Brooklyn Store Responds After Kelly Clarkson’s Shopping Complaint
- On Saturday, Grammy-winning singer Kelly Clarkson publicly criticized Art of Play, a Brooklyn novelty shop, on social media after claiming a sales associate treated her as if she could not afford the merchandise.
- Comparing the encounter to a scene in the 1990 film Pretty Woman, Clarkson alleged the employee judged her appearance rather than assisting her with products she wanted to purchase.
- Art of Play responded on Sunday, clarifying that Clarkson inquired about purchasing Molly, a one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird automaton who plays an important role in the magic shows hosted there, which was not for sale.
- Nearly 8 million people targeted Art of Play online following Clarkson's post, causing the shop to experience widespread outrage and intense review bombing on Google.
- Hoping to resolve the tension, the business stated they are keeping their heads down and want to clear things up with Kelly someday, referencing her 2011 hit song.
