Security footage from Kelly Clarksons viral shopping trip has been released
On Saturday, singer Kelly Clarkson published a scathing X post about her experience at Brooklyn store Art of Play, claiming that she was treated "like Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman " when she tried to buy a mechanical bird.
The internet quickly took sides , with Clarkson and Art of Play both issuing multiple statements arguing about what actually happened.
Now security footage of the interaction has been made public, offering more fodder for people to scrutinise and argue about.

Podcast Pablo Torres Finds Out shared the video in a YouTube livestream on Tuesday, showing Clarkson visiting Art of Play just before 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct.
10.
In the footage timestamped 2:49 p.m., a person Torres identified as Clarkson entered the store and began browsing items on display.
She soon looked toward Molly, the mechanical bird at the centre of the controversy, and sought the attention of a store worker.
Though Art of Play's security video has no audio, it appears as though Clarkson and the worker were discussing Molly.
The pair stood behind the bird as they spoke, Clarkson pointing and looking toward it while the worker performed an American lean with a drink in hand.
Unfortunately, the footage is too blurry and obscured to clearly determine the full nature of the conversation.
The worker then walked away toward the other side of the store while Clarkson moved to the back of it, apparently done with the conversation.
The worker did point at something on the wall he had moved to, looking toward Clarkson as he did so.
