British comedian Steve Coogan was called out by Courtney Love as influential in Owen Wilson‘s downward spiral. The comedian responded by threatening legal action and a representative denies the actors ever did drugs together.

Love, who had an affair with the British comedian after he moved to the US three years ago, spoke out days after Wilson’s August 26 suicide attempt, saying: “Under normal circumstances I would not comment but I care too much about Owen. ”

“I went through it with Steve. I was just out of rehab and he was right there with the drugs. ”

“I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy.”

This is interesting. Courtney denied Sharon Osbourne‘s accusations that she introduced Jack Osbourne to OxyContin, yet has no problem publicly blaming Coogan for helping Owen down his path of self-destruction. Coogan was�photographed coming out of Wilson’s house yesterday so the two are still in touch.
