Something about Brooklyn store feud ‘hurt Kelly Clarkson’s feelings,’ per source
A source claims that the dispute involving the Brooklyn store Art of Play hit a nerve with Kelly Clarkson. For the unversed, the “Breakaway” hitmaker posted on X on October 10, revealing that she had visited Art of Play to purchase a few things she had in mind.
However, she alleged that she was treated as though she couldn’t afford the items and was told to find something comparable.
Clarkson also wrote that she felt as though she was being treated like Julia Roberts’ character in the film “Pretty Woman.” The store responded to her claims, explaining that she had inquired about purchasing a bird named “Molly,” which was mounted on the wall but was not for sale. However, Clarkson disagreed with the store’s explanation and called them a “liar” in her Instagram Stories.
The incident quickly went viral. Speaking about the controversy, a source told Rob Shuter that Clarkson usually shrugs things off rather than taking everything too seriously. However, this time, something genuinely hurt her feelings. This made it difficult for her to let the matter go, the source added.
The source further explained, “She’s always been the lovable girl next door. Usually, she’s comfortable with that. Right now, not so much.” This is not the first time the singer-songwriter has spoken about feeling mistreated. She has previously described experiences of being treated poorly by celebrities when she was starting her career.
