Frances Bean Cobain's ex-husband is suing Courtney Love on claims that she hired a group of men to steal back Kurt Cobain's guitar in an alleged plot that almost ended in murder, Fox News noted.
The lawsuit claims that Isaiah Silva, who was married to Frances Bean Cobain for two years, was attacked by a group of men allegedly hired by Love in June 2016.
He alleged that several men posing as police officers broke into his West Hollywood home and proceeded to rob, assault, sexually batter, kidnap and attempt to murder him in an effort to obtain Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar that was played during Nirvana's famous 1993 MTV "Unplugged" set, Fox News said.
Silva claims the attack was ordered by Love and has accused former Britney Spears manager Sam Lutfi, private investigator John Nazarian, actor Ross Butler and musician Michael Schenk of being involved in the conspiracy, TMZ reported.
Lutfi made headlines in 2012 when he sued Spears for breach of contract after she made claims that he drugged her and tried to keep her from her family.
Nazarian meanwhile said he was nowhere near Silva's house on the alleged time and date of the attack, TMZ reported.
The saga arises from a guitar Silva says was gifted to him by Frances Bean Cobain, who he married in 2015.
However, TMZ noted that his ex-wife only agreed to give the guitar away during her divorce settlement in a desperate attempt to get him out of her life.
Silva was originally seeking $25,000 a month from Frances Bean Cobain as spousal support, but she avoided this in a divorce settlement that was finalized earlier this month, Vanity Fair noted.
