At the March 1995 Oscars, Courtney Love grabbed Quentin Tarantino‘s Oscar award for Pulp Fiction, and threatened to hit journalist Lynn Hirschberg with it. Hirschberg had previously written an article for Vanity Fair claiming Love used heroin while pregnant.
“I’m picking up the Oscar, and they’re really heavy, because they’re lead with gold over it, you could totally brain somebody. I’m like, ‘Who do you hate in this room?’ All of a sudden, this little voice [Lynn Hirschberg, author of the infamous Vanity Fair article] peeps up ‘You don’t like me.’
And she bolted and she hid under Madonna and Ellen Barkin and Jodie Foster’s table, and they were kicking her under the table. Jodie Foster was smoking cigars and putting them out on her and screaming, ‘Face the music, bitch!’
Had I punched her, they’d just say, ‘There goes Courtney again.’ But I kept my poise.”
1995.
