Kelly Clarkson's mad she was 'treated like everyone else,' made Brooklyn toy shop target of sick threats: furious owner
Key Points:
- Kelly Clarkson’s confrontation at the Art of Play toy shop over a $15,000 mechanical bird led to thousands of threats against the store, according to co-owner Adam Rubin.
- Rubin stated that Clarkson was upset because she was treated like any other customer, without special treatment, which is standard for all visitors, including celebrities.
- The dispute began when Clarkson claimed an employee insulted her by implying she couldn’t afford the robotic bird, which the store clarified is permanently attached and not for sale.
- Following the incident, Clarkson and her fans demanded an apology, resulting in intense online backlash including doxxing and review-bombing directed at the store and its associates.
- Rubin expressed frustration over the situation, highlighting the disproportionate response fueled by Clarkson’s large fanbase and noting the bird, "Molly," is valued at $15 million, not $15,000.
