Kelly Clarkson Alleges Ex Said She’s Not ‘Sexy’ Like Rihanna
New details are coming out surrounding pop star and talk show host Kelly Clarkson’s divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who for years also acted as her manager.
According to Page Six, while they were married, Blackstock told Clarkson that getting her a gig on The Voice would be a tough sell because NBC execs were “looking for a more sex symbol type” and wanted “someone sexy” like Rihanna. The outlet also reports that, in court, Clarkson told her lawyer that “a wife doesn’t forget a time she gets told she’s not a sex symbol.”
In court documents filed in December that were obtained by The Daily Beast, Clarkson alleged that Blackstock, who is not a licensed talent agent, unlawfully negotiated the main terms of her contract to become a coach on the NBC singing competition The Voice without Creative Artists Agency, Clarkson’s talent agency at the time.
