Courtney Love has publicly commented on Gwen Stefani on a few occasions, often in the context of rivalry or personal drama rather than neutral praise. The most notable threads include:

• General critique of Stefani’s fame and public persona: In a 2004 interview with Seventeen, Love suggested that being famous can feel like high school and implied she didn’t want to be the “cheerleader” Gwen Stefani represented, describing Stefani as the “cheerleader” and herself as being in the “smoker shed” instead. This captured a sense of professional and personal friction between the two at that time.

• Specific comments about Gavin Rossdale and Stefani’s ventures: In later interviews (notably around 2013 with ABC News), Love asserted that Gavin Rossdale (Stefani’s ex-husband) had a strong influence over Stefani’s career and fashion ventures, saying that Rossdale “runs the Gwen show” and had built up her clothing line L.A.M.B. Her remarks were framed as critiques of power dynamics in Stefani’s career, and they reinforced a narrative of personal and professional tension between Love and Stefani.

• Cultural impact and retrospective mentions: Various media pieces have revisited Love’s remarks, often labeling them as jealousy or bitterness about Stefani’s sustained success. Some outlets discuss how Love’s comments fit into a broader pattern of public feuds Love has had with other artists, including Stefani,.
