The head of Dr. Martens shoes apologized Thursday for an ad featuring Courtney Love’s late husband, Kurt Cobain, and other dead rock stars.
“We are really, really, really sorry,” Dr. Martens CEO David Suddens tells PEOPLE. “We do think that it is offensive. We made a mistake. My message to Courtney Love is: This is something we shouldn’t have been doing.”
On Wednesday, Love lashed out at the company via her publicist.
“Courtney had no idea this was taking place and would never have approved such a use,” her rep told PEOPLE. “She thinks it’s outrageous that a company is allowed to commercially gain from such a despicable use of her husband’s picture.”
I think they should pull the ad, how disrespectful!
