I hope Kelly Clarkson’s show does well when it takes over Ellen’s time slot in the fall. A judge in Los Angeles has ordered her to pay her ex-husband $200,000 a month in spousal and child support. Almost two and a half million a year because he was married to her for 7 years. Also, he wanted more than double that.
Breaking it down, it’ll be $45,601 a month for child support and $150,000 each month as spousal support.
Kelly has primary custody of the kids. So, I’m kind of confused as to why he gets child support to begin with.
Oh wait, here’s his reasoning. It’s a statement from his people that says he decided to leave his career as an entertainment manager and “made a very deliberate choice to change his life and become a rancher full-time” including sponsoring rodeos. I guess my response is annnnnnd, so what? I hope he does well, but how does that mean Kelly owes him millions of dollars?
One last thing. Kelly makes $1.5 million a month. But, still.
