Kelly Clarkson disputes treatment at Brooklyn toy store over expensive bird

Kelly Clarkson visited a toy shop in Brooklyn Heights last Saturday and later complained online that an employee treated her badly. Clarkson said she asked about a yellow mechanical bird called Molly, which had a $15,000 price tag. She felt the employee acted as if she could not afford it. She compared the experience to a famous scene in the film "Pretty Woman," where a shop assistant is rude to a wealthy customer. The store, Art of Play, told a different story. It said Molly was a display piece and was never for sale. The store also said it offered Clarkson a similar bird worth around $2,000. Her post has been viewed over 43 million times and has badly affected the store's online reviews.
