Courtney Love has weighed in on Britney Spears' ongoing conservatorship battle, writing on Instagram that she had also at one point been pressured into a legal guardianship by Spears’ longtime business manager Lou Taylor.

When a fan asked on Instagram if Taylor, who planned Spears' conservatorship with her father Jamie, had ever tried to place her under a conservatorship, Love responded in the affirmative. "Short answer is yes," she said.

"Lou did try. For a mutated strain of a conservatorship. She and the 'jeryls' made an attempt to control Kurt’s name and likeness and all Nirvana songs (96 percent). Then sell the publishing, by which time I’d be in a conservatorship or more likely? Dead," Love continued.

The former Hole singer was married to late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain when he died in April 1994.

“I was successful at blocking only Lou, that’s just because I chant a lot which makes me lucky. But not [Spears'] buddies. I just looked at Britney’s account. There’s no point in sticking my neck out for her now, her pack of wolves almost killed me and my only child,” Love continued, referring to her daughter with Cobain, Frances Bean.

Love also commented on Spears' appearance in her Instagram photos, writing that she "looks damaged, f**ked up for life".

"I’ve tried to lobby attorneys for years with a glimmer of humanity to take on Spears' situation and they always p***y out,” she continued. "And frankly I’m done with it."

Love also wrote that she knew "more about the Spears case than almost anyone", but that she was reticent to share anything beyond that, implying that she and Frances Bean had been intimidated into silence.

"It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen done to another woman, and trust me I’ve seen it all," Love wrote. “But I’m OK now in Europe recovering from a near-death illness that probably happened due to the stress of out manoeuvring those assholes for pre Britney, 25 some years … We finally have a manager they’re all scared of and we are safe. I’m OK and most of all Frances is OK. I’m not dragging us though the ptsd and trauma that Lou's name brings up in me."

As previously reported by CNN, Spears and her father Jamie Spears have not spoken in four months. The "Toxic" singer has been placed under legal guardianship for 12 years.

In November, it was reported that Spears wanted her father removed from managing the conservatorship when Taylor, her longtime business manager, abruptly quit.
