Kelly Clarkson Claims Ex Brandon Blackstock Felt She Wasn't 'Sexy' Enough For 'The Voice'
HuffPost
"A wife doesn’t forget a time she gets told she’s not a sex symbol," Clarkson is quoted as saying in court documents.
Kelly Clarkson successfully served as a coach on “The Voice” for nine seasons, but one person who allegedly doubted her qualifications was her then-husband, Brandon Blackstock.
In court documents obtained by the New York Post and publicized Tuesday, Clarkson claims that Blackstock once told her she wasn’t “sexy” enough to join the NBC talent competition series.
Blackstock ― who, for years, acted as Clarkson’s manager ― also allegedly told her that her public persona was “too similar” to that of another “Voice” coach, country musician Blake Shelton, and that NBC executives were “looking for a more sex symbol type” like the singer Rihanna.
The Post also reports that, when asked about the discussion in court, Clarkson told her lawyer Ed McPherson: “Well, a wife doesn’t forget a time she gets told she’s not a sex symbol, so that stays.”
Clarkson went on to join “The Voice” for Season 14 in 2018 and continued with the show through its 21st season in 2021. She returned for Season 23, which wrapped in May of last year.
