Kelly Clarkson seems to be coming out “Stronger” with the years that have passed since her divorce.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, a labour commissioner has ruled that the singer’s ex-husband Brandon Blackstock overcharged her millions of dollars when he represented her as a manager.
Per the source, Blackstock “crossed the line” as a manager when he handled gigs and deals for his then-wife on Norwegian Cruise Line, as a host on Billboard Music Awards, and on The Voice, as only agents can lawfully finalise such roles. Now, he needs to pay US$2.6 million back to Clarkson and has already appealed the ruling, states TMZ.
