MAGA Melts Down Over Kelly Clarkson’s Store Scandal

MAGA Melts Down Over Kelly Clarkson’s Store Scandal

Weiss Eubanks/NBCUniversal via Getty Images MAGA stars are piling on Kelly Clarkson o ver her feud with an independent Brooklyn shop , accusing the singer of using her celebrity status to bully a small business.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the far-right account Libs of TikTok attacked the 44-year-old American Idol winner after she accused novelty shop Art of Play of treating her like Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman .

The store says the animatronic bird she wanted to buy wasn’t for sale.

“What a garbage thing to do a small store because they didn’t recognize your elite status,” he wrote on X.

“This is the ‘do you know who I am’ mentality seeking revenge when they don’t.” Gutfeld continued his attacks in another post: “She wanted to buy something that wasn’t for sale.

And posted to millions a story of victimhood when her money and or status couldn’t persuade them.

Called it.” Libs of TikTok also weighed in, going so far as to call Clarkson “a whiny little b---h.” “The store claims she tried to buy something that wasn’t even for sale and is a permanent structure in the store,” wrote the far-right account on X.

“What an entitled whiny little b---h desperate to cry victimhood.” The right-wing account Leftism issued a similar response, saying, “The bird is quite obviously part of their shop.

It is attached to the wall, has a ‘do not touch’ sign, and is used on the weekends by the shop.

As you yourself said, they had offered to get you something comparable.

That could have been getting another one like it made for you by its creator.” “But no.

You wanted that exact one and expect everyone to know who you are and that you have a lot of money and treat you as such, so you had to have an online crash out over it,” they slammed.

The pile-on followed a public back-and-forth between Clarkson and Art of Play , which began when the singer complained about her visit on X Saturday.

“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,” she wrote on X Saturday.
