Jelly Roll Reveals That’s He’s In Therapy

December 11, 2023

Jelly Roll is being honest about doing the work to improve his mental health.

Earlier in December, Jelly made a guest appearance on “The Daily Show” podcast.

He and guest host Charlamagne tha God talked openly and seriously about the importance of therapy for his mental health. Charlamagne asked Jelly Roll to talk about how and what he’s done to work on himself.

Jelly Roll said he’s taken the time to love himself. He told Charlamagne that he’s learning to listen to himself. Then he shared, “I go to therapy, I take it very seriously.”

According to Jelly Roll, having faith and believing in a higher power are equally important to his evolution as a man. He described himself as an old-school Southern man.

And Jelly Roll said, “I’m just really rooted in my faith, my belief that more than anything, I search for purpose.”

Jelly Roll doesn’t think that mental health therapy and what he calls “old-school Southern” religion pose any conflicts with each other, either.

Jelly Roll On Faith and Therapy

He told Charlamagne, “I believe in God and therapy and I believe in the universe.” He even confessed that he’s becoming more open-minded as he ages.

He’s always been open and honest about his former life on the poorest streets around Nashville. When he was in his teens and early twenties, Jelly was often in trouble with the law. He spent years in prison after being convicted of dealing substances.

And, at one time, he confessed he couldn’t see a way out of his dark life. But the birth of his daughter while he was in prison sent him in a new direction that changed the course of his life.

Jelly Roll began to work hard to become a musician. Eventually, his hard work and patience paid off. He is now a country superstar.

But success and fame are not the most important things to Jelly Roll. As he’s gotten more successful, he started to focus on giving back to his community.

He performs live for inmates at local prisons and for patients at rehab facilities. He also raised funds to build a recording studio in a special location — inside the juvenile detention center where he served time as a youth.

During the holiday season, Jelly Roll runs a massive toy drive to collect Christmas gifts for kids throughout middle Tennessee.

His music also has a higher purpose. Songs like “Son of a Sinner,” “She,” and “Save Me” include messages of hope for people he can identify with. These people may be poverty-stricken, lonely, or struggling with a dependence on substances. Jelly Roll writes and sings for those who have told him they didn’t feel represented in country music before.

He explained it more, saying “I feel like I’m a voice for the voiceless… and I speak for a group of people that never have been properly spoken for…”

The One Shift that Helped Jelly Roll Become a Better Man

Jelly Roll said he takes his role in country music very seriously. There is one distinction between the man he was and the mean he is becoming. “I quit searching to be happy… and I started searching to be useful,” he shared.

He claims that everything negative in his life began to change when he became a man of service. “I’m finding purpose in life… and it’s really cool,” he added.

When Jelly Roll appeared on The Daily Show, he had something else to celebrate. Charlamagne wished Jelly a happy birthday — and the audience joined in, too. The country star’s actual birthdate is December 4, 1984.

Charlamagne talked about another celebration on the podcast episode. “You celebrated a number one record with ‘Save Me,” he told Jelly. “Man, what a birthday present.”

He then asked, “You released it, what, three years ago on YouTube?” Charlamagne couldn’t believe Jelly Roll’s post on YouTube when he uploaded the song.

At the time, the artist wrote that he wasn’t sure if the song should make it to the album or not: “I know this is a little different for me… but I’m wondering if this should make the album or not.”

That comment shocked Charlamagne, since “Save Me’” has become such a big hit. He asked Jelly Roll, “Why didn’t you believe the song should make the album?”

Why Jelly Roll Almost Didn’t Publish ‘Save Me’

Once again, Jelly Roll spoke honestly about how his mind and thoughts sometimes get in his way. “Oh, man, insecurity, that voice of negativity that gets in all of our ears,” he said.

He also admitted that he fights that voice in his head almost every day, but added that he’s glad he fought enough to put the song up.

“Save Me” also taught Jelly Roll an important lesson. He told Charlamagne that he needed to let go and let the song find people. The song was released on YouTube a few years ago but only recently hit number one on the country charts.

