Kelly Clarkson says she got the bum’s rush in Brooklyn today.
The famed pop singer and talk show host went out to Atlantic Avenue to see s a shop called Art at Play.
Apparently, the staff wasn’t nice to her. Not only did they not recognize Clarkson — which is hard to imagine, don’t they have TV’s in Brooklyn? — they took her to be hoi polloi.
Kelly posted on Twitter, with a thumbs down emoji:
“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 huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out ”
Art of Play describes itself as ?Brooklyn Height’s premier curiosity shop.” They don’t have a copy editor, because the s should precede the apostrophe.
Anyway, going by car to Brooklyn is hike if in a car, trust me, I know. A lot of packing is involved and a visa must be secured.
But Kelly, this can happen in Manhattan, too. And you don’t have to be a celebrity. I browsed in a watch store on Spring Street in Soho recently and no one from the staff even looked up while I was there.
Art of Play, you’ve got a problem.
