@crom.movie: Kelly Clarkson’s dispute with a Brooklyn gift shop has taken an unexpected turn. The store has raised the price of a viral mechanical singing bird from $15,000 to a staggering $15 million. The controversy began on October 10, when the 44-year-old singer claimed on X that she had been treated like Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman while shopping at Art of Play. Clarkson said she asked about buying Molly, a mechanical bird displayed in the store, and was told it cost $15,000. She later shared a photo showing a price tag beside the bird, accusing the store of being rude and dishonest after its explanation changed. But the store owner, Adam Rubin, told a different story. He explained that Molly was permanently attached to the wall and served as the shop’s mascot. According to Rubin, the artist who created the machines owned a nearly identical bird and was willing to sell that one for $15,000. Then the dispute escalated. Rubin told USA Today on October 13 that the store had increased the price because of popular demand. The new asking price? An astonishing $15 million. The owner also claimed the controversy had put staff and neighbors at risk. He said online trolls had har\*ssed employees, people had confronted them outside the shop, and police had become involved after neighbors were filmed and doxxed. What began as a disagreement over a singing bird has turned into a major public feud, with both sides offering very different accounts of what happened. Sometimes, a $15,000 shopping dispute can become a $15 million headline. \#KellyClarkson #CelebrityNews #ViralDrama #EntertainmentNews #popculture