Jelly shared some great insight on why the song took years to find its audience. “You know, music meets us where we are,” he said, adding that he thinks that’s the beauty of music.

As Jelly Roll said on The Daily Show music is there to help and heal. He was just glad to see the song finally touch people since that’s what’s important to him.

He added that he wants to talk about the things people are afraid to talk about.

Cardi B Confirms Break Up With Offset

December 11, 2023

Cardi B has confirmed that she is now single.

The “WAP” rapper responded to rumors about her relationship with her husband Offset coming to an end on Instagram.

A recording of Cardi’s stream on Instagram Live last weekend made its way onto X, formerly known as Twitter. The 31-year-old made the admission that she had “been single for a while now.”

She went on to say that she didn’t know how to tell the world about her news. But that Sunday, she said that she felt like the events of the day had been a “sign.”

Cardi B Denied Cheating Accusations

Cardi admitted that she doesn’t “think it’s true” that Offset cheated on her with Chrisean Rock. She was responding after Offset took to Twitter earlier on Sunday to deny accusations made by Chrisean’s ex, Blueface.

However, Cardi also said that she didn’t “care to find out.” Earlier in the stream, she mentioned that there had been some clues about her relationship status on her Lives and Stories in recent times.

PEOPLE reported last week that fans had noticed that she and Offset had both unfollowed each other on Instagram. Cardi also shared several messages on her Stories that acknowledged the problems in her personal life.

One message read, “You know when you just out grow relationships.” To this she added that she was “tired of protecting people’s feelings” and said, “I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.”

In a previous Instagram Live, the famous rapper also talked about dropping “dead weight.” In her message to fans on Sunday, Cardi explained that she wanted to start the new year “fresh” and “open” and that she was “curious for a new life, for a new beginning.”

She ended her announcement saying that she was “excited” for what was to come.

Cardi B and Offset Attended Events Separately

The announcement was made online after both Cardi and Offset had attended the TikTok In the Mix music festival in Mesa, Arizona. They were not photographed together during the event.

Last Friday, Offset had performed at an Art Basel party, but PageSix reported that he brought his mom as his date instead of Cardi. PEOPLE reported that they had reached out to both Cardi and Offset following the news, but representatives for both had not immediately responded.

In the wake of fans noticing that they had unfollowed each other, Offset also responded on his socials. He posted an expletive-laden clip from the movie Scarface on Instagram Stories.

In the clip, Al Pacino says at one point, “Who put this thing together? Me! Who do I trust? Me!”.

They Recently Celebrated Their Fifth Anniversary

Cardi and Offset celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary three months ago. At the time, Cardi shared a video of the display of flowers Offset had covered their home with to mark the occasion.

Alongside the clip, Cardi wrote, “Thank you for the flowers, the empowerment, the protection and for being a great father to our children.” She added that she loved “so many things” about her husband.

In a similar post, Offset wrote that since he met Cardi, he had “grown to become a better man”, and that he could “trust (her) with his life.”

The former couple share two children.

Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell Dead At 29 Following Cancer Battle

December 11, 2023

The Honey Boo Boo family has just announced that the oldest daughter, Anna Cardwell, has unfortunately passed away at just 29 years old.

After weeks of the family sharing updates about what was going on with her, her journey with cancer has tragically ended.

According to Mama June, Anna passed away on December 9, 2023, at 11:12 pm.

She was at June’s home, and she passed surrounded by her family and other people that she asked to be there.

Mama June asked for prayers and said that they would announce the funeral arrangements after they made them on December 10th. And even more tragically, December 9th is her daughter Kylee’s birthday.

Anna Battled a Rare Form of Adrenal Cancer

This all began in January of 2023 when Anna announced that she had been diagnosed with a rare adrenal cancer and that it was Stage 4.

But at the time, no one shared too many details. Anna was just 29 years old and had two daughters, Kylee and Kaitlyn, who are seven and ten respectively.

