Kelly Clarkson isn’t your ordinary pop star.
Wondering what exactly Clarkson has endured in her life?
Read on to learn tragic things about Kelly Clarkson that will make you sympathetic to her plight.
And doing just that is something Clarkson strives for in her personal life.
“It’s very close to home.”
In fact, as Clarkson tells it,she and her father have been estrangedfor some time.
“I’ve never really been in touch with him,” she revealed in an interview withSkavlanin 2017.
And while many people feel sad for Clarkson when they hear this, she’s honestly not too bothered.
Still, it’s a touch sad, even if Clarkson has made peace with it.
“He really is that kid that really wanted everybody to come together.”
“We lived, like, pre-paycheck to pre-paycheck,” she toldCBS News.
“I definitely had this whole mentality.
Well, she definitely accomplished that goal.
“It pays you to get out of eviction notices, so it’s pretty good!”
She does have a point!
“I went into it thinking it might pay my electric bill.”
“My apartment in LA burned down and I had to move home,” she continued.
“I had no money and I had to sleep in my car for three days.”
Who would have guessed that based on what a powerhouse performance she gave on the show!
“I was told I should shut up and sing.”
Fortunately, Clarkson ended up winning that battle, without having to do anything other than be herself.
“And then, this is the best part,” she continued.
Clearly, the joke was on Davis, as Clarkson had the songwriting skills to pay the bills.
However, on the flip side, it also comes with intense public scrutiny foreverythingthat you do.
“Everybody always had something to say musically, physically, what I was saying disappointed, whatever.”
“you could either love it, or you don’t have to,” she added.
“There’s plenty of other artists out there to love.”
We are here for this 100 percent!
“I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life.”
Unfortunately, because Clarkson was considered attractive, no one knew she was suffering.
Staying so thin had some pretty negative impacts on Clarkson’s body, too.
“I was at the gym all the time.”
To be clear, Clarkson wasn’t miserable because shehadto be skinny quite the opposite, in fact.
“It’s when I’m fat that I’m happy,” she toldRedbook.
“But no one actually cares about your health.
They just care about aesthetics.”
Louder again for the people in the back!
But of course, the tabloids couldn’t help but venture to chip away at Clarkson’s wedded bliss.
Specifically,The Dirtymanaged to find sources who said they’d been with Blackstock behind his wife’s back.
“We haven’t slept together but we’ve been intimate in other ways.”
“It amazes me how manipulative this guy can be,” she shared.
Unbothered, Clarkson shut down the rumor mill in atweet.
“Stop with all the lying hey.”
Naturally, the new parents were ecstatic about their bundle of joy.
Clarkson even had to be hospitalized at one point, as she was vomiting so much.
“I’d go through it all again,” she continued.
“I had the perfect baby.”
“That’s blasphemy.
We don’t even speak of it.”
Of course, the reason for Clarkson’s decision was that her previous pregnancies had beenincrediblydifficult for her.
Can you imaginebeing so sick 24/7, to the point where you have to be hospitalized?
That… doesn’t sound pleasant.
To each their own.
“We got robbed last night,” Clarkson toldExtra.
“We got here and our whole house was like bashed in, it was crazy.”
That sounds absolutely horrific!
Still, she felt violated by the whole thing, to be sure.
“Other than that little hiccup everything has been really great in our lives,” she added.
“I mean, it’s no secret,” she confessed in an interview withToday.
The reason for Clarkson’s specific woes?
Naturally, Clarkson was devastated about the split, but she reached out for support when she needed it.
“I’ve been talking to friends that have been through divorce,” she continued.
We’re so sorry to hear it, Kelly.
So when Clarkson filed for divorce in June of 2020, fans were understandably a bit shocked.
After all, the couple had just started a family a few years prior.
As for what caused trouble in paradise, legal documents obtained byUs Weeklyrevealed a bit more to the story.
She also claimed that Blackstock and the company had been “charging her outlandish fees.”
Clarkson’s lawsuit came after Starstruck Management Group, alleging that Clarkson owesthem$1.4 million, according toVariety.
Hang in there, Kelly.
