Ordinarily, I can’t really stand any Courtney Love story, but this one struck me. Page Six is reporting that Courtney attacked a defenseless man (a pharmacist!) at a party. It seems the guy, named Sebastian Karnaby (sidenote: there are pharmacists named Sebastian?) accidentally walked in on Courtney Love while she was using the bathroom. And yes, “using” means “her skirt [was] around her ankles.” Sebastian walked out quickly, but Courtney hiked up her skirt, quickly exited the bathroom, and began attacking the poor bastard. Sebastian claims that Courtney was like a “possessed woman” and that seeing her on the toilet wasn’t a “pretty sight”. Shiver.
Don’t interrupt Courtney Love while she’s in the bathroom.
The rocker “went nuts” when a guest at a party at the Standard Hotel opened an unlocked bathroom door and saw her on the toilet with her skirt around her ankles.
According to the astonished, unintentional intruder, Love flew out of the loo, launched herself at him and threatened to have him thrown out.
Sebastian Karnaby, a pharmacist, tells Page Six he was trying to leave the party for the Times’ T style magazine at the hotel’s new Boom Boom the other night when he had the encounter with Love.
He said, “I couldn’t find my way out and asked someone to show me the door.” He opened the door he was led to, and “there was Courtney Love, sitting on the toilet with her skirt around her ankles.”
Karnaby says he was shocked and slammed the door shut, but that wasn’t enough for Love. He relates, “She stormed out screaming, ‘I am going to get you thrown out!’ She jumped on me, went crazy and dragged me over to security by the arm and claimed that I’d attacked her.
“They were trying to calm her down, but she was out of control. She was like a possessed woman. I absolutely did not attack her — I was trying to get away,” Karnaby said. “Thankfully, she’d remembered to pull up her skirt.”
He says security told him, “It’s best you get away as fast as possible.”
“I never wanted to see Courtney Love on the toilet,” he said. “It wasn’t a pretty sight. I just wanted to get out of there.”
Enjoying the party in a more civilized fashion were editor Stefano Tonchi, co-hosts Jeff Koons and Simon Doonan, Josh Hartnett, Helena Christensen, and photographer Terry Richardson.
Other guests at the party confirmed Karnaby’s story. Love’s rep refused to comment.

That’s the kind of thing that would scar me for life – that is, the part about seeing Courtney on the toilet, not the part about her attacking me. At this point, Courtney has probably attacked most people in Los Angeles, London and New York. I would imagine everyone has their “Courtney Love went berserk on me and here’s the scar” story. I’ve actually had people walk in on me in the toilet before – you know how it is, you’re in some sketchy dive bar, the lock doesn’t work, and you really need to pee. I didn’t freak out, I just shouted “I’m in here, dude!” Because I’m classy.

I just want to know why she pulled her skirt down. You shouldn’t have to take a skirt off to use the flush.
If this were ANYONE else, it’d be an outrageously scandalous event.
BUT … it’s just Courtney being Courtney, a day, a moment, in the life of …. *sighhhh*.
She’s a pretty harmless cacophony, wish her well and hope she makes it to shake the hell up outta some nursing home in the (hopefully not too near) future.
I had the same question about her skirt, why down around her ankles, that doesn’t make sense…although we are talking about CL…
Atleast she didn’t have a needle in her arm is what he should have said! That would have been an awesome sound bite.
The whole ordeal would be worse for the other person having to see her do ANYTHING!
Actually, I did see her years ago in concert and she was not only good, but very nice to a local gal who she let get up on stage and play guitar. After the girl played she let her keep the guitar, which I thought was kind of cool and decent of her.
It was like seeing Godzilla on the toilet. That poor man may never recover.
god, that poor guy may need therapy to deal with the sight of courtney peeing. *shudder*
This is why its being able to pee and keeping yourself covered in front is such an important skill for any woman to learn! I’d be mortified if someone saw my lady bits even by accident!
Pull your jeans or skirt down 3 inches or so, just enough to sit and pee and lean forward a little so the shadow covers you and voila! If its a dress or full skirt, just pull up the back. No fuss no muss. Jeez where did this woman get her life lessons from? Or her manners? Oh wait, nevermind.
I only wonder why she would pull her skirt down, and have it touch a dirty public restroom floor. Yucky.
this is courtney love we’re talking about. I don’t think she really cares where her skirt has been. he’s lucky all he caught her doing was peeing! Is it just me or is she wearing porcelain doll style makeup? way too much blush/mascara/lip liner/gloss? it’s freaky.
You can always count on Courtney to bring the crazy!
Nobody pulls their SKIRT down to pee. Bizarre. Maybe she was having a little personal good time.
Was he trying to take her syringe?
Haha, Karnaby is a sleeze ball who hits on women like he thinks he’s something. He has no respect for women, and probably wound up in that stall on purpose. I spoke to this man on the phone not knowing him except to say he was calling the business I worked at to purchase a product when he persisted on harrassing me over the phone in an attempt to get my personal information. He advised me to look up his name stating he’d gotten attacked by CL and to also add him to facebook if I liked his picture. I mean who calls a fucking business and starts hiting on employees except sleeze balls who act like a victim in a situation involving CL. I mean come on if you ask me he meant to be there. Doesn’t it seam stupid that he coulnd’t find his way out, dude did you not come through the front door i mean really he followed someone who led him to a bathroom we’re there no tell tale signs that the door he was entering was a washroom. Anyways, just thought I’d add a bit cause this guy really creeped me out over the phone and yeah I caved to my curiosity and googled his name.
