Kelly Clarkson will get her millions back from her ex-husband

Kelly Clarkson‘s former spouse Brandon Blackstock, who managed her while they were married, must return the singer’s millions of dollars in overcharged commission.

A California labor commissioner ruled that Clarkson’s former manager overcharged the Grammy winner by seven figures when he worked for her.

Legal documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday showed that Blackstock crossed the line when he booked gigs and inked deals for his then-wife on The Voice, Norwegian Cruise Line, Wayfair, and as the host of the Billboard Music Awards.

The labor commissioner stated that only agents and not managers, can have the lawful right for securing talent roles. But, there are a few exceptions.

Brandon now owes the Stronger singer a total of $2,641,374 — a decision he’s planning to appeal.

The outlet also mentioned that he made $1.98 million in commission from the singer’s role on The Voice and only received $93.30 after she hosted the BMAs.

Clarkson wanted her spouse to return whatever percentage he made after she scored her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. However, the commission ruled that Brandon gets to keep the money.

Fans congratulated Clarkson for getting her money back and bashed Brandon on the internet. One wrote,

”Good for her…
I read recently that she’s back in the dating game. I hope that she finds a nice chap who treats her well- respects her and is a loyal bloke. 😊”

Another wrote,

”He totally latched onto her for the money and her FIL also supposedly ripped her off too…I hope she gets it ALL back!”

A third user commented,

”Wow imagine being overcharged by your husband.. this guy just can’t let go.”

Another wrote,

”He’s a grifter. Glad Kelly is rid of him.”

How did divorce change Kelly Clarkson’s life?

The Because of You hitmaker, 41, filed for divorce from Brandon, 46, in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.

It certainly wasn’t an easy one as the estranged couple got into a bitter custody battle over their 9-year-old daughter, River Rose, son, Remington “Remy” Alexander, 7, and their Montana ranch.

They finally settled their nasty divorce in March 2022.

Shortly after finalizing the divorce, Clarkson and her two kids moved to NYC, which according to the singer helped her get back on her feet.

In June, after leaving LA and Brandon, Kelly said,

“I think COVID pointed out a lot of things,”
“A lot of us didn’t make it relationship-wise.”

After releasing her cathartic album, Chemistry, Kelly responded to her fans if she was already back in the dating game.

In September, she told her Instagram followers,

“Do I have a boyfriend? No! And not looking. You know why? I love being single,”
“I have two kids, two dogs, three rabbits, a hamster, multiple jobs — there’s a lot going on,”

Clarkson elaborated that it’s “hard to start over” when “you think you’re going to spend the rest of your life with somebody, and you don’t.”
