On October 11, Kelly Clarkson took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize her experience at Art of Play, a store in Brooklyn known for selling unique items like toys and games. She claimed she was treated as if she couldn't afford an item priced at $15,000 and compared the encounter to a scene from "Pretty Woman." Art of Play initially disputed Clarkson's account, but later deleted a supportive customer review that praised their service. The store then raised the price of the mechanical bird in question, Molly, from $15,000 to $15 million on October 14 due to increased interest. This conflict highlights issues of power dynamics and customer service expectations between celebrities and small businesses.
