Kelly Clarkson reveals how her ugly divorce from Brandon Blackstock has impacted her music career

Kelly Clarkson reveals how her ugly divorce from Brandon Blackstock has impacted her music career: ‘I’ve got to get my c**p together’

She is a queen of the break-up song, thanks to classic hits such as Since U Been Gone and Miss Independent.

But Kelly Clarkson has confessed that she is having a tricky time picking her next big tune, considering the public will no doubt be connecting it to her very public and bitter divorce from ex Brandon Blackstock.

In a new interview on The Chart Show With Brooke Reese, which was released on Wednesday, the American Idol champ said she’s ‘got to get [her] c**p together’ and release something after putting her plans on hold to get through the marriage split. 

The 40-year-old singer and chat show host filed for divorce from her 43-year-old now-ex-husband in 2020, and the split was finalized last year.

Speaking out: Kelly Clarkson opened up about how her divorce from Brandon Blackstock affected her musical career during an interview on The Chart Show With Brooke Reese , which was released on Wednesday; she is seen with her husband in 2020

Clarkson began by illustrating the difficulty that had been placed on her by the end of her marriage. 

‘Everybody knows the huge divorce I went through and it’s been, like two years and not easy with kids,’ she said.

The Stronger singer then remarked that she was currently figuring out what she would be making available to the public. 

‘I’m just navigating what I’m comfortable with releasing. So, it’s just a hard thing to navigate,’ she stated.

Clarkson also expressed that working on music after her divorce had been a particularly arduous process. 

The performer made a point of stating that ‘I’ve never had this difficult of a project.’

She then noted that having her divorce play out ‘in the public eye’ coupled with her motherhood created ‘a whole different dynamic’ in her life.

The television personality did express that, although her fans would be able to enjoy new music in the future, she would have to get her personal life in order before anything premiered.

‘It’s coming. I just got to get my c**p together. I just got to figure out what I’m going to release,’ she said. 

Clarkson began seeing Blackstock in 2012, and they went on to tie the knot the following year.

The former couple went on to welcome daughter River Rose and son Remington Alexander, aged eight and six, over the course of her marriage.

The performer’s former husband also served as her manager during their time together.

Clarkson released three albums, entitled Wrapped In Red, Piece By Piece and Meaning Of Life, during her time with Blackstock.

However, it was revealed that the singer had filed for divorce in June of 2020.

The pair then began a legal battle over their children, and the singer received primary custody that November.

The singer was declared to be legally divorced in July of last year, and her split was formalized the following month.

D.L. Hughley is no longer acknowledging Mo’Nique following a monthlong feud between the comics that stemmed from him getting top billing over her at a May 28 concert in Detroit.

Hughley, 59, was asked by TMZ in Los Angeles on Wednesday about Mo’Nique, 54, and said he no longer will address the rift with her.

‘You only get so many breaths in your life and I refuse to use one more on somebody like that,’ Hughley said.

The latest: D.L. Hughley, 59, is no longer acknowledging Mo’Nique, 54, following a monthlong feud between the comics that stemmed from him getting top billing over her at a May 28 concert in Detroit. He was snapped onstage earlier this year in New Jersey 

He added of Mo’Nique, ‘I don’t even know who you talking about, I don’t even know who you talking about … I don’t even know who it is, I don’t even know who you’re talking about.’

Mo’Nique earlier this month apologized for remarks she made in reference to an alleged sexual assault on Hughley’s daughter; she was subsequently publicly criticized via social media by his eldest daughter, Ryan Nicole Shepard.

While performing at the Duke Energy Center of Performing Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina June 19, she said, ‘I like to consider myself a woman of honor, so, I have to do something right now publicly that I did publicly and when I f*** it up, I’ve got to fix it up. So, I’m going to take care of that right now – to D.L. Hughley’s family, to I want to publicly apologize if I hurt anyone’s feelings.

‘I want to publicly apologize to his wife, his babies, if I hurt their feelings because that was never my … intention. I never meant to hurt their feelings.’

Mo’Nique earlier this month apologized for remarks she made in reference to an alleged sexual assault on Hughley’s daughter

Hughley said of Mo’Nique, ‘You only get so many breaths in your life and I refuse to use one more on somebody like that’

After he was asked about the apology Wednesday, Hughley said, ‘I haven’t heard anything, I don’t listen to that – not at all.

