Kelly Clarkson Wins Key Rulings Ahead of New Trial With Ex-Husband

Kelly Clarkson won't have to answer questions about her ex-husband's claims his fees funded their marriage as war over $2.6 million judgment heats up

Her decision followed after Clarkson’s lawyer, Ed McPherson, argued that if his client prevails at the de novo proceeding in August, Blackstock and his family-owned management company, Starstruck Entertainment, will be barred from pursuing the claims in their 2020 lawsuit at a follow-up trial. “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,” Bryan Freedman, who represents Blackstock and Starstruck, said. The couple’s bitter breakup was on display during the commission’s evidentiary hearing last year when Clarkson testified that she was never approached by NBC to work on the American version of The Voice before Blackstock reached out to them.