For a while, the family was pretty quiet about the circumstances surrounding Anna’s diagnosis. But then a little while after the announcement, Mama June came forward in an interview with Entertainment Tonight to talk about the prognosis.

She said that the family had all accepted that the disease was terminal, and that Anna wasn’t going to go into remission. She also shared that it was always on her mind, but that they were just trying to take it day by day.

She said that the girls knew that she was sick, but that they didn’t know what that meant exactly or just how sick she was. For months, that was the only update the family shared.

Things Took A Devastating Turn A Few Weeks Ago

People began questioning if there had been a turn in Anna’s health a few weeks ago, just days after the family shared that things were starting to take a devastating turn.

Justin, Mama June’s husband, shared that Anna asked not to be on camera anymore.

And then Anna shared a picture on her Instagram with a pretty sad quote: “If I pass away unexpectedly, remind my kids every time you see them how much I love them, and how I would do anything in this world for them. This is all I want.”

That was in late October, and it was then that people started questioning if things had gone from bad to worse for Anna. Just about two weeks ago, in mid-November, the family shared that they were going on their last family trip with Anna.

Pumpkin wrote about it on the Facebook page for her new business, The Sisters Closet. But Mama June said that Honey Boo Boo, who prefers to go by Alana now, wouldn’t be joining them on the trip because of her school.

Then Mama June shared in a TikTok live that Anna’s cancer had spread, and that she had stopped doing any kind of treatment.

Some fans were speculating that Anna, her husband, and her two girls had moved in with Mama June and Justin. It seemed like the family was in a holding period as things got worse and worse with Anna and she tried to live out her final days in peace.

After a few days of silence, they all started sharing some pretty devastating updates in the last couple of days. First Pumpkin shared a message on her business Facebook page. “Hey everyone, I don’t normally post things like this but send up prayers for our family,” she wrote.

Fans Started Fearing the Worst On Social Media

Immediately, everyone started speculating that something had happened to Anna as the rest of the family went quiet on social media. And that seemed to be exactly the case, because then Mama June came out with some statements of her own.

She shared a TikTok and an Instagram reel saying that things have progressed badly for Anna over the last few weeks and that she’s in her transition. She asked for prayers as they were going through this process and said that they would update everyone as things progressed.

But then in her TikTok, she said that this was the last time she’d be on social media until Anna had passed away, whenever that may be.

In the TikTok, Mama June said that the family would share a joint family statement when Anna passes away. And that’s exactly what they did.

Please take some time to send some positive thoughts and prayers to Alana, Mama June, Pumpkin, and the rest of the family as they go through this truly devastating time.

December 8, 2023

Kellie Pickler is ready to put the past behind her. According to reports, the singer has just listed her Nashville, Tennessee mansion for sale.

This was the same house where tragedy struck in February of this year, after her husband lost his life there. Kyle Jacobs ended his own life in the home he shared with Kellie.

After months of grieving, Kellie has finally decided to move on, announcing that the four bed, five bath mansion is for sale on November 29.

Kellie’s Husband Tragically Passed Away In the House

The former American Idol singer originally bought the custom built 4,865 square foot property in 2010 for $1.43 million.

The extravagant home comes fitted with a swimming pool, a two story fireplace and a wine cellar. A year after purchasing the house, Kellie married Kyle. They both went on to star in the reality show I Love Kellie Pickler for three seasons.

According to OK! Magazine, her husband was 49 years old when he passed away in what was reported to be one of the bedrooms or offices in the mansion.

After her loss, a source stated to OK! Magazine that Kellie couldn’t bear to stay in the house anymore, and had been staying with friends.

The source went on to say that the singer believed that it doesn’t feel like home anymore. Another insider opened up about Kellie’s reaction to losing Kyle, who was a fellow country singer and songwriter like Kellie.

Kellie Has Been Grieving Privately

According to the toxicology report, Kyle had a history of chronic drinking, but Kellie was not aware of his habits. The source added that Kellie was also unaware that Kyle’s mental health was as bad as it was. But Kyle reportedly kept the worst of his personal struggles from his wife.

