#BrianMcKnight isn’t holding back after scoring a major legal win against his ex-wife, #JulieMcKnight. The R&B veteran took to social media this week to announce he’d been awarded an $8.8 million judgment in a defamation case, closing one chapter in his long-running family feud.⁠
⁠
In a video posted online, McKnight appeared cheerful and confident, puffing on a cigar while reflecting on the court’s decision.⁠
⁠
“It’s been a long journey getting to this day: October 16th, 2025,” he said. “But we are here in the English countryside about an hour and a half outside of London. And the verdict is in.”⁠
⁠
The singer continued, “Trying to ruin my name and trying to bring harm to my family in a book filled with lies equals $8.8 million dollars. And this is just the beginning.” McKnight warned that anyone else who helped spread false claims would soon be hearing from his lawyers.⁠
⁠
To drive his point home, McKnight played what he claimed was an old voicemail from Julie about their late son, Niko. The clip ended with the star dancing in celebration.⁠
⁠
Julie has not yet responded to his claims.⁠
