Kelly Clarkson Confronts Brooklyn Store Over Alleged Poor Treatment

Kelly Clarkson accused a Brooklyn store, Art of Play, of treating her poorly during a visit. She claimed she was looked at as if she couldn’t afford items and was told to find something comparable.

Art of Play responded by stating that Clarkson inquired about a one-of-a-kind singing bird automaton named Molly, which is permanently attached to the wall and not for sale. They said they explained that a nearly identical automaton could be purchased for $15,000 and offered to show her a cheaper alternative.

Clarkson refuted the store’s claim, sharing a photo of a $15,000 price tag next to Molly and accusing the store of lying. She called them rude and a liar, while also expressing support for small businesses.

Art of Play later shared more details, explaining that Molly is not for sale and that a similar version could be purchased for $15,000. They claimed they offered a cheaper alternative but she did not stay to see it.

The store’s lack of apology has drawn further criticism online, with some accusing them of lying and others defending Clarkson’s right to speak out about her experience.

The situation has sparked a public feud, with fans of Clarkson supporting her and others criticizing the store for its response.
