Kelly Clarkson reportedly ousted long-time manager Jeff Kwatinetz demanded a $15 million advance. A request which Kelly quickly refused, resulting in a summer of bad blood between the pair.

Jeff reportedly set out to destroy Clarkson following her multimillion dollar rejection.

“He booked her into arenas that she couldn’t possibly have sold out, instead of 2,000 or 3,000 seat theaters,” a source claims. “He really blew it.”

“We have a long term deal with her,” says a snitch. “We’re in the Kelly Clarkson business for a long time. If she wants to come back and make a big hit record next time, we’re here.”
