If you need reminding, Courtney took issue with Olivia’s promotional photo for her concert film Driving Home 2 U, which showed the teen holding a bouquet of flowers while dressed up as a prom queen with makeup running down her face.
Courtney felt that this was an obvious reference to the artwork for Hole’s 1994 album Live Through This, which featured fashion model Leilani Bishop dressed as a prom queen, holding a bouquet of flowers, and with smudged makeup.
Posting to her social media page, Courtney encouraged Olivia to DM her to find out her favorite florist so that the Disney star could send her flowers and a note of acknowledgment.
She later added in a Facebook post that the situation was “rude” and “rage inducing.” While some could see Courtney’s point, the vast majority leaped to Olivia’s defense as they pointed out that an unhappy prom queen isn’t the most original concept, referencing other iconic pop culture examples such as the 1976 movie Carrie.
