Jack White Is Having a Bad Week

First we heard of these reports about Jack’s ex-wife, Karen Elsen, seeking and getting a restraining order against him.  Now there’s this little bit of gossip regarding Jack and a feud with the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach.

One of the things that precipiated the restraining order was Jack’s insistence at their kids be pulled out of a class with that also included Dan’s kids.  Why?  Because Jack thinks Dan “ripped off” his music.

An email that was filed with the restraining order read as follows:

“My concern with Auerbach is because I don’t want the kids involved in any of that crap … That’s a possible twelve f***ing years I’m going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that a**hole with other people trying to lump us in together.”
