The host of the talk show described it as the “greatest decision ever” and said that she “wouldn’t have made it” without the aid of Lexapro.
For the first time, Kelly Clarkson admitted to taking anti-depressants to get through her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
The Kelly Clarkson Show host, 41, recalled having trouble holding back her tears during a therapy session.
“I couldn’t stop crying as I stared at my therapist and said, “I had to cancel some of the other days because I couldn’t stop crying. ’.
I cannot do this, Clarkson said in the episode of Las Culturistas that aired on Wednesday on iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network. And it was one of those times where I had to really swallow my ego and put my childhood struggles behind me. ”.
Clarkson said, “I was on Lexapro for, I think, two months,” to Rogers, 33, and Yang, 32. “My problem was that I was unable to smile for America right now. I require help because I’m unhappy. And, if God is to be believed, that was the wisest decision ever made. I wouldn’t have achieved anything without it. ”.
2013 saw the marriage of Blackstock, 46, and Clarkson. The “Breakaway” singer filed for divorce in 2020, and it was formally finalized in March 2022. The couple has two children, River Rose, 9, and Remington “Remy” Alexander, 7. They were the primary inspiration for her most recent album, Chemistry.
According to Clarkson, who recently appeared on a podcast, her children primarily listen to her music so they can swear.
According to Clarkson, podcast host Mike Adam of Audacy Check-In said, “I don’t listen to my stuff around my kids.”. So even with my other music, I assume they were sharing it with someone else because when my daughter asked to hear “Whole Lotta Woman,” I was perplexed as to how she was familiar with the song. ”.
She really wanted to say “a-,” though. Can I sing “a-?” she enquired. “Only with me,” I answered. You can’t do this anywhere else, I was saying, said Clarkson. As a result, they don’t jam to me; instead, we frequently listen to Harry Styles and Aurora.
Prior to Chemistry’s release, Clarkson spoke about the “little text exchange” she had with Blackstock about the album during an appearance on TODAY.
She recalled thinking, “Hey, I didn’t just diminish us down to one thing,” but she couldn’t recall how or why it had happened. “Do you get what I’m saying? The ride includes everything. In addition, there is beauty. Right now, everyone is in pain, but pain is universal. ”.
“It’s incredibly private. I believe that everyone is aware of my general reputation as that kind of writer because I have always released personal songs. I think having kids — and you both have kids — makes you kind of wonder, ‘What am I going to do here?’ so I was very picky about the songs I picked for the album. ”.
