Kelly Clarkson’s Shocking Return to Work

Kelly Clarkson has been missing in action.

Over the past week, there’s been a buzz about the absence of the singer-turned-talk-show host from ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, as she was absent for all ten episodes.

Eventually, on Thursday just gone, she came back after a break lasting several weeks. However, according to the Daily Mail’s findings, the return did not seem to reduce the tension brewing backstage.

As a devoted fan, I haven’t received any clear explanation yet regarding why Clarkson is absent from her daytime NBC show, with only whispers about ‘personal matters’ being circulated.

Recently, it’s been reported that there’s a noticeable shift in the 42-year-old’s behavior upon her return. Unlike before when she frequently engaged in casual conversations with staff off-camera about their personal lives and families, shared laughter, and even apologized for being a distraction, things have taken a different turn now, according to insiders.

According to an employee who’s been working on the show for over a year, she was previously very approachable.

The staff member explained, “She often stood at your workstation for a chat. She’d inquire about your personal life. Notably, she remembers the names of everyone’s spouses and children and would personally ask about them.

She would often engage in lengthy conversations, only to suddenly express regret for distracting you from your tasks. However, I’ve always responded, “You’re in charge, there’s no need for apologies,” and she would usually chuckle.

Ever since Clarkson came back, it seems like a team of handlers has been shielding her from the staff, ensuring she steers clear of questions regarding her time off that might make her feel uneasy.

The employee commented, ‘Things are quite strange right now, and nobody seems to understand the situation.’ It’s incredibly disquieting, as uncertainty is what truly makes it challenging for everyone.

‘When you don’t know what’s going on, you just assume the worst. That’s human nature.’ 

As a conscientious observer within the bustling work environment, I can attest to the palpable apprehension among my colleagues, numbering well over a hundred strong. However, we are frequently reminded and assured by management that our employment status remains secure, alleviating any fears of receiving pink slips.

The second employee expresses, “We’re treading carefully; there aren’t many solutions yet.” However, they have been told that their jobs are secure and she will return full-time soon. This situation is a personal matter which is being resolved, and normalcy should resume shortly. They were informed that the show will carry on smoothly and everything will be alright for us all.

Last Thursday, Clarkson sparked concern with a cryptic comment during the show’s 1,000th episode.

During the celebrations of that milestone, she admitted she’s ‘lost, alone, a lot.’

In order to commemorate this significant occasion with everyone present, she expressed: “We’ve shared laughter and tears through captivating tales, sung harmoniously with some, danced in unison, celebrated victories, and faced defeats together – all by myself.

A trustworthy individual associated with the singer admitted that the past several years have been challenging for her, as she navigated a contentious divorce from her partner of nearly a decade, Brandon Blackstock, which became final in 2022.

According to a source close to Clarkson, when she began the program, her union with Brandon was on the verge of collapse.

She was devastated and isolated since her husband couldn’t celebrate her performance success alongside her, which left her feeling deeply sorrowful.

At work, she was never by herself, but once she punched out for the day, it was only her, a lone parent, in her home.

At the festivities, she dabbed her eyes as she observed a compilation of images featuring her daughter River, aged 10, and son Remington, aged 8 – the offspring she co-parents with Blackstock – being displayed across the program over the years.

‘River and Remy, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you both,’ she said.

They exhibit great courage and are quite outspoken. In many ways, they resemble the confident version of me that emerged in adulthood, rather than my timid childhood self who seldom spoke much.

‘You are what I’m liking today, my little ones, and every day I love them so much.’

According to unnamed sources, despite Clarkson not openly discussing her hardships, it appears she is making progress and improving.

According to a source, Kelly is eagerly anticipating an additional 1,000 performances following the achievement of this current landmark.

As she steps into this fresh phase of her career and life, she’s eagerly looking forward to savoring it even more. The past couple of years have been challenging on a personal level, but now, she seems to be making a positive turn in her journey.

Whatever happens, her staffers say that they’ve got her back. 

‘Personally, there’s a lot of concern,’ says one staffer. 

‘Kelly is really loved here. She’s always been upbeat. Always been very friendly.

Over the past month or so, it has become quite apparent that something has changed, and unfortunately, we are unsure as to what that might be. Of course, I am concerned about my job, but beyond that, I am worried about her well-being. All I desire is the best for her.

Daily Mail has contacted NBC and representatives for Clarkson for comment.
