Pablo Torre Reveals Art of Play Security Camera Footage, and It Doesn’t Look Great for Kelly Clarkson

Clarkson fans are going to want to look away from a moment like this.

Security camera footage of Kelly Clarkson's visit to the Brooklyn novelty shop Art of Play, where she claimed she was treated poorly, has been made public. On Tuesday, podcaster Pablo Torre posted the video on social media, showing Clarkson's evening at the store on Saturday. Clarkson, dressed in casual attire, was seen browsing the shop with her children.

The singer approached an automaton bird named Molly, but the footage only captures her talking with an employee after her initial encounter with the bird. Clarkson's interaction with the employee was not documented in the video, but she appears to be upset during her visit. The incident occurred after Clarkson accused a store employee of treating her as if she couldn't afford to shop there, leading to a public dispute between Clarkson and the store's owner, Adam Rubin.

Rubin accused Clarkson of endangering his employees, while Clarkson defended herself, stating that she supports small businesses but was unhappy with the treatment she received. The video, posted by Torre, marks the latest development in Clarkson's ongoing conflict with Art of Play.
