Ryan Adams Responds To Courtney Love We've been keeping you abreast of Courtney's ongoing anti-Adams blog drama. Ryan's finally responded at his site in "A Personal Statement Of Clarity For Anyone In Doubt," where he calls Love "reality-challenged," among other things. You can read his metal-loving two-cents here. (via PTW)

Courtney Love "reality challenged"? Come on now, that's preposterous. She's so level-headed she's like a female version of the late Peter Jennings. Intelligence, insight, poise... she's got it all! Maybe it's YOU that's reality-challenged Ryan Adams!

It's like watching the embodiment of syphilis and herpes fight.

I wasn't seeing much of an out and out denial of anything she said. It was sort of meandering and vague, I think.

Pretty sure he was saying, "this bitch is effing insane and I feel dumb for even having to respond to such lunacy, p.s. METAL"

Jared T, the ball is in your court.

Isn't he too busy with his photography and living off of summer of '69 royalties to drop to her level? This guy never ceases to amaze me. He went froom being a great pop rock star from the '90's to some whiney, arrogant asshole getting in blog wars. And his music went to shit!

Ryan doesn't call Courtney anything in that personal statement... don't edit the statement to make it "juicer".

"accused of fictional crimes against innocents"

I'm sorry, but did some of you really need a clearer denial? Perhaps you could look up the word "fictional" in the dictionary.

Courtney Love is a pathetic, washed-up, has-been, cracked-out, scumbag whore of a liar. Anything she says comes from a heroin/cocaine/whatever her drug of choice is these days and nobody with 0.2 living brain cells should take her seriously.
