🔮 The man at the cash register points towards Molly, but she eventually just leaves. Clarkson is then shown outside the store, quickly pulling out her phone. Torre noted that Clarkson’s casual clothing was very similar to other patrons in the store, suggesting that she was not discriminated against based on her attire. Torre also shared that he’s been to Art of Play before, and confirmed that “Molly” is only one of two in the world, and that the bird plays an integral part in the opening act of the magic shows that go on at the store. The feud ignited this weekend when Clarkson dragged Art of Play on social media, accusing an employee of treating her like Julia Roberts’ character in “Pretty Woman” after allegedly assuming she couldn’t afford the mechanical singing bird, which had a price tag of $15,000.

🔮 The “Christy” star received plenty of supportive comments from fans, who predicted the new ad will cause even more furor.
