Kelly Clarkson and the New York store Art of Play are in a public dispute following the singer's claims that she experienced a 'Pretty Woman'-style insult from a rude employee during a visit. The store disputed Clarkson's account, stating on Monday that the singer was only inside for five minutes and that the owner reached out to clear the air regarding the incident.
In response to the store's public statements and denial of the employee's rudeness, the 'American Idol' alumna dismissed the store's version of events and called the owner a 'liar.' The disagreement centers on conflicting narratives over the duration of the visit and the demeanor of the staff during Clarkson's appearance at the establishment.
