In the ongoing divorce saga between Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock, the GRAMMY-winning singer has emerged victorious in a recent legal battle over alleged overcharging by Blackstock, who also served as her manager.
The latest ruling by a California labor commissioner states that Blackstock overstepped his role as a manager when securing various lucrative gigs and deals for Clarkson.
Legal documents obtained by ET reveal that Blackstock went beyond the bounds of his position by booking gigs and finalizing contracts for the star on platforms such as The Voice, Norwegian Cruise Line, Wayfair, and as the host of the Billboard Music Awards.
The commissioner's decision indicates that, with few exceptions, only agents are permitted to lawfully secure such roles for talent. As a result, Blackstock has been ordered to hand over commissions totaling $2,641,374 to his former wife.
Notably, the documents disclose that Blackstock earned $1.98 million in commissions for Clarkson's role on The Voice, while his commission for her hosting duties at the Billboard Music Awards amounted to a mere $93.30. Despite the setback, Blackstock has declared his intention to appeal the ruling.