‘I can tell you this: I work, my family’s intact, I just came from doing a benefit for the people that are affected by the tragedy in Buffalo. I go home and see my granddaughter.’

Hughley said he has ‘no words or breath for somebody like that,’ and he draws the line at attacks on his family.

The rift between the two initially began when Mo’Nique ripped Hughley onstage during The Comedy Explosion show, an event they both performed in, at the Fox Theater in Detroit on May 28.

In her set at, Mo’Nique said that she specifically signed onto the show as the headline act, and accused Hughley of threatening not to perform if he had to go on before her.

‘The contract – the motherf***ing contract says that a b**** is the headliner – the headliner – let me say it again, the headliner,’ Mo’Nique said. ‘That’s what the motherf***ing contract says, Mo’Nique is to be the last motherf***ing person on the … stage, she is the headliner. That’s what I signed the f*** up for, I’m 30-plus years in this and motherf***ing I don’t open for’ nobody.

Hughley, in response, shared a frame of Mo’Nique from the 2009 movie Precious in an Instagram post addressing her tirade

She continued: ‘The contract said the headliner, the contract said the headliner, the contract said the headliner, but … D.L. Hughley turned into a b**** and said, “I won’t perform if she does that … I won’t go out if she does that”‘ … so when I leave this motherf***er, the headliner has left.’

Mo’Nique noted that she has a ‘history’ with Hughley, saying he has past publicly criticized her professionally with no provocation.

In response, Hughley cited Mo’Nique’s past show business feuds, naming a litany of people and companies who Mo’Nique has past expressed issues with in illustrating her history of professional grievances.

‘Oprah was the problem, Tyler Perry was the problem, Charlamagne was the problem, Steve Harvey was the problem, Lee Daniels was the problem, Netflix was the problem… Now it’s MY turn,’ Hughley said. ‘At some point it can’t be everyone else, IT’S YOU!! Lesson learned … I wonder who’s next …’

Hughley noted Mo’Nique’s Oscar-winning performance in the 2009 movie Precious, in which she played the mercurial, abusive and manipulative mother of the titular character.

‘Apparently, the role you played in PRECIOUS turned out to be an autobiography,’ he said.

But all eyes were on Selena as she took the red carpet by storm in her super sparkly dress. 

The actress was polished to perfection with her brunette tresses slicked back into a stylish half up, half down ‘do.

She looked breathtaking with a smoky shade of eyeshadow swiped upon her lids, mascara livening up her lashes, and a glossy slick of lip gloss adorning her pout.

‘I was pleasantly shocked,’ Gomez told the publication.

The trio also talked about balancing the comedic elements of the show while still staying true to its overall crime narrative.

‘It’s always difficult to balance because you’re in a serious crime story, and then you wonder how big the comedy can get,’ Martin, 76, said. ‘And hopefully the editors and director guide you to the right degree of performance.’

The group also talked about some fun behind the scenes facts in the interview including that, despite his character’s obsession with dip, the 72-year-old Short doesn’t care for it much at all.

‘I don’t care about dips, personally,’ he said. The Three Amigos star also said they usually use ‘oatmeal or something fake’ while filming.

Plastered on the side of a tall building, the massive promo poster features a closeup of Hailey’s face with Rhode’s Barrier Restore Cream dotted on her cheeks, forehead and chin.

‘hello LA wave if you drive by @rhode on sunset,’ Bieber, 25, wrote to her 45.5 million Instagram fans and followers in a post shared Thursday.

A video shot from inside a car as it drove past the huge advert made it onto her Instagram Stories by Friday.

Wanting to show off some of Rhode’s standout products, Bieber took to her Instagram to share how she incorporates them into her current beauty routine.

Her go-to products: ‘Usually when my skin gets like this I only reach for products that will help calm and heal the skin while keeping bacteria away,’ she continued in a follow-up Story post. Staying in promo mode, Bieber proceeded to list off Rhode’s Barrier Restore Cream and the sold-out Peptide Glazing Fluid as her go-to products when her skin is flaring up 

‘For the past week my skin has been a little angry and irritated for I think a few factors: stress, travel, lack of sleep, PMS (premenstrual syndrome), and testing out a new product,’ she wrote alongside a closeup photo of herself highlighting small blemishes on her face.

