The owner of the Brooklyn store claims that Kelly Clarkson put us in danger because the price of the bird reaches 15 million dollars.

Adam Rubin claims Kelly Clarkson's viral feud over a mechanical singing bird has led to threats and lawsuits against his Brooklyn curiosity shop.

Kelly Clarkson should have contacted the store owner before posting, the expert says

Jay Aldbert says Clarkson's first step should have been to contact the store owner and try to resolve the issue privately. She says she can use her social media platform if the owner ignores her concerns or is rude.

Kelly Clarkson's public feud with a Brooklyn shop has the owner worried about more than just lost sales.

The bird at the center of the controversy now commands a staggering $15 million.

Rubin claimed that the backlash went beyond angry online comments, with people associated with the business reportedly facing threats and having their personal information exposed.

"We've had an incredible outpouring of support from our neighbors and fans over the last few days, and they've all been assaulted, threatened, abused," he said.

Rubin also accused Clarkson of an "abuse of power" and argued that the singer's massive platform had exacerbated the backlash against her small business.

Rubin argued that Clarkson's celebrity status carries a responsibility.

"You can't just try to squash someone like a bug and expect everyone to give you a pass," he said.

Rubin also questioned why strangers would go to such lengths to attack a small business on behalf of a celebrity, and expressed frustration that people who had never been to his store joined the backlash.

The mechanical bird that sparked the price difference has also undergone a significant change.

The sign describes Molly as "the world's most famous songbird automaton." And it listed the price as "$15,000,000".

The new figure is 1,000 times the original price of $15,000 at the center of Clarkson's complaint.

Art of Play previously explained in a public statement that the original figure of $15,000 refers to an almost identical pen owned by artist Bliss Kolb, while Molly herself is permanently attached to the wall and serves as a prop in the store's magic performances.

He described the new figure as a matter of "supply and demand", while the store has stressed that the bird is not for sale.

Rubin suggested that Molly's sudden notoriety made her one of the most recognizable mechanical birds in the world.

The new sign offers a stark contrast to the original $15,000 price tag Clarkson cited in her lawsuit.

The price change adds another twist to a controversy that began Saturday, when Clarkson visited the Brooklyn store and later accused an employee of treating her like she couldn't afford the merchandise.

Clarkson initially spoke out on social media, describing what she considered a humiliating shopping experience and comparing her behavior to Julia Roberts' character in the 1990 film Pretty Woman.

"Just drove all the way to Brooklyn and saw this store that I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally felt like I couldn't afford it and was told she could find me something comparable," Clarkson wrote.

"Wow dude. You're an idiot and you've lost a huge sale."

The singer later doubled down on her account after Art of Play challenged her version of events.

Clarkson stated that he noted a $15,000 price tag and was told the bird was available for purchase, but an employee suggested he find something comparable.

"So you're not only rude, you're a liar. Got it," Clarkson wrote in a follow-up post.

Art of Play believes that this encounter was a misunderstanding.

In its public response, the store explained that Molly is a fixture in the store and that employees have offered Clarkson the opportunity to purchase a similar bird from its creator.

The business also said another songbird pen is available for roughly $2,000.

For Rubin, however, the dispute has become much more personal than a disagreement over an unusual commodity.

“I'm not even supposed to be here today. Rubin said last week they removed a cancer from my face.

Rubin said his concern about the store's safety was the reason he entered despite recovering from the operation.

The co-owner also wanted to explain what the art of the game represents beyond the controversy that suddenly gained national attention.

He described a business built around objects designed to inspire curiosity, including spinning wheels, kaleidoscopes, puzzles, games and playing cards.

"And the reason this place exists is to make people feel like kids again," Rubin said.

The business started online before opening a small location in San Diego. The Brooklyn store opened almost two years ago, Rubin said.
