Kelly Clarkson has accused a Brooklyn store of lying after it disputed her account of being treated dismissively while trying to buy a singing bird she says was priced at $15,000 (£11,300), escalating a social-media row over what happened inside the shop. The singer first compared her experience at Art of Play to Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman, saying an employee appeared to judge whether she could afford the store's products.
After the business said the bird she asked about was never for sale, Clarkson returned with a sharper response. In a social media post, she called that explanation 'the narrative' and accusing the store of being 'rude' and 'a liar'.
