This seemingly relates to a page planning out a video for the song ‘Come As You Are’, which suggests super-imposing images of “babies swimming”, sperm cells, jelly fish and sea monkeys over footage of the band. It also claims that the book sees “Cobain sketch the album cover in a sexual manner, with semen all over it”. Although these undated statements are not given their surrounding context. The filing also quotes from the 2002 book of excerpts from Cobain’s journals, highlighting various controversial and provocative statements he made relating to sex and children. “Weddle soon after produced photographs of Spencer dressed up and depicted as Hugh Hefner”, the new lawsuit adds, without further comment. Submitted earlier this week, the amended lawsuit more sharply focusses on Kurt Cobain and photographer Kirk Weddle, further pushing the claim that both intended the image of the four month old baby to be sexual.Īt the centre of that is the allegation that Weddle aimed to “trigger a visceral sexual response from the viewer” by activating “Spencer’s ‘gag reflex’ before throwing him underwater in poses highlighting and emphasising Spencer’s exposed genitals”. Spencer Elden, the man who appeared on the cover of Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ album as a baby, has submitted an updated lawsuit against the band and their label, attempting to further his claim that the image of him swimming naked on that record’s artwork amounts to “commercial child pornography”.
