Kelly Clarkson’s Store Dispute Escalates as Owner Reveals She Spent Just 5 Minutes Inside

The owner of Brooklyn curiosity shop Art of Play says Kelly Clarkson spent just five minutes in the store during the disputed encounter that sparked a public back-and-forth between the singer and the business. Now, the shop says it has contacted Clarkson directly in hopes of resolving what it describes as a misunderstanding. The disagreement began on October 10, when Clarkson shared her experience at the store on X. The 44-year-old singer said she had driven to Brooklyn to browse items she wanted to purchase, only to feel that staff assumed she could not afford what she was interested in buying. Clarkson compared the experience to Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman, writing that she was offered something comparable instead of being treated as a serious customer. She also criticized the staff member, saying the store had lost a major sale. Art of Play responded the following day, explaining that the disagreement centered on a mechanical singing bird named Molly. According to th #CelebrityNews #HollywoodNews #PopCulture
