‘Kelly Clarkson Has Put Us in Danger’
A local specialty shop on Atlantic Avenue is facing national scrutiny following a viral social media complaint from singer Kelly Clarkson regarding a mechanical bird display.
Art of Play, a specialty toy and magic shop located on Atlantic Avenue, became the center of a social media storm after Kelly Clarkson shared a negative review with her 8 million followers. The singer claimed she was treated poorly after attempting to purchase an item, comparing the experience to a scene from the movie Pretty Woman.
The dispute centers on a mechanical singing bird named "Molly," created by artist Bliss Kolb. Shop co-owner Adam Rubin stated the bird is a permanent fixture used in magic shows and is not for sale, despite online observers finding past photos of the wall featuring a price tag. Rubin characterized the incident as a misunderstanding and defended his staff against the celebrity's public criticism.
