Kelly Clarkson’s Interaction at Brooklyn Store Art of Play Revealed in Store’s Security Video

A recent escalation in the Kelly Clarkson - Brooklyn novelty store feud has been captured on security footage. The footage, released by investigative podcaster Pablo Torre, shows the singer's interaction at Art of Play. After entering the store and browsing items, Clarkson points to an animatronic bird named "Molly" and engages with an associate.

She then returns to the cashier and exits the store, appearing heated. A customer in the background appears to be shocked by the confrontation. Art of Play claims the bird was not for sale and is permanently attached to the wall, while the singer insists there was a $15,000 price tag on display. The store maintains that they offered to show Clarkson a similar automaton for $2,000 but she did not stay long enough to see it.

Despite the clarification, the shop's co-owner claims the incident has put his business at risk due to Clarkson's social media posts.
