After Kelly Clarkson filed to end her marriage to Brandon Blackstock in 2020, it took over a year for the couple to come to an agreement on issues like custody of their two children, property ownership and past business deals. Now, two years since they did finalize their divorce, Clarkson’s ex-husband has been ordered to pay her over $2 million in fees he collected from booking several jobs while acting as her manager — despite the fact that she’s still on the hook for child and spousal support.
Even after coming to terms on their divorce, the legal battles waged on between the talk show host and the Blackstock family, with Brandon and his father Narvel Blackstock saying Kelly Clarkson owed them over $5 million in unpaid commissions. Clarkson countered that their agreement was “unenforceable,” and it seems the court agrees. Per TMZ, a California labor commissioner has now ruled that Blackstock must repay $2,641,374 in fees he collected from booking several jobs for Clarkson as her manager.
