'Twitter should ban Courtney Love'

Los Angeles - Frances Bean Cobain wants her mother Courtney Love banned from Twitter.

The 19-year-old daughter of Courtney and late rocker Kurt Cobain has hit back at claims Dave Grohl - who was a member of Nirvana with her dad - tried to make a move on her, which her mother claimed she had heard from a friend of Frances'.

The teenager, who has been estranged from her only parent for a few years, said: "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn.

'Never been approached'

"I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy. Twitter should ban my mother."

Frances obtained a restraining order against her mother in 2009 and court papers recently released claimed she was terrified the Hole singer would cause both of their deaths in a fire.

She said in a sworn court statement: "(Love) has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on... Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes.

"She rarely eats ... She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire (which she has done at least three times) that will threaten our lives."
