Kelly Clarkson’s mad she was ‘treated like everyone else,’ made Brooklyn toy shop target of sick threats: furious owner

On Saturday, Kelly Clarkson visited Art of Play, a Brooklyn-based store known for its unique items including toys, games, and puzzles. She accused an employee of treating her as though she couldn't afford the merchandise, specifically mentioning that she was offered something comparable instead of being shown items within her price range. Clarkson compared this experience to a scene from "Pretty Woman," where Julia Roberts' character is dismissed by a boutique saleswoman.

The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with many criticizing Art of Play for its alleged poor treatment of customers. In response, the store posted on Instagram that Kelly had inquired about buying an item called "Molly," a one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird automaton not for sale. They claimed they offered to show her another similar but more affordable item.

Clarkson disputed this explanation, stating she was shown a price tag indicating Molly could be purchased for $15,000. She accused the store of being both rude and dishonest. The feud continued as Art of Play further explained that while Molly isn't for sale, there's an identical automaton available from another artist for purchase at $15,000.