Launch: Bieber launched Rhode, which also happens to be the model’s middle name, on June 15. On its website , which includes other photos of Bieber modeling for the company, the products are described as ‘a line of curated skincare essentials made with thoughtful intention.

Bieber launched Rhode, which also happens to be the model’s middle name, on June 15. 

On its website, which includes other photos of Bieber modeling for the company, the products are described as ‘a line of curated skincare essentials made with thoughtful intention. Our formulas nourish your skin barrier to instantly give you dewy, delicious skin while improving its look and feel over time.’

Rhode is also advertised as ‘a new philosophy on skincare’, while the products are described as ‘vegan, cruelty free, gluten-free and dermatologist developed.’ 

Less than two weeks after the launch of Rhode, Bieber and the company were slapped with a trademark infringement lawsuit from a fashion company using the same name that was formed back in 2013.

According to Good Morning America, the plaintiffs claim Bieber offered to purchase the RHODE trademark for clothing four years ago.

Rhode is also advertised as ‘a new philosophy on skincare’, while the products are described as ‘ vegan, cruelty free, gluten-free and dermatologist developed’ 

‘Today, we were forced to file a lawsuit against Hailey Bieber and her new skin-care line that launched last week and that is using the brand rhode,’ the co-owners of the nine-year-old, minority-owned Rhode clothing company wrote in a statement.

The co-owners stated that they ‘didn’t want to file this lawsuit,’ but they had to in order to protect against brand confusion.

Co-founders Purna Khatau and Phoebe Vickers, who filed the lawsuit on June 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, made a point of praising Bieber for creating her own skin-care line.

‘We don’t want to sue Hailey; we want to celebrate her. As fellow women entrepreneurs, we wish her every success,’ they said in a statement.

Bieber has not yet responded to the lawsuit or commented publicly on it, but a source associated with the model claims Hailey and the clothing company both have trademarks for different kinds of business, meaning the clothing company might not have a basis to sue her.

However, things appear to be copacetic between Ye and Kim at the moment, as she took to Instagram on Sunday to wish him a Happy Father’s Day.

Kim shared a snap of her estranged third husband and their four children – North, son Saint, six, daughter Chicago, 4, and son Psalm, 3, to her Instagram Stories.

Just a row away: The couple – who were declared legally single on March 2, 2022 – were seated just a row back from one another

After six years of wedded bliss, the half-Armenian socialite and Ye were declared legally single on March 2, and their next status conference divorce hearing is scheduled for August 5.

Kim opened up about her failed marriage while speaking to sister Khloe Kardashian in the finale of their reality series, The Kardashians, on Wednesday night.

While discussing Khloe’s, 37, relationship with cheating boyfriend Tristan Thompson, 31, Kim interjected with her own experience, saying, ‘If people knew what my relationship really was like, I think they would be like, “How did this last this long?”‘

She added, ‘But I can live with myself knowing that I tried everything humanly possible to make the situation work so I could walk away guilt free.’

Kim told Khloe: ‘I feel like you could at least say… you had a family, you tried everything in your might.. and you can look your daughter in the face and say that.’

Not present at the game was the SKIMS founder’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson, 28, who’s been the cause of Kanye’s ire multiple times in the recent past. 

The SNL comedian has already met the kids, and was even spotted on a one-on-one outing with their son Saint at The Grove in early June. 

West has past expressed anger toward Davidson since he’s been dating Kardashian, and drew him into the drama surrounding their custody arrangement earlier this year, giving him the derisive nickname ‘SKETE.’

Best dad: ‘Thank you for being the best dad to our babies and loving them the way you do! Happy Father’s Day Ye!’ she wrote

In February, the Grammy-winning singer shared a text message he claimed Davidson sent him in regards to his relationship with Kardashian’s kids.

The text read: ‘I’d never get in the way of your children. It’s a promise. How you guys go about raising your children is your business not mine. I do hope one I day I can meet them and we can all be friends.’

West said in a caption he subsequently deleted, ‘No, you will never meet my children.’ 

Difficult: Kim recently opened up about her failed marriage in the finale of The Kardashians, saying: ‘If people knew what my relationship really was like, I think they would be like, “How did this last this long?”‘
