Kelly Clarkson's complaint
Kelly Clarkson accused Art of Play of treating her poorly after inquiring about a $15,000 bird automaton.
“They’re shouting, they’re screaming. They show up, they shout, ‘You’re racially profiling Kelly Clarkson!’”
Store's response
Art of Play claimed they offered a $2,000 similar item and that Kelly is 'welcome anytime'.
“They’re shouting, they’re screaming. They show up, they shout, ‘You’re racially profiling Kelly Clarkson!’”
Price tag clarification
Art of Play stated Molly the bird now has a $15 million price tag and a $15,000 twin for Bliss Kolb.
“We explained that while molly is permanently attached to the wall and serves as a de facto mascot for our shop, a nearly identical automaton is owned by the creator of the machines, a brilliant artist named bliss kolb who lives in seattle”
Kelly's counter
Kelly claimed the store's response was rude and a lie, saying the $15,000 item was never for sale.
“So the whole conversation we had when i asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall with the title singing bird didn’t happen as you elevator eyed me saying in a condescending tone ‘yes, it’s for sale but it costs 15,000 dollars so if you’d like me to find something comparable for you i can’”
