Kelly Clarkson has been divorced from Brandon Blackstock for years, but her ex-husband is still trying to get more money from her. Now, a new report says the pop star understandably holds a lot of bitterness towards her ex, even if she’s careful about what she says about him publicly.

Kelly Clarkson has amassed dazzling wealth with chart-toppers, best-sellers, and blockbusters, and her empire is a testament to her star power.

However, the insider says that Clarkson plans to fight any future attempts by Brandon to gain more financially from her. She’s also eager to recoup the money she believes he owes her.

“Kelly refuses to allow Brandon to walk away with more money than he deserves,” they explained. “She has worked hard to get to a happier place post-divorce, but she still holds a lot of resentment toward him.”

Following their divorce in 2020, Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock, who were married from 2013 until their separation, maintained a professional relationship intertwined with personal matters. Blackstock served as Clarkson's manager for over a decade, and had been receiving a portion of her earnings as commissions. Their agreement, dating back to 2007 when Clarkson became a signee at his company Starstruck, mandated a 15% commission on her gross income, a standard practice in the entertainment industry.

However, following their split, Kelly claimed Blackstock and his management company defrauded her by taking more commissions than they were owed. Initially, Starstruck took legal action against Clarkson, alleging she owed them $1.4 million in commissions, primarily stemming from her roles on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "The Voice."

Clarkson swiftly responded by filing a petition with the California Labor Commission, effectively putting a hold on Starstruck's lawsuit until a ruling is made. In her petition, Clarkson accused her former spouse of engaging in fraudulent practices, citing overcharging and lack of proper licensing to operate as a talent agent. She is seeking restitution of commissions and stands firm in her assertion of being wronged in the professional realm.

Despite their marital dissolution, the legal battle over owed commissions continues to be fiercely contested between Clarkson, Blackstock, and his management company. But with her reported willingness to fight him for what she’s owed, it doesn’t seem like Clarkson is afraid to spend big on lawyers fees to avoid paying her ex.
