Kelly Clarkson took to social media this weekend after she claimed a trendy Brooklyn shop \u2014 not recognizing her \u2014\u00a0treated her poorly.<\/p>\n

Literally, poorly.<\/p>\n

Kelly, 44, wrote on X<\/a> Saturday, \u201cJust drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn\u2019t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowering the boom, she continued, \u201cWow, dude. You\u2019re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y\u2019all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in \u2018Pretty Woman.\u2019 For sure, check it out \ud83d\udc4e.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was referencing the iconic scene in \u201cPretty Woman\u201d in which the Julia Roberts character is treated badly by a Beverly Hills boutique employee who refuses to believe she could possibly afford their merchandise.<\/p>\n

Roberts\u2019 Vivian returns triumphantly later to inform the employee the mistake she\u2019d made was, \u201cBig. Huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many fans and friends chimed in to commiserate, including Miami club impresario Ingrid Casares, who revealed Madonna was once given the same shabby treatment by a club!<\/p>\n

Casares wrote, \u201cI was with Madonna in line to get into club in Miami. She didn\u2019t have her ID ( she was 34) she was dressed down. Doorman wouldn\u2019t let her in. While the fans(May I add it\u2019s a gay club? ) were yelling at him. He wouldn\u2019t listen,we never went back and he fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oops!<\/p>\n

The shop in question replied, in a way, via an Instagram Story<\/a> that included a customer raving about it as a place where she felt welcomed and respected.<\/p>\n

The whole incident with Kelly was reminiscent of that time in 2013<\/a> when Oprah Winfrey was told by a shop assistant in Zurich, Switzerland, that she could not afford an expensive bag she wanted to see.<\/p>\n

Oprah told her TV audience that the clerk told her bluntly she could not see the $38,000 bag. The shop denied that Oprah had been mistreated, chalking it up to a language barrier.<\/p>\n

Kelly has been living in NYC since 2023, and recently walked away from her successful \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show\u201d to be more free to spend time with her children River Rose, 11, and Remington Alexander, 10.<\/p>\n

The kids\u2019 dad Brandon Blackstock, Kelly\u2019s ex, died at 48 of cancer just over a year ago.<\/p>\n
