Kelly Clarkson Sues Ex-Husband for Acting as Unlicensed Talent Agent

The singer seeks to recover fees dating back to 2007, expanding her legal battle beyond a previous $2.6 million victory.

Kelly Clarkson has filed a new lawsuit against her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, and his father's management company, Starstruck Entertainment, for acting as unlicensed talent agents.
The lawsuit seeks the return of all commissions and fees paid to Starstruck Entertainment dating back to 2007, expanding beyond the scope of a previous $2.6 million ruling in Clarkson's favor.
Blackstock is currently appealing the November 2023 ruling, but Clarkson's new lawsuit could undermine his appeal if she wins.
Clarkson's legal battle with Blackstock began after their divorce in 2020, with multiple lawsuits filed between the parties over management fees and commissions.
The ongoing legal dispute highlights issues related to the California Talent Agencies Act and the role of unlicensed talent agents in the entertainment industry.
