Los Angeles, California – Renowned singer Kelly Clarkson has filed a new lawsuit in Los Angeles against her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock and his father’s management company, Starstruck Entertainment, alleging labor violations in California. This legal action follows Clarkson’s previous victory in a similar case last month and is expected to further delve into the alleged irregularities.
In the lawsuit, Clarkson seeks redress for what she deems as prolonged non-compliance by Blackstock and Starstruck Entertainment with the state’s labor regulations. Specifically, reference is made to the violation of the Talent Agencies Act, alleging that the company operated as an “unlicensed talent agency” since 2007, engaging in commercial activities on her behalf.
The singer requests the nullification of all prior agreements with the defendant company and full reimbursement of all money paid since 2007. This includes commissions, fees, profits, advances, production fees, and any other payments made to Starstruck Entertainment.
Blackstock, through his attorney Bryan Freedman, has defended his position by arguing that it is unfair to attempt to recover funds that, according to him, were used to support both Clarkson and their children during their marriage. Freedman insists that Blackstock not only served as Clarkson’s manager but also invested the income in the family’s well-being.
This latest legal development in the dispute between Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock could be seen as a strategic counterattack by the artist. Given the history of litigation between the two parties, this case is likely to have significant implications for both sides.
The outcome of this case is yet to be determined, but it is evident that both parties are committed to fighting for their interests in court.
