The California Labor Commission\u200b uncovered Blackstock&#8217;s unlawful actions, including securing business\u2062 deals for Clarkson that should have been \u200dhandled by a \u200dlicensed agent.<\/p>\n<p>The commission has ruled that Blackstock must pay Clarkson \u200ca staggering $2,641,374 for overstepping his role in these\u200d deals. However, it did not find \u200chim guilty in regards\u2063 to Clarkson&#8217;s contract for &#8220;The Kelly Clarkson Show,&#8221; allowing him to retain those earnings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Following a recent \u2062legal battle, Kelly\u200b Clarkson\u2019s ex-husband \u2063and manager has \u200dbeen ordered to hand over $2.6 million in commissions for overcharging her.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pVmTbw8jRi\">https:\/\/t.co\/pVmTbw8jRi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Entertainment Tonight (@etnow)\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/etnow\/status\/1730324571201720787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ruling is based on \u2062the\u200d Talent Agencies Act \u2063(TAA), which states that a manager without a talent agency license cannot procure\u200c employment for artists. Clarkson initially filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband, \u2062accusing him of securing contracts and taking fees in return.<\/p>\n<p>The documents revealed that\u2064 Blackstock earned $1.98 million in commissions for Clarkson&#8217;s role as a judge on &#8220;The Voice,&#8221; with a commission of only $93.30 for securing the host spot \u2063on the music awards, as reported by\u2063 Entertainment Tonight. Blackstock&#8217;s legal team has filed an appeal against the\u2064 ruling.<\/p>\n<p>This legal battle comes after Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in 2020, following\u2064 nearly seven years of marriage. \u2062The divorce was finalized \u2062in 2022 after settling child and spousal support. Clarkson and Blackstock have two children together, River Rose \u200dand Remy.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 a recent interview, Clarkson opened up about the impact of the divorce on their \u2062children. \u2062She shared how she asks them every night if\u2063 they are happy and what could make\u200b them happier,\u200d revealing \u200dtheir longing for their parents to be together.
