I felt a little dirty reading those emails, but if those are indeed the ones that got her the restraining order, thats bullshit. Those are not violent in any way. He sounds like every married guy in the world, ever. He should spell-check grubbing, though.

Alas, the reason people deal with/through lawyers is illustrated perfectly by those (one sided or not) emails.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 August 2013 21:58 (ten years ago) link
i can't imagine anyone sounds good in e-mails from a custody battle, but cc'ing your ex in e-mails complaining about how you want a lawyer, and then freaking out over the fact that you might have to spend parent-teacher night in the same vicinity of one of the black keys....yeesh

e-mails about how she wants a lawyer, i mean
He sounds a bit bratty, but do you get violent or menacing? Did your read that and think "Karen Elson is unsafe"?
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 2 August 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link
it's almost as if this was decided by legal professionals that are privy to more information than just the e-mails that have been leaked to the public and we don't actually know everything about the situation

no one has mentioned how ironic and sad it is that jack white is complaining about someone ripping his music off?

it's hysterical. white men born in the 1970s fighting over who invented the blues!

seriously. but even if this is the worst of the evidence, if you're calling your ex-wife over and over to swear at her about hiring a lawyer for a custody dispute (as implied in one of the e-mails), i'm all for her getting a restraining order
― da croupier, Friday, 2 August 2013 23:56 (ten years ago) link
i mean a dude who's already plead guilty of assault before, who reportedly spent the time before each show of his last tour deciding whether his all-male or all-female band would get to play with him that night, has been accused of being threatening and controlling during a custody dispute he's trying to keep lawyers out of. it's not a real "HOW????" situation.

"And this goes out to you, Karen, you jerk, taking my kids, starting controversy! And you too, guy from the Black Keys ... what, you jealous that I got to ripping off AC/DC and Zeppelin ripping off the blues before you did?"

Please refer to the right honorable Mr Billy Childish in matters pertaining to the prickish, bratty attitude of Jack White, from their feud circa 2006 when White claimed Childish was stealing from the White Stripes (huh?)
It all smacks of jealousy to me. I have a bigger collection of hats, a better moustache, a more blistering guitar sound and a fully developed sense of humor. The only thing I can’t understand is why I’m not rich. Yours sincerely, Billy Childish.P.S. I always stay well within the music industries recommended guidelines of never plagiarizing more than 50% of my material. But no matter who my influences may be, I would never stoop so low as to rip off Led Zeppelin.P.P.S I hope I've gone and offended Led Zeppelin now.

Frankly, I think White comes off as most prickish from his demands that Elson stay away from lawyers. Any settlement with serious money involved the woman ABSOLUTELY wants and needs lawyers. Got to say, from the divorces I've known, it's only ever been the men who've been controlling and demanding and aggressive. And in every case it's got them the best of the settlement because the women have become so fed up of the bloodiness of the process. Admittedly, that's only three divorces, but they're also the only three I'm familiar with.

White's ex-wife, a model, was probably annoyed that he wouldn't let his kids wear anything other than black, white and red clothing.

obvs white stripes werent the most original band but they def had their own thing which the black keys seem inspired by, and then the guy follows him to nashville and sends his kid to the same school, its worth at least considering that there may be some weird stalker relationship going on here

i do like the white stripes
I went through much of the 00s not really knowing what to think of the Stripes, but the Black Keys kind of put it all in perspective.
