Courtney Love says she nearly died during a “secret” health crisis in which her health deteriorates rapidly. She describes her body as feeling like it “just exploded” and says she lost a substantial amount of weight and all her hair during the episode. Love also says she reached about 100 pounds.

Both outlets report her account using similar phrasing and focus on the severity of the physical decline. They do not provide additional medical details, such as the specific diagnosis, timeline, or treatment, and they do not include corroborating statements from doctors. The common angle across coverage is the dramatic description of weight loss, hair loss, and being close to death, presented as part of her broader personal disclosure.

No outlet included independent verification of the underlying cause, and the reports rely on Love’s statements about her experience.
