Kelly Clarkson claims her ex-husband and former manager Brandon Blackstock told her she wasn’t “sexy” enough to serve as a judge on The voice and Clarkson fans are preparing their pitchforks.
He american idol Legend reportedly made the allegation about his ex to a California labor commissioner in 2023. According to court documents obtained by The Post on Tuesday, Clarkson told his manager that he wanted to star on NBC’s singing competition show.

Blackstock allegedly told his then-wife Kelly Clarkson that the network wanted “someone hot” like Rihanna.
“Boo this man,” wrote one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Wow! I understand a comment like that coming from the point of view of a ‘Hollywood’ business person because 99% of them are that crappy. But her THEN HUSBAND??!!!! That says more about him than it does about her. her,” roared another.
“Alexa, play Red Flag Collector by Kelly Clarkson,” a third added. “Imagine not thinking that his wife could pull it off based solely on her talent…. And just worrying about what she looks like and how much money she can make you. Scum,” said another.
The claim came amid the 2023 lawsuit that ultimately led to a California labor commissioner ordering Blackstock to pay Clarkson $2.6 million for illegally booking concerts for her then-spouse.

Additionally, she owes $208,125 for her collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Lines, $450,000 for her partnership with Wayfair, and $93.30 for her appearances as host of the Billboard Music Awards.
