The Brief

  • Clarkson accused the store of lying about an item's availability.
  • The store claimed the item was permanently attached to the wall.
  • Clarkson shared a photo showing the item with a price tag.

Kelly Clarkson has escalated her dispute with a Brooklyn store, accusing it of lying about the availability of a $15,000 item.

The singer initially criticized the store, Art of Play, for what she described as a condescending interaction, comparing the experience to the 1990 film 'Pretty Woman.'

Art of Play responded by stating the item, a singing-and-dancing bird automaton, was permanently attached to the wall and not for sale.

Clarkson disputed the store's explanation, sharing a photo she claimed showed the item on display with a price tag and accusing the staff of being rude and dishonest.

She also rejected the idea that her criticism was unwarranted, noting she had been shopping at a small business when the incident occurred.

The store later attempted to soften its stance, acknowledging the negative experience and expressing that all visitors are equally welcome.
