Kelly Clarkson Bans 2 Children From 2003 Film, Calling It Contractually Obligated

Q: Will Kelly Clarkson ever lift the ban on her kids watching her most hated project?

Probably not anytime soon. Clarkson’s own comments suggest the ban is more than a passing joke. At her final Las Vegas show, she again called *From Justin to Kelly* a “contractual obligation,” said she never wanted to make the movie, and bluntly described it as a bad project. She also explicitly said her children, River Rose and Remington, are “banned” from watching it. There is no indication from Clarkson that she plans to reverse that rule. In fact, her remarks went the other direction: she doubled down on her long-standing dislike of the film and framed the ban as part of that embarrassment. The only softening was that she said the music side was fun and that she has positive memories of working with producer Tommy Sims and respect for the actors involved. So the most evidence-based answer is that there is no sign she will lift the ban soon. If it ever changes, it would likely be much later, when her children are older and the film can be treated as a lighthearted piece of early-career history rather than something she wants them to see now. Based on what she said publicly, though, that would be speculation rather than a stated plan.

Kelly Clarkson told her Las Vegas concert audience Saturday that daughter River Rose, 12, and son Remington, 10, are banned from watching her 2003 movie “From Justin to Kelly.”
The 44-year-old said she made the film only because winning the first season of “American Idol” required it, joking she failed to read the fine print and did not want to act.
Clarkson bluntly called the musical comedy “s---,” even after a fan defended it, though she said recording the music was still fun.
The film, co-starring season-one runner-up Justin Guarini, was released in 2003 shortly after Clarkson’s “American Idol” victory and remains a project she clearly does not want revisited at home.
