Kelly Clarkson and Ex Brandon Blackstock Set Trial Date for August

A judge ruled that the upcoming trial will focus on whether Brandon Blackstock illicitly collected fees on deals he brokered for then-wife Kelly Clarkson

With the date now set for August 27, the trial will focus exclusively on whether Blackstock, 47, collected fees on deals he helped broker for Clarkson, 42, in violation of California’s Talent Agencies Act. The trial is expected to last at least five days and to include live testimony from Rick Roskin and Darryl Eaton, two agents with Clarkson’s current agency, CAA. Court filings obtained by Rolling Stone say that CAA agent Cat Carson testified last year that the two did not ask Blackstone to negotiate directly with the NBC executive.
