Requesting the case be dismissed, Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, is fighting back against her latest lawsuit.
In the January-filed legal paperwork, the superstar singer/television host alleged that she should be awarded more than the $2,600,000.000 that the California Labor Commissioner’s Office ruled Blackstock owed her.
According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Blackstock and his management firm, Starstruck Management, deny “each and every allegation” raised by the pop superstar, arguing that the lawsuit should be dismissed, stating:
“(Clarkson’s) complaint fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against Starstruck,” “and is, therefore, barred for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.”
According to 2024 court records, Blackstock secured his former-wife a variety of professional, income bearing opportunities, including becoming a coach on The Voice, hosting the Billboard Music Awards and brand deals with companies such as Norwegian Cruise Line and Wayfair.
In a statement to Rolling Stone magazine at the time, Brandon’s attorney, Bryan Freedman insisted: “It is morally, ethically and legally wrong to attempt to get monies back from your ex-husband who not only helped her as her manager but who used those earnings on their children and Kelly and Brandon’s lifestyle during the marriage.”
Prior to ending their marriage in June 2020, Kelly and Brandon were married for nearly seven years, and couple share two children, daughter River Rose (9,) and son Remington ‘Remy’ Alexander (8.).
