Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of rocker Courtney Love, launched into a tirade at a bus terminus in New York, it was reported.
Cobain, whose father is late rock legend Kurt, had her travel plans ruined when it emerged she failed to pay for a reservation. She was standing in a line to take a train to Boston, Massachusetts.
The 17-year-old exploded into a rage over a mix-up and because a clerk failed to recognise her. A source said: “She caused a huge back-up on the line because she refused to pay herself. She was causing a scene and saying her name loudly to the guy behind the counter, but he had no idea who she was.
“Finally, she got out of line to call her business manager, who paid for her ticket.”
Frances Bean was most recently reported to be staying with Love at the city’s Mercer Hotel after Love claimed she had to flee Los Angeles due to a staff conspiracy against her. Love’s financial problems are said to be dire.
Courtney Love claims her lawyer and accountant have taken her money fraudulently.
The former Hole singer – widow of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – also asked fans for help finding a new legal representative in a message posted on social networking site MySpace.com.
The star’s misspelled blog entry reads: “Due to a lawyer without power of attorney illegally signing $2.2 million in cheques when I was in the UK, everything he signed was 85 per cent fraud. Then, out of spite, his friend overpaid my taxes by about 400 per cent.”
Courtney says she believed her lawyer was acting illegally, adding: “So next time the NYC Attorney General calls, I’m happy to speak to him myself. As I understand it he was dismissed by my former lawyer. I don’t get that guy’s motivation, forcing me to sign tax returns I knew were illegal or pay down ‘diversions’ that are exactly the same amount as a business manager’s phoney corporation. Why? Why take an already complicated situation and f**k it up even worse? To break me? Because I’m worth nothing more than Kurt’s publishing? Which they’ll get over my dead body. No lawyer on this earth will agree that your criminal lawyer is by law allowed to write your contracts which include him wetting his beak at 175k for every deal you make! Toxic man. My police report for $2.4 million is filed and public now.”
The entry closed with a plea to fans for help, as Courtney asked: “Is anyone’s daddy a fraud lawyer? Forensic? A great Washington lawyer simple and plain and a winner?” following a tirade of allegations of fraud against her lawyer and accountant.
She added: “I am the champ, by the way, my FBI guy said in 28 years in law enforcement he’s never seen personal embezzlement or even embezzlement at this level, ever.”
Courtney claimed in March she was a victim of identity fraud, but police were said to be skeptical about her allegations.
