I think you're probably right and the problematic person ends up being Kelly but it's still unclear.

Edit: Okay I'm gonna look properly instead actually. Puts on hazmat suit.

Kelly Clarkson visited Art of Play, a curiosity/magic shop in Brooklyn Heights, on Oct 10, and asked about "Molly," a one-off art piece mechanical singing bird on the wall. Kelly claims the employee "elevator eyed" her and condescendingly said it was $15,000 and offered to find "something comparable."

The store then countered that Molly is their mascot, permanently wall-mounted and never for sale. The $15,000 tag they say actually referred to ordering a custom "twin" from the Seattle artist who built it, and they offered to show her a $2,000 bird she could take home instead.

Then Kelly posted a photo of Molly with the $15,000 tag, which social media immediately read as proof the store lied, blood in the water.

The store reiterated their claim that the tag was for custom orders, not Molly itself. Co-owner Adam Rubin said Kelly's posts "put us in danger" amid a wave of harassment and fake negative reviews, and cheekily raised Molly's price to $15 million.
