of sexual abuse but denies the allegations \u2013 asked if Frank wanted to \u201ccancel\u201d Courtney, he replied the idea to \u201cgo after her\u201d would \u201cnever cross (his) mind\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cShe\u2019s a rock star in my head. Not to justify or say it\u2019s OK, but in my head, that would never cross my mind to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he wondered whether the conversation was still worth having for the mere fact that \u201cshe\u2019s a woman\u201d and he\u2019s \u201ca man.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFrank added in a long Instagram post alongside a clip from his podcast that he didn\u2019t want to \u201ccome off as a victim\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nPage Six said in a report on his claim Courtney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
