Kelly Clarkson ‘denies owing millions’ in ex father-in-law Narvel Blackstock’s lawsuit amid divorce from his son Brandon
KELLY Clarkson is fighting back at her ex father-in-law Narvel Blackstock’s music company’s $1.4M lawsuit that claims the pop star “owes millions.”
The 38-year-old singer has allegedly denied she needs to pay up any money as she continues to also battle husband Brandon Blackstock in court during their nasty divorce.

As The Sun previously reported, her in-law’s company, Starstruck Management Group, is suing Kelly for “refusing” to pay millions they claim they’re owed.
The lawsuit alleges the money the business is seeking stems from the star’s work on The Voice and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
However, Kelly has filed a new petition with the California Labor Commission, seeking an order “declaring that the alleged agreement be declared void,” according to documents obtained The Blast.
Last month, the talk show host fired back at the lawsuit and said in the documents her father-in-law “acted as an unlicensed talent agent.”

According to a labor petition filed in October, Kelly claimed that Starstruck Management Group violated the California Labor Code for “procuring, offering, promising, or attempting to procure employment or engagements” for her without first obtaining a talent agency license.
She also insisted in the docs that any and all agreements – including their reported verbal contract in which she agreed to pay them 15% commission on her gross earnings – be “declared void and unenforceable.”
In the petition, Kelly explained that the talent agency evaded “the licensing requirements” set forth by the Talent Agencies Act by listing their alleged violations.
This allegedly includes a failure to submit a written application for a license and to write a formal talent agency agreement with her.

American Idol alum Kelly also claimed that both husband Brandon and his dad, 64, acted as “unlicensed talent agents” which is why she believes she does not have to pay Starstruck the commission they’re seeking.
The lawsuit remains ongoing as the pop star insists she doesn’t owe a dime.
Narvel was famously married to country music legend Reba McEntire from 1989 until 2015.
Kelly’s court chaos also comes as Kelly deals with her divorce, which she filed months ago due to “irreconcilable differences.”

She also asked for joint physical and legal custody of their children, daughter River Rose, five, and son Remington Alexander, four.
Brandon, 43, has two kids from a previous marriage.
As the court battle heats up, The Sun exclusively revealed that the TV personality filed to replace her initial attorney, Terry Ross, with Laura Wasser.
The divorce lawyer has been dubbed the “Disso Queen,” as her A-list clients include Angelina Jolie, Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner, Britney Spears, Ryan Reynolds, Gwen Stefani and others.
