<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kelly-clarkson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelly Clarkson</a>&#8216;s ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has been ordered to pay back the singer almost $3 million dollars in their ongoing legal battle after being found guilty of overcharging the singer on several of her contracts while acting as her manager.</p>
<p>The California Labor Commission found that Blackstock unlawfully procured business deals for Clarkson as her manager, such as her landing the hosting gig for the Billboard Music Awards and her role as a judge on &#8220;The Voice,&#8221; according to legal documents obtained by <a href="https://people.com/kelly-clarkson-ex-brandon-blackstock-must-pay-her-over-2-million-8409238" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a>.</p>
<p>The commission ordered Blackstock to pay the Grammy Award-winning artist $2,641,374 for overstepping his role in deals that it said could have only been handled by a licensed agent.</p>
<p>The commission&#8217;s ruling found Blackstock crossed the line for her contracts for the music awards, the TV reality competition spot, Norwegian cruise and Wayfair. However, it didn&#8217;t agree that Blackstock had when it came to her landing the contract for &#8220;The Kelly Clarkson Show&#8221; and ruled that Blackstock will retain the earnings.</p>

<p>The documents showed that Clarkson&#8217;s ex-husband earned $1.98 million in commissions for her role as a judge on &#8220;The Voice&#8221; and that his commission for getting the host spot on the music awards was $93.30, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kelly-clarksons-ex-husband-brandon-blackstock-overcharged-her-as-manager-ordered-to-return-millions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight</a> noted. Blackstock&#8217;s legal team has filed an appeal.</p>
<p>The ruling comes after Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June of 2020 following almost seven years of marriage together. Their divorce was finally official in 2022 after child and spousal support was settled, ET noted. Clarkson and Blackstock share two children together, daughter River Rose and son Remy.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ctr5ievPxI&amp;t=1342s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent interview</a>, the singer talked about how hard the divorce was on their kids.</p>
<p>&#8220;I literally ask my kids every night when we&#8217;re snuggling up in the bed: &#8216;Are you happy? And if you&#8217;re not, what could make you happier?'&#8221; Clarkson said. &#8220;A lot of times they&#8217;ll be like: &#8216;You know, I&#8217;m just really sad. I wish Mommy and Daddy were in the same house.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8216;They&#8217;re really honest about it,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I&#8217;m from a divorced family as well. It sucks.&#8221;</p>
