Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock have decided to resolve their dispute over management fees in a lawsuit that Clarkson filed against Blackstock. The lawsuit was dismissed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, with both parties requesting a dismissal ‘with prejudice,’ meaning it cannot be refiled at a later date. The documents obtained by DailyMail.com confirm the dismissal of the suit, indicating that the exes have reached a settlement in the dispute, although the specific details of the settlement were not disclosed. This lawsuit stemmed from Clarkson’s allegations that Blackstock had made improper business deals on her behalf, resulting in a $2.6 million judgment against him from the California Labor Commission in November 2023.
The dismissal request was filed by an attorney for Blackstock’s Starstruck Management Group, requesting the dismissal ‘with prejudice,’ which signifies that the case is permanently ended and cannot be refiled in the same court. Clarkson’s legal team also reportedly filed a similar request for dismissal with prejudice, as reported by The Blast. The terms of the settlement between Clarkson and Blackstock are still unclear at this time. This resolution marks the end of the legal battle between the former couple over management fees and unauthorized deals that Clarkson accused Blackstock of making on her behalf. The agreement to dismiss the lawsuit signifies a step towards ending their feud and moving forward amicably.