For Kellie, Kyle’s passing has remained a confusing mystery. and she has even been said by sources to have blamed herself. Even though her friends tell her it’s not her fault, she confessed that she wished she could have done more for him.

Kellie grieved privately for six months before opening up about her loss. She has only made one statement since his passing. She stated in August that one of the most beautiful lessons her husband taught her was in a moment of crisis, just do nothing, and be still. She went on to say that she had chosen to take his advice.

Kellie then thanked her family, friends and supporters for the countless letters, calls and messages that they had sent her, which she stated helped get her through the darkest time of her life.

Kellie also shared that she has been planning an intimate memorial for her husband, which is what he would have wanted. After her private grieving period ended, Kellie seems to be moving on. According to TMZ, the house she shared with Kyle is on the market for nearly $2.9 million.

Bam Margera Allowed Visitation With Son

December 7, 2023

According to TMZ, Bam Margera has regained the right to visit his son, Phoenix.

Following years of problems with illegal substances, Bam has also recently celebrated over 100 days sober.

Due to these problems, Bam lost full-time custody and the ability to see his son when he and his wife, Nicole Boyd, broke up.

After reaching 100 days and remaining committed to his recovery, the judge presiding over the case determined Bam was in a good state to spend time with his son again.

One condition for his visitation is that a professional supervisor needs to be present when Bam is visiting. Bam must also inform Niki when he intends to visit so that they can schedule a supervisor.

The visitation rights have excited Bam since he’s only been able to speak with Phoenix over the phone. The first time he plans on seeing his son is during Christmas. When speaking to TMZ, Bam admitted to spending over $5,000 on Christmas gifts for his son. He’s just waiting for the day when he can deliver them.

Bam Says a Few People Have Helped Him Stay Sober

He also revealed that he hadn’t been able to be in the presence of his son for over 200 days. Reaching 100 days sober hasn’t been easy for Bam, but he gives credit to a few different people. The first is his new girlfriend, Dannii. Besides her emotional support, she’s also kept him on the straight and narrow by having him work out with her. The two use a gym with a special connection to Mark Wahlberg. The owner of the gym, Jarred Taylor, once worked with Mark on the film Lone Survivor.

Bam used to see Mark at award shows and other red carpet events. Hearing that Mark was also staying sober for health reasons, Bam reached out to offer some support. Mark returned a video message congratulating Bam on his milestone and encouraging him to stick with it. The support meant much to Bam to the point where he credits Mark as a driving force behind his recovery. Mark also suggested that the two men meet and catch up in Las Vegas. Bam told TMZ that he’d definitely take up Mark on his offer.

Bam Has Also Started Skating Again

Besides hitting the gym, Bam also credits his recovery to returning to skating. As a famous skateboarder, Bam often hung around Tony Hawk and other athletes. He even got his own show, Viva La Bam, which focused on pranks and dangerous challenges.

However, for a while, his problems conflicted with his ability to skate. He also suffered from bone spurs, which made it painful to skate like he used to. Having healed up, Bam has started to skate again. Taking part in an activity that brings him joy has helped him focus on the sober path before him.

The third force he gives credit to is his clothing company. Bam has a clothing brand that focuses on t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel. He makes the artwork himself. By focusing on his art for the clothing, Bam has kept himself occupied and focused.

Between the support from fellow celebrities, his girlfriend, and now being able to see his son, Bam has come a long way from his past troubles.

Monica Speaks Out On Breakup With C-Murder

December 6, 2023

Monica has just spoken out about her relationship with C-Murder. Monica rarely ever talks about him publicly, but now she posted a comment on Instagram that shines some light on where exactly their relationship stands now.

Monica has recently responded to a question about her relationship with the rapper. This happened under an Instagram post from a news account called TheShadeRoom.

The post was about Monica’s appearance at Nelly’s Black and White Ball. She posed on the red carpet along with Nelly and Ashanti. She was also joined by her new boyfriend, Anthony Wilson.

