Jack White denies threatening estranged wife in contentious divorce filings

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jack White denies making any threats against his estranged wife in a court filing in response to her request for a temporary restraining order.

British singer and model Karen Elson was granted the order pending a hearing. She showed the court an email from the former White Stripes frontman that expresses unhappiness with Elson’s plans for their children’s schooling and criticizes rock ‘n’ roll rival Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.

In a court filing Friday, White denies his wife’s claims and says his wife went back on a verbal agreement to settle the divorce without mediation.

White has asked the court to establish a temporary parenting plan.
