Page Six • • general
Key Points:
- The Brooklyn store Art of Play is trying to contact Kelly Clarkson following a public dispute over a $15,000 mechanical bird named "Molly," but has not yet received a response from the singer.
- The store has received strong local support and increased foot traffic since the controversy, with many visitors coming to take selfies with the bird.
- Clarkson accused the store staff of treating her condescendingly and lying about the bird being for sale, while the store owners insist the bird is permanently mounted and not for sale, offering a less expensive alternative instead.
- Store co-owner Adam Rubin denied Clarkson's claims of mistreatment, emphasizing that no dramatic incident occurred and criticizing Clarkson for using her celebrity status to attack a small business.
- Security footage shows Clarkson browsing the shop briefly before apparently confronting staff and leaving, and despite the feud, the store says she is welcome back anytime.
