Kelly Clarkson and Brooklyn Store Clash Over Shopping Dispute

On October 10, Kelly Clarkson visited Art of Play in Brooklyn, where she claims staff treated her condescendingly when she inquired about a mechanical singing bird named Molly. Clarkson accused an employee of making assumptions about her financial capability.

After the store claimed the bird was permanently attached to the wall and not for sale, Clarkson labeled the store a liar. In response, Art of Play stated that the bird's creator, Bliss Kolb, had a similar automaton available for sale in Seattle for $15,000.

The store also mentioned that staff offered Clarkson another singing bird priced at approximately $2,000, but she left before viewing it. Art of Play has reached out to Clarkson to resolve the misunderstanding, hoping it could eventually be laughed about.

Clarkson disputed the store's account, asserting she had pointed to a price tag indicating the bird was available for $15,000, with a cheaper option suggested.
