The White Stripes drummer Meg White now leads a quiet life in Detroit having not been seen in public for nearly 14 years since she attended a Toronto International Film Festival event with her ex-husband-turned-bandmate Jack White in September 2009.
In February, the reclusive 48-year-old and the prolific 47-year-old's garage band scored an official nomination to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but, alas, they were not voted into the 2023 class.
The press surrounding the nod lead to a (since deleted) mean tweet on March 13 from ex-journalist Lachlan Markay where he blasted Meg's performances as 'terrible' and 's****y' and mused about how 'the tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would've been with a half decent drummer.'
On March 15, Jack responded to Markay's allegation with an Instagram snap of White playing her signature peppermint-swirled drum alongside a poem about having no regrets while calling out 'demons, cowards, and vampires out for blood.'
White (born Gillis) famously took - and kept - the four-time Grammy winner's surname after their 1996 wedding, and he told Rolling Stone in 2014 of her hermit nature: 'All the not talking didn't matter, because onstage? Nothing I do will top that.'
And the 12-time Grammy winner wasn't the only one coming to Meg's defense as his ex-wife #2 Karen Elson, six-time Grammy winner Questlove, Amanda Palmer, Ben Lee, and Grammy nominee Margo Price all took to Twitter to praise her.