Monica hasn’t exactly announced the start of their relationship, but they appeared to be a couple from another Instagram post that Anthony actually posted on Monica’s birthday back in October.

It was a picture of them posing together and Anthony wrote “Happy Birthday babe” on it. Monica herself reposted the picture and added an affectionate comment of her own. She said that Anthony treats her like every day is her birthday and called him her love.

Monica Said Things Were Over Between Her and C-Murder

All these Instagram posts have made it clear that the two are in a relationship. But since then, people on Instagram have been wondering what happened with Monica’s relationship with her ex C-Murder. The same questions came up when she attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball with Anthony.

This time, Monica actually responded to one of the comments. She didn’t explain what exactly happened with that relationship, but made it clear that things were over between her and C-Murder.

She pointed out that she hasn’t actually mentioned him in a couple of years, and she was hoping that people would just take the hint and follow her lead on it. She then left another comment with more context. She said that in short, she got her heart broken, again. But she also said that that was okay. Apparently, she’s over it now and learned a valuable lesson from it. She added that these days, she can look back and laugh about it.

What Happened With Monica and C-Murder?

Monica and C-Murder were in a relationship starting back in the 90s. Things got complicated after he was arrested and charged with taking someone’s life.

That was in 2002 and the case and trial spanned over several years. Eventually, he was convicted and sentenced to life behind bars.

He started his sentence in 2009 and has been in prison ever since. Throughout the years, he’s been trying to get the case reopened and repeat the trial.

Despite the fact that he was convicted, C-Murder has never actually plead guilty to the crime. He maintains that he’s innocent and his legal representatives are fighting for his freedom.

Monica actually mentioned this in her comment, too. She said she’s glad that C-Murder has the representation he needs to one day be free. Her closing message to everyone who might be invested in this story? “Let’s move forward.”

Ryan Edwards Arrested for Violating Probation

December 6, 2023

The U.S. Sun has obtained exclusive footage of Ryan Edwards appearing in Hamilton County General Sessions Court.

Ryan was supposed to be in court for a check-in hearing on December 5th. Instead, Ryan was arrested for violating his probation.

The judge presiding over Ryan’s case is Judge Starnes. He told Ryan, “My patience is gone…”

The Judge Had Stern Comments for Ryan

In the video, Judge Starnes tells Ryan that “he was told he was going into custody” and added, “you’ve had chance after chance after chance.”

Ryan has allegedly not followed the terms of his probation. He also reportedly had to undergo a test to determine if he’s misused any substance, the results of which will be available this Friday.

Ryan was recently charged with being in possession of a controlled substance. He also pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. His case was dismissed in a plea deal reached with the court on November 6th.

Judge Starnes was also presiding over Ryan’s court case that day. He said that he was “hesitant” to approve the plea deal.

Then, on November 25th, The U.S. Sun obtained another video exclusive of Ryan. The footage shows Ryan under the influence and getting removed from a bar in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

During the check-in hearing on December 5th, a source from The Sun overheard a conversation between Judge Starnes and Coty Wamp, the District Attorney for Hamilton County.

This alleged conversation between the DA and the judge happened just before Ryan was called up to the stand to testify on his behalf. DA Coty allegedly said to Judge Starnes, “I would be interested to see if he could pass a drug screening.”

The District Attorney told Judge Starnes that the last time Ryan was screened for substances was on November 8th.

This screening test allegedly took place at the same time that Ryan was released from Oasis, which is a halfway house in the Hamilton County area.

Ryan Has Struggles with Substance Abuse Issues

Then DA Coty, spoke to the court again and said that “it raises concern he could fail a drug screening.”

DA Coty alleged that Ryan is not currently an outpatient in any treatment facility. The district attorney also said that Ryan is not participating in any support group.

“Can we drug test him in court today, judge?” asked DA Coty. Judge Starnes agreed to the DA’s request. It took an hour to complete the test on Ryan with medical officials. He was then called to the stand. DA Coty proceeded to review other allegations against Ryan in court.

According to the district attorney, Ryan has been late in receiving a Vivitrol shot.

