Keep your friends close and your legal team closer.

gavel scalesKelly Clarkson is known for her hit single “Since You’ve Been Gone” and that one scene from 40 Year Old Virgin. What she should be known for is her damn good legal team. Fresh off of a legal win, Clarkson is going back to collect more from her former agency. From Billboard:

Kelly Clarkson’s ongoing legal battle with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock is expanding with a new lawsuit aimed at potentially going much further than the $2.6 million ruling she won against him last fall.

…

Clarkson’s new lawsuit is seeking an order that would require the return of “any and all commissions, fees, profits, advances, producing fees or other monies” she paid to Blackstock’s father’s company, Starstruck Entertainment, dating back to 2007 – much further back than the earlier judgment, which only reached back to 2017.

Billboard covered the prior suit. You can read about it here.

The continued suit is a great example of an always timely adage: fuck around and find out. It looks like Starstruck’s attempt to squeeze money out of Clarkson after the divorce is what gave rise to her counterclaim that they violated the California Talent Agencies Act.

If the ruling from this pending case isn’t enough, Clarkson could always take a page out of Taylor Swift’s book and turn this heartbreak into an album.
