Courtney Love hopes Jeffrey Epstein ‘burns in hell’ after her name appeared in his address book
Courtney Love says that she hopes Jeffrey Epstein “burns in hell” after learning that her name was in his infamous “little black book”.
The musician’s name was one of a number of high profile figures to feature in the book that surfaced in 2015 in court proceedings after Epstein's former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez tried to sell it in 2009.
Epstein died in jail of apparent suicide last year while awaiting trial for multiple charges including sex trafficking.
“Hey. About my name in Epstein’s address book, it’s creepy as f*** that I’m in that thing I agree,” Love tweeted.
“I didn’t know him, never met him, didn’t know who he was. Apparently he collected celebrity phone numbers. The end. Hope he burns in Avīci hell.”
The singer then linked to the Wikipedia page for Avīci, which is described as the lowest level of hell in Buddhism.
Also among the celebrity names to feature in Epstein’s book were Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes and Mick Jagger.
Despite not being named in the book, model Chrissy Teigen was recently forced to distance herself from Epstein after alt-right trolls shared a conspiracy theory that claimed she flew on Epstein’s private plane, dubbed “The Lolita Express”.

“Why would I be such a public paedophile, tweeting about it??” she asked. “It was about how anyone who watches it needs to go to jail. It’s not hard … Everyone thinking I’m guilty because I’m defensive. You understand you are calling me a paedophile, correct?”