This injection is used to help people with substance issues, and Ryan was allegedly scheduled to receive his Vivitrol shot on November 17th. But, as the district attorney alleged in court, Ryan had not received the shot when it was scheduled.

“We know what happens when you go longer than a month,” said DA Coty.

The district attorney also added that Ryan’s behavior at the bar on November 25th “would correspond” with a person who had not taken their Vivitrol shot: “The state would ask that he be taken into custody if he does not pass.”

Judge Starnes disagreed and ruled that Ryan was going into custody right away. He said in court that Ryan was told to do something that could help him, and he failed to do it. Judge Starnes had Ryan arrested and taken away.

Kimora Lee Simmons and Kids Escape House Fire

December 5, 2023

Photo Credit: Kimora Lee Simmons/Instagram

Kimora Lee Simmons shared the terrifying news that her house caught fire last Saturday. The mom of five stated in an Instagram post that she and her kids were all fine following the incident. She went on to express her gratitude to the fire department for their speedy intervention.

The 48 year old entrepreneur shared her news online with a post that included images of the damage caused to her home by the blaze and also included pictures of the first responders.

Kimora thanked the fire department, and said that they quite possibly saved the lives of her and her kids.

Kimora Posts Pictures of the Aftermath of the Fire

One of the pictures showed the Los Angeles Fire Department standing in front of a smoke-filled fireplace in her house.

In the caption she wrote that she “cannot express the deepest gratitude to the numerous battalions, ladders and units that attended to her family for many hours.”

The news soon spread online, and PEOPLE reached out to both Kimora and the fire department for comment.

However, neither immediately responded.

The pictures shared by Kimora also showed that the carpets had been rolled back and debris covered the area around the fireplace.

Several of the model mom’s other photos posted showed firefighters in action as they worked on the fire in the smoky room. Fortunately, no one, including Kimora’s five children, were injured in the ordeal. So far, the cause of the fire has not been reported.

Kimora had her eldest two kids with her first husband, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons — they are now both all grown up. Her youngest son, Gary, who Kimora adopted in 2020, is only 10 years old.

Kimora Recently Opened Up About Being a Single Mom

The fire at Kimora’s house came shortly after she spoke to PEOPLE about life as a single mom.

She told the outlet that she thought about her kids all the time, and with her kids and her friends, she felt like she was the luckiest.

She added that she felt like her work every day was to keep her kids’ smiles on their faces. However, she also talked about how hard it could sometimes be to be a single mom. She went on to acknowledge that Mother’s Day made her want to cry, because she knew what it meant to raise her kids and get up every day and only care about them.

For Kimora, part of that has been teaching her children to become entrepreneurs like her. She has helped her two daughters bring their makeup brands into stores. Kimora explained that brands were more important now than ever before, because they allow everyone, including her and her kids, to continue to be part of cultural and beauty conversations.

However, in her interview with PEOPLE, she also said that for moms, it doesn’t matter if you are rich and famous or not, because what is more important is being a mom, a cousin, an auntie, or a caregiver.

Ashanti And Nelly Announce Pregnancy

December 4, 2023

Ashanti and her boyfriend, Nelly, are expecting their first baby together, according to US Weekly.

Pregnancy rumors swirled after the pair were seen at the Black and White Ball, which Nelly was hosting, on Sunday, December 3, 2023. The Black and White Ball was in St. Louis and benefited charities like the Make-a-Wish Foundation and offered scholarships to Harris Stowe University.

During the event, Ashanti and Nelly took to the stage. While Nelly gave a speech, Ashanti placed her hand on her stomach. Nelly also placed his hand on her stomach and kept looking at it, suggesting that she was pregnant or that they were working on expanding their family.

But it wasn’t until the next day that the rumors were confirmed by Ashanti and Nelly. They also laughed and seemed close throughout the event. The baby will be Ashanti’s first child. Nelly, on the other hand, is already a father of two kids. His first child is Chanelle, a daughter he shares with his ex, Channetta Valentine. He and his ex also had a second child, a son named Cornell Haynes III, before breaking up. Both of his children are in their mid-20s.

