While on the subject of her romance with Black, Griffin further confessed how Andy Dick spoiled their relationship.
Griffin explained: "Oh! You know who got in between us? Not as a couple but like, he started hanging out with Andy Dick a lot... and Andy Dick is also someone you feel free to Google because there's quite a history there, I believe he spent some time incarcerated in Lake Elsinore, California, which is... something.
"I think Jack just got bored with me, but anyways, he was a fun boyfriend to have because he's an amazing singer.
"You probably know that because of School of Rock, but he would sing to me sometimes! Isn't that sweet?"
