Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
In a statement posted to Instagram on Sunday, Art of Play said Clarkson asked about purchasing Molly, a “one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird automaton.” The mechanical bird was not for sale, the store stated, because it “plays an important role in the magic shows we host here.”
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
"Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me," Clarkson wrote.
“We’re going to keep our heads down and hopefully we can clear things up with Kelly someday,” they concluded.
“Imagine our surprise when our small local business was suddenly attacked by 8 million people who have never visited our store,” it added.
In a follow-up post on social media, Clarkson said the store had told her the bird cost $15,000 and that they could find her something else "comparable".
