"During the 5 minutes he spent in the store, he inquired about our flying mechanical doll named Molly. We explained that while Molly is permanently attached to the wall and effectively acts as a mascot for our shop, an almost identical pen belongs to the creator of the machines.

We also offered to show him a different singing bird automaton, made by a traditional watchmaking shop in Germany, that he could take home with him that day. Its price is about 2000 dollars. He didn't stick around long enough to see it. We reached out to Kelly directly to clear the air. We truly wish him the best and hope that one day we can all laugh at this misunderstanding."

It started on Saturday, when Clarkson posted, "Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store, thought it looked really cool and had a few things in it. Mind shopping and literally can't seem to afford it and was told she could find me something comparable. Wow dude you are an idiot and you have lost a huge sale. But if you enjoy acting like Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman, you should see Acting in Brooklyn. Be sure to see 👎"

Brooklyn-based Art of Play sells home goods, puzzles, games, toys and books and also has a 26-seat theater that hosts magician shows, according to its website. On Sunday, Art of Play hit back on social media, denying Clarkson's version of events.

"Yesterday, Kelly Clarkson visited us in Brooklyn and inquired about purchasing Molly, an amazing singing and dancing flying automaton that plays an important role in the magic shows we host here," the post read. Molly is permanently attached to the wall and is not for sale. Still, the negative experience Kelly described on Twitter will resonate with anyone who has ever felt judged in a shop.

"At Art of Play, whether you come in to shop or just look around, we welcome everyone who walks in the door with an invitation to 'pick up and play.'" And many stay for hours, enjoying our puzzles, games and toys.

Imagine our surprise when our small local business was suddenly invaded by 8 million people who had never visited our store. It was a surreal experience to be the focus of such widespread outrage after being mentioned by a celebrity.

"Thanks to all our friends for their support and welcome to all the curious people who discovered us in the midst of this drama. We keep our heads down and hope that one day we can clear things up with Kelly. As a popular singer once said "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Of course, the last lyric is from the chorus of Clarkson's 2011 hit "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."

However, Clarkson followed up with a response on Sunday accusing Art of Play of not sharing an accurate version of what went down.

"Cool, cool. Definitely not for sale," she wrote. "This is the narrative that the art of playing goes with. So the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale while pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall titled Songbird didn't happen because you looked up at me in the elevator and said in a condescending tone, “Yeah, it's for sale, but if it's something like $15 for me, I can find it. can That the whole thing never happened and is now not for sale. ok cool so you are not only rude but also a liar. I understand

"And by the way, I openly support small businesses because I was literally in a small business trying to buy things. I love small businesses and I know they're important and I always support them, but you don't get a freebie. Just because you're a small business, treat people less than your store. It's not that hard to be kind. I never criticize people, but you my friend were an exception. Your store is really great. Unfortunately, you You are not."

In her response, Clarkson reposted an image showing a $15,000 price tag next to the item in question, with someone captioning it: “Molly is not for sale yet, has a $15,000 price tag. Kelly Clarkson You will always be a real person.
