Singer and songwriter, Kelly Clarkson, lauded for her chart-topping single “Since You’ve Been Gone”, and her memorable performance in the movie 40 Year Old Virgin, seems to be making waves in the legal world these days. Following a victorious lawsuit against her former agency, Starstruck Entertainment, she is swiftly moving forward to take a second bite at the apple, so to speak.
According to a recent article by Billboard, Clarkson’s ongoing legal battle against her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, is escalating with a new lawsuit. This suit aims to go beyond her initial $2.6 million win, demanding the return of all forms of payments made to Starstruck Entertainment, dating back to 2007. This time period surpasses that of the previous judgement, which only accounted for costs back to 2017.
Unafraid of legal battles, Clarkson’s aggressive pursuit of justice, in the face of her divorce, has led to her counterclaim of Starstruck Entertainment’s violation of the California Talent Agencies Act. It becomes evident that you can’t squeeze more than what’s legally due without bearing the brunt of the law.
While the results of this ongoing case are still pending, it’s clear that this saga brings to light an age-old adage – always keep your friends close and your legal team closer. If the outcome isn’t satisfactory for Clarkson, she might just take inspiration from colleagues like Taylor Swift and churn this heartbreak into an album.
