\n\tClarkson requested a dismissal of the case on Tuesday (May 21), while Blackstock and his father\u2019s management firm, Starstruck Entertainment, requested to dismiss the case on Wednesday (May 22), according to court documents reviewed by Billboard<\/em> \u2014 though the documents do not mention a settlement. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard<\/em> has reached out to Clarkson and Blackstock\u2019s reps for more information but did not receive a response at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe reported settlement comes two months after Clarkson filed a case in Los Angeles court on March 14 seeking a ruling that Starstruck Entertainment had been violating state labor rules stemming from the start of their relationship. The lawsuit sought the return of \u201cany and all commissions, fees, profits, advances, producing fees or other monies\u201d she paid to Starstruck Entertainment dating all the way back to 2007.<\/p>\n

\n\tClarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020 after seven years of marriage. The case was finalized in 2022, and the singer agreed to pay her ex-husband monthly child support of $45,601 for their two children \u2014 nine-year-old daughter River Rose and eight-year-old son Remy Alexander \u2014 plus a one-time payment of $1.3 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tShortly after Clarkson filed for divorce, Starstruck sued her for alleged unpaid fees, claiming the company had \u201cinvested a great deal of time, money, energy, and dedication\u201d into her and had \u201cdeveloped Clarkson into a mega superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, Clarkson filed a complaint with California\u2019s Labor Commissioner, claiming that Blackstock and Starstruck had violated California\u2019s Talent Agencies Act by serving as her managers as well as unlicensed talent agents who booked her business deals. In November, a Labor Commissioner\u00a0ruled in Clarkson\u2019s favor and Blackstock was ordered to repay Clarkson more than $2.6 million in commissions she paid him for handling a number of deals, including her role as a coach on The Voice<\/em>. A month later, Blackstock and Starstruck challenged the ruling in court, asking for a Los Angeles judge to rule rather than the Labor Commissioner. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
