Jack White's Ex Says He's Harassing Her

Two years ago, Jack White and Karen Elson threw a divorce party together, which certainly made it seem as if their split was amicable. Well, apparently not: Elson was just granted a restraining order against White after, she claims, the rocker started harassing her. In legal papers, Elson says White has been pressuring her about the divorce settlement and custody of their two kids (he wants to help raise them, but Elson says he's not fit for parenting). "Wife fears for her and the children’s safety as a result of this harassment," the restraining order reads.

The couple has been fighting over the kids for months, the Nashville City Paper reports. Elson alleges White has a violent temper, and she says he's refused numerous requests to go to family counseling. "This pattern of husband’s bullying wife into submission was a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage," the order reads. Elson also describes two bizarre incidents in which White was upset about his children associating with the children of other entertainers that he feels "ripped off" his music. TMZ notes that though the couple separated in 2011, Elson just filed for divorce last year. Their kids are 5 and 7 years old, E! reports. (More Karen Elson stories.)
