Courtney Love blames Coogan

30-08-2007 07:30

Courtney Love claims Steve Coogan is partly to blame for Owen Wilson's suicide attempt, it has been reported.

The former Hole singer - who has previously dated Coogan - has allegedly branded the wild British actor a bad influence on Wilson and claimed the comedian pushed the 'Wedding Crashers' star into a downward spiral of drug use.

Love was quoted as saying: "Under normal circumstances I wouldn't comment but I care too much about Owen.

"I went through it with Steve. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends."

Coogan's spokeswoman has slammed Love's claims, saying: "These accusations are unfounded, unhelpful and hurtful to all concerned. We are taking legal advice."

Wilson and Coogan, who became friends when the British star moved to Los Angeles, were set to work together on Ben Stiller's new comedy 'Tropic Thunder'.

However, Wilson has pulled out of the movie in order to concentrate on recovering from his suicide bid.
