Despite the awkwardness, it seems there were no hard feelings between the two, as Kathy has since spoken fondly of Jack in other interviews.
Kathy Griffin, 64, shared a rare and humorous anecdote about her brief fling with Jack Black in a new TikTok post, offering fans a peek into their past. Holding up a throwback photo of them cuddling on a sofa in the 1990s, Kathy quipped, “This is a picture of me and my then-boyfriend Jack Black, who you probably know mostly from School of Rock.” She added that Jack was the first boyfriend she had where “other bros thought I was cool because I was dating him” before joking, “And by the way, dating is a very loose term.”
Kathy then set the scene, recalling that Jack lived in an apartment on Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. It was during a night spent at his place that she recounted a particularly off-putting moment. While she didn’t go into full detail, it was clear the experience left her with a cringe-worthy memory.

She remembered being in the shower when she asked him for a towel, only for Jack to respond, “You’re standing on it.” Kathy deadpanned, “You guys, that’s straight guys,” revealing that Jack had been using a single bathmat as both a towel and a bathmat. “Naturally, I kept sleeping with him,” she quipped, poking fun at the situation with her usual comedic flair.
While Kathy has rarely spoken about her dalliance with Jack, she did mention him in her 2009 memoir Official Book Club Selection.

I f***ed Jack Black.” She went on to joke that their brief relationship “was a relationship in my book,” adding, “And by the way, this is my book.”
