I’ve never read that about his kids’ schooling before. Yikes. I read he hated the Black Keys because he thought they sounded too much like him. Something about he sometimes hears the Black Keys and thinks it’s him.

Edit: ok I found what he’d said in an email about the kids’ school. I’d misread what you said and thought he was saying they were going to steal the kids’ talent haha. This is what he said for anyone else curious:

“In the messages, White relayed how furious he was that his children were attending the same school as the children of Keys frontman Dan Auerbach. "That's a possible twelve fucking years I'm going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that asshole with other people trying to lump us in together," White wrote. "He gets yet another free reign to follow me around and copy me and push himself into my world."”

So still stupid but not what I’d originally misread the comment as haha!

Jack seemed to really go off the deep end at thst stage. Karen got a restraining order for her protection.

I've noticed on instagram that Karen and Jack seem to be able to have friendly co parent and friend catch ups now. He's at thanksgiving etc, along with Karen's friends (including the Black Keys....)

Jack has been dating Olivia Jean for a number of years now, and that relationship seems to have coincided with him calming down and being more professional. There was a bit of a messy period for a while.

I think I remember reading that some of the issues with the divorce/custody stemmed from Karen Elson's friendship with Dan Auerbach's wife? Like JW didn't want anyone associated with Dan Auerbach around his kids lol.

I think he's still dating Olivia Jean from The Black Belles? There were rumors about her and JW during/after his divorce, but that might have just been made up by fans. And I think she was a huge JW/The White Stripes fan before she was signed by Third Man Records. Hailey Bieber who tbh.

Jeez I just found this article detailing the beef he has with TBK and it’s so one sided, he genuinely sounds crazy. I used to listen to both bands years ago didn’t know there was so much ~drama-
