==Personal life==
Highly sexually active, Clarkson is known to be a huge womanizer with a supposed "outrageous sexual appetite". Friends close to him have simply stated that "he shags a lot". Clarkson stated in an interview that he has slept with over 500-plus women and also stated that he'll "definitely shag many more". Clarkson openly admitted that he is a commitment-phobe.
In late 2011 or early 2012 (?), Clarkson announced that he was expecting a baby with INTOXICATED member Charlee Brookes, after the two had a brief affair. Clarkson stated that though he wasn't ready for a relationship, he was excited to be a father.
Clarkson is heterosexual, a rarity in amongst the present-day climate of music industry where many male singers are bisexual or gay.

At the beginning of his career, circa 2009, Clarkson was known to be "a little bit spunky and bitchy" while also maintaing a "boy-next-door"-type of reputation and public image. He was usually known for witty comments and his sometimes sharp tongue just in case he got into a verbal confrontation with others.
By the time, Clarkson had released his second album, Filth, he went from being a "bitchy boy-next-door" to a full-fledged playboy who had a penchant from sex and women. During this time, he had also considerably changed his look as well. Clarkson began widely known as a womanizer and to have had a supposedly outrageous sexual appetite and the music on Filth reflected that. Clarkson still retained his spunkiness and bitchiness but he (definitely) was no longer considered to be a "boy-next-door". Clarkson's transition into being the "bad boy playboy" surprised many but was quickly well-received by the public and critics themselves. Many credit Clarkson's transition into a more hypersexual image to have made him more of a superstar. His sex life is highly documented and reported in the press.
Clarkson is known for his feuds with other male singers such as James Moss, Taylor, and Kirby L. Avalon, though the later is known to not really get along with anyone as he is not really liked by anyone anyway. The only male Clarkson appears to be friends with is Chase Elite. Clarkson has also feuded with MIDNIGHT, who is widely a feminist and disapproves of Clarkson's playboy and womanizing image.
==Legacy==
In 2012, Clarkson's gay slut-pop counterpart and peer Lucas Brandt, recorded a song that was named after him and is a tribute to him. In the song, Brandt simply professes his love for Clarkson. When Brandt decided to release the song as a single, Clarkson himself agreed to be featured on the single mix of the song, which was a decisions that shocked the music industry and the press.
