Kelly Clarkson and Brooklyn toy store give conflicting accounts of $15,000 bird

Singer Kelly Clarkson said she had a bad experience at Art of Play, a toy store in Brooklyn, New York.

She said she asked about a $15,000 animatronic bird and was told the staff could find her something comparable instead.

Clarkson compared the treatment to a scene in the film “Pretty Woman,” in which a shop worker looks down on Julia Roberts’ character.

The store said the bird was attached to a wall and was not for sale, and said it welcomed visitors whether or not they planned to buy.

Clarkson disputed the store’s version, saying a price tag was displayed and that a staff member had told her the bird was for sale.

The public disagreement drew widespread attention online and put the small business at the center of a celebrity dispute.

The store said it planned to keep a low profile and hoped to clear things up with Clarkson one day.
