Coogan threatened the singer with legal action yesterday after she accused the star of being to blame for Wilson's personal problems.
Talking about the Saxondale actor, she told The Sun: "Hopefully the guy will leave us alone in this town and go back to Brighton or wherever the hell he's from...and stay there."
Responding to the legal threats made by Coogan, Love commented: "There's nothing illegal or wrong with saying that someone's a bad influence.

The Hole singer added: "He's not even known over here. No one knows who the guy is. He has bit parts in movies - that's what he does."
