Kelly Clarkson has spoken out about an uncomfortable shopping experience at a Brooklyn store, comparing the encounter to a memorable scene from the movie Pretty Woman.<\/p>\n
In an October 10 social media post, the singer and television host described visiting Art of Play, a specialty store in Brooklyn, New York. Clarkson said she intended to purchase several items but felt dismissed by a male employee who suggested looking for something comparable instead.<\/p>\n
The interaction reminded Clarkson of the 1990 film Pretty Woman, in which Julia Roberts\u2019 character receives dismissive treatment while shopping at an upscale boutique.<\/p>\n
Clarkson expressed frustration with the experience, saying the store had missed out on a substantial sale because of the employee\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n
The business offered a different explanation, stating that the item Clarkson wanted was part of a permanent display and was not available for purchase.<\/p>\n
Clarkson disputed that account and maintained that the interaction had been disrespectful.<\/p>\n
The public exchange drew attention online, with the singer and the store presenting different accounts of what happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kelly Clarkson has spoken out about an uncomfortable shopping experience at a Brooklyn store, comparing the encounter to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-371706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
