The timestamped footage reveals that Kelly immediately pulled out her phone after leaving the store at 2:54 p.m. — and her now-viral tweet about receiving alleged “Pretty Woman” treatment was shared just 15 minutes later.

As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations.

Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a…

The store’s Instagram account went on to repost a load of stories about the drama, including one that accused Kelly of mobilizing "8 million angry fans" against them.

Cool, cool. Sure, it wasn’t for sale. That’s the narrative Art of Play is gonna go with 👍 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… pic.twitter.com/9PEhUWnIOt

“And by the way, I obviously support small businesses because I was literally at a small business trying to purchase things. I love small businesses and know they are important and I always support them, but you don’t get a free pass to treat people less than in your store just because you are a small business. It’s not that hard to be kind. I never blast people but you my friend were an exception. Your store is really cool. Unfortunately, you aren’t,” she added.

“We also offered to show her a different singing bird automaton, made by a traditional clockmaking shop in Germany, that she could have taken home with her that day. It costs about $2,000. She did not stick around long enough to see it,” they alleged. “We’ve reached out to Kelly directly to try and clear the air. We really do wish her the best and hope that someday we can all laugh about this misunderstanding.”

I hate gay guy Halloween what do you mean you’re the singing and dancing automated bird Molly from the Kelly Clarkson Brooklyn store controversy

I'm cancelling all my meetings today and focusing 100% of my energy on Kelly Clarkson

JUDGE JUDY: So this is about a bird?KELLY CLARKSON: It was an automata. JUDY: Amma wamma what?CLARKSON: It's like a bird that moves on its own. STORE OWNER: Like a robot bird. JUDGE JUDY: Did I say you can talk yet? Go on sweetheart. CLARKSON: It had a sign.

24 hours ago I didn’t know anything about Molly the singing bird and now I’m more invested in her than with the wellbeing of my own mother

I’m gonna start saying “i drove all the way to Brooklyn…” when things don’t go my way

The salesman is in a condescending stance with a cup in his hand. The footage actually backs up what Kelly said

“ok yeah the employee/boss being very stand offish based on his body and i get what she was saying cause how you work there and have a cup in hand, leaning on furniture, legs crossed?” one more tweet said.

“This seems like a misunderstanding that happened quickly and didn’t need to become an internet thing,” another post read, to which someone replied, “Definitely didn't require someone with tens of millions of followers to post a snarky comment trying to shame a retail worker for a fleeting conversation. I usually like Kelly, but this is icky.”

One more person theorized, “I feel like she was just having an off day and didn’t handle the ‘rejection’ as well as she might’ve on a different day. To immediately go home and tweet about it is definitely an option you take when you’re not having a great day and/or not in a good headspace. Also worth mentioning, that shop was hella busy and they really need to have eyeballs on everyone in the store to make sure things aren’t getting stolen. I think it was a misunderstanding that could’ve been handled better all around.”
