Kelly Clarkson RELISTS the Encino mansion she shared with ex Brandon Blackstock for $9M… which is $1M less than her asking price last year amid ongoing divorce and custody battle

• Clarkson, 38, initially tried to offload the property she shared with husband Brandon Blackstock in May of last year
• The listing occurred one month before she filed for divorce from her husband of seven years
• The real estate move comes as Clarkson and Blackstock are involved in a bitter legal feud – with Kelly accusing her ex of defrauding her of millions  

Kelly Clarkson is again attempting to shed certain properties during her bitter and ongoing divorce proceedings with estranged husband Brandon Blackstock.

The Miss Independent singer, 38, is again placing the final residence she shared with Blackstock in Encino, California on the market, relisting it for $9million — which is $1million dollars less than her original asking price was in May of last year.

Kelly and Brandon, 44, have been locked in a legal battle involving accusations of fraud, as well as custody of their two children River Rose, six, and Remington, four, since the American Idol winner filed for divorce last June.

Clarkson’s rustic Encino property covers almost 10,000 square feet, with the house contains eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.  

One of the home’s showpieces is the main suite, which features high-pitched beams, a fireplace, a private patio and a lounge area. 

Huge walk-in closets are another major perk.

Kelly first listed the Encino home in May 2020 for $10 million, one month before she filed for divorce from her talent manager husband after seven years of marriage. 

She initially bought the property in June 2018 for $8.5 million, after securing her judging gig on The Voice.

Earlier this week, Clarkson’s camp doubled down on claims Blackstock defrauded her of millions, saying they ‘stand by’ the accusations, according to a new statement from Clarkson’s team given to Entertainment Tonight.

Her legal team said they ‘look forward’ to challenging the Blackstock’s ‘boilerplate denials’ in front of the California Labor Commission in August.

The American Idol alum claimed her ex had performed ‘illegal services’ and padded her invoices with exorbitant charges in filings to the California Labor Commission last October.

Blackstock and his father Narvel’s lawyers say they are not subject to California’s Talent Agencies Act.

They also say a one-year statute of limitations on TAA violations would limit Kelly’s ability to get restitution for the commissions.

Kelly’s lawyer believes she is entitled to all of the money as well as other ‘things of value’ that Brandon was paid while acting as her agent.

Clarkson and Blackstock separated in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.

Kelly was awarded primary physical custody of their two children last November, which was awarded to her while they are embroiled in the divorce proceedings.  

The real estate news comes as Clarkson is also in the middle of trying to offload a home in Tennessee.

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner slashed the price of that property by more than half a million dollars, as reported by the New York Post.
