The night before (September 2019, New York Fashion Weeks LBV show), Courtney Love, responding to a reported offer of over $100,000 from Sackler’s camp to attend the show, had told Page Six, “I am one of the most famous reformed junkies on the planet—my husband died on heroin. What is it about me that says to Joss Sackler, ‘I will sell out to you?’” (A spokesperson for LBV and Sackler told the tabloid at the time that Love’s account was “not accurate.” Sackler told WWD in 2020 that LBV never made Love a formal offer.)
