Kelly Clarkson\u2019s shopping trip to Brooklyn has turned into a very public brawl with a small business. <\/p>\n

The singer posted on X that staff at Art of Play, a trendy Brooklyn curiosity shop, sized her up when she asked about a $15,000 singing bird automaton. Clarkson says an employee looked at her like she couldn\u2019t afford it, much like the boutique snub Julia Roberts\u2019 character gets in Pretty Woman. The shopkeeper then offered to find her something comparable. She told him he \u201cjust lost a huge sale.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You\u2019re an idiot and just lost a\u2026<\/p>\n

Art of Play says the bird, named Molly, is permanently fixed to the wall and serves as the shop\u2019s mascot, PEOPLE reports<\/a>. The store says it pointed Clarkson to Molly\u2019s nearly identical twin, available from the artist for $15,000, plus a $2,000 German-made backup she could take home that day. It also claims she was in and out in about five minutes. <\/p>\n

Clarkson isn\u2019t buying it. She reposted a photo of a $15,000 price tag hanging next to the bird, called the store \u201crude\u201d and a \u201cliar,\u201d and added that being a small business doesn\u2019t give it \u201ca free pass to treat people less than.\u201d Art of Play says it has reached out to clear the air. Online, the verdict is split. One commenter slammed the singer for \u201cpublicly whining about a stupid $15k TOY bird.\u201d Others are defending her. \u201cSince u been gone the $15,000 price tag has also mysteriously disappeared,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
