Kelly Clarkson Escalates Brooklyn Store Dispute, Accusing Art of Play of Lying About $15,000 Automaton
Kelly Clarkson publicly accused Brooklyn novelty shop Art of Play of profiling her and offering a condescending 'Pretty Woman' style dismissal. After the store claimed the item in question was not for sale, Clarkson responded by calling the staff a 'liar' and 'rude,' asserting that a price tag was visible and that she was offered a cheaper alternative. The dispute has intensified online, with Clarkson defending her right to criticize the business despite its small-business status.