Ashanti and Nelly Rekindled Their Romance

Fans have wondered if Ashanti and Nelly would be trying for a family soon despite their on-and-off relationship over the years. The couple first met at a Grammy Awards press event in 2003. They dated until 2013 before eventually parting ways.

Ashanti claimed that they broke up because of insecurities and trust issues. In an interview with PEOPLE, she said that feeling insecure can make you act out of character. Neither of them expected to get back together. However, a decade after they broke up, they were spotted together in Las Vegas.

The two had attended the same boxing match and were holding hands. Nelly would later confirm that they had rekindled their romance on an episode of “Boss Moves with Rasheeda.” After being asked about his relationship status with Ashanti, Nelly said they were cool.

He also clarified by saying that neither of them expected to be back together. They hadn’t planned on rekindling their romance, but it just sort of happened. This was a feeling that Ashanti shared. After spending 10 years apart from each other, she didn’t expect to be with him again…

Aware of their past history, the couple started off by taking things slowly. Fans could see the love blossoming between the two, however, when they shared birthday wishes on Instagram. Nelly posted a series of photos he had taken with Ashanti on her birthday and gave her a tribute.

Ashanti made a romantic gesture, too, when she bought Nelly a new car. The car in question was Nelly’s dream car that he’d wanted since he was a child. It held a lot of sentimental value to him.

Nelly Recently Alluded to Starting a Family With Ashanti

After this moment, fans also started to speculate that the two might be trying to expand their family. One of his fans told Nelly to give Ashanti a baby on an Instagram post. Nelly replied, saying that he was working on it.

And now, just four weeks later, it’s been confirmed that she is, in fact, pregnant.

Kelly Clarkson’s Ex-Husband Ordered to Pay Back $2.6M

December 4, 2023

Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband has been ordered to pay her 2.6 million dollars.

The news came out on Thursday, November 30th after a California Labor Commissioner ruled that Brandon Blackstock overstepped by booking gigs for Kelly while they were still married.

According to TMZ, these deals included her coaching gig on The Voice, which he made 1.98 million dollars for booking for Kelly, partnerships with Norwegian Cruise Line and Wayfair, and her hosting gig for the Billboard Music Awards, which he made only 93 dollars and 30 cents for.

All four of these jobs together earned Brandon 2.6 million dollars, and he’s now being ordered to pay the money back to Kelly. According to the labor commissioner, only agents are allowed to legally book gigs for talent — not managers.

But these weren’t the only jobs that Brandon booked for Kelly. He also helped book her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. It has not been revealed how much money he earned from booking that.

But the judge ruled in Brandon’s favor for that gig, and he was not required to pay the money back to Kelly. Still, Brandon has already made a statement that he plans to appeal the ruling.

Brandon and Kelly Had A Contentious Divorce

Brandon and Kelly had one of the most contentious celebrity divorces in recent years. She was ordered to pay him 1.3 million dollars and 45,000 dollars per month in child support — even though she has primary custody of the kids and he only gets them for one weekend per month.

She was also ordered to pay him 115,000 dollars per month in spousal support, but that is set to end in just a couple of months in January of 2024.

Kelly famously got their Montana ranch in the divorce, although Brandon fought to keep it. Brandon tried to argue that the home was marital property, but the judge ruled that it fell within their prenup, because the title to the house was solely in Kelly’s name.

The Math Behind the Divorce Settlement

Although Kelly’s divorce took two years to be finalized, it’s actually widely-believed that she got more favorable terms than expected thanks to her prenup. According to TMZ, Kelly earns about 20 million dollars per year, meaning that the 1.3 million dollars that she was required to pay him and the approximately 2.7 million dollars in spousal support is a very small amount compared to what she’s earning on a yearly basis.

Now, almost two years after the divorce was finalized, her ex is being ordered to pay her 2.6 million dollars back, which means that he’s now getting even less than he originally did in the divorce settlement. He reportedly does plan to appeal the ruling.
