Kelly Clarkson has criticised Brooklyn shop Art of Play, saying an employee treated her as though she could not afford the products she wanted to buy. The singer compared the encounter to Julia Roberts' shopping experience in the 1990 film Pretty Woman.
In an X post on Saturday, 10 October, Clarkson said she had travelled to the store with several purchases in mind but was offered something 'comparable' instead. Her account does not establish why the alternative was suggested, and the shop has not publicly explained the interaction in the reporting reviewed.
