The co-author of Courtney Love's unpublished memoir has sued the singer for breach of contract, alleging she's a celebrity miser.
Anthony Bozza, who claims he went through hell to write her life story, said that his reward was getting canned without notice and then shortchanged on his paycheck, TMZ.com reported.
The biographer claimed that he got paid 100,000 dollars for his work, but their deal calls for him to get paid an additional 200k dollars.
He added that he incurred 10,000 dollars in expenses and didn't receive a dime in reimbursement, adding that he had to deliver the manuscript late because the 50-year old singer disappeared for months at a time.
In the end, Bozza claims he was never officially fired, but says Love texted him that she was "fixing" the book and she'd already hired a new writer to rework his version.
