@people: #KellyClarkson spoke out about her experience while shopping at Brooklyn’s Art of Play and said she felt judged by employees, in a post on X on Oct. 10. New footage of the encounter between Clarkson and the store owner was obtained by independent journalist Pablo Torre on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Read the full story in our bio link.
This shows she had already picked up a couple items she wanted to buy, inquired about the bird, was presumably treated rudely, then returned the items she had initially wanted to buy back to where she found them, let the other employee know she didn’t like the way she was spoken to and left the store. #TeamKelly 💛💛

She even put back these things also wanted to buy back to their spots. That's not someone who caused a fuss. Anyone who has worked in retail would know THAT NEVER happens with an irate customer or even a normal one.

So the store owner released the video and of course no sound. How many people think they had no idea who the customer was and indeed based their entire interaction on her appearance?

oh yea that one does have a price tag but you have to order from the artist the one we keep in house isn't for sale. I would be more than happy to get the artist contact information for you if you would like.
if they said this instead of what they said they wouldn't be getting blasted.

The owner in his interview has bad energy. Looks like the other staff do too

MADMikey :
The owner playing the cancer card, blaming her, and then upping the price is telling of his narcissistic personality.

She said she felt treated the way Julia Roberts was in Pretty Woman, though she was treated more like Adam Sandler's daughter.

just by her facial expression and her reaction you can tell it matches her story.

oof if an employee at a store approached me with that body language and demeanour I’d pop off too. 😩😩😩 With his lil coffee in his hand and legs crossed? Yeah no.

The store associate could have easily said, “hey this one is made for the store but we can get you in touch with the artist and see if we can get another custom one for you.”

They cut 45 seconds of the tape presumably when she’s pointing at the price tag
