Kelly Clarkson slams Brooklyn store for treating her like Julia Roberts’ ‘Pretty Woman’ character: ‘You’re an idiot’
One Brooklyn establishment may want to rethink a moment like this.
Kelly Clarkson took to X (formerly Twitter) Saturday to call out a store named Art of Play in Brooklyn for treating her like Julia Roberts’ iconic “Pretty Woman” character during a recent shopping excursion.
“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 shared.
“Wow, dude,” the “American Idol” winner continued, seemingly calling out a specific associate who she’d interacted with. “You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale.”
Clarkson concluded her post by telling her 8.8 million followers on the social media platform: “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 declined to comment when contacted by Page Six Saturday.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer’s fans took to the replies to share their reaction to her upsetting shopping trip.
Many made the same joke, pointing to the memorable line from “Pretty Woman” when Roberts’ character — Vivian Ward, a Hollywood escort who falls in love with a wealthy client (Richard Gere’s Edward Lewis) — is turned away from a posh store on Rodeo Drive due to the way she looks.
According to the store’s website, Art of Play features a “unique collection of magical home goods, puzzles, games, toys and books” and boasts claims of being called “one of the most beautiful shops in New York City.”
Aside from their storefront, Art of Play has an “intimate 26-seat theatre” which “hosts performances from the best close-up magicians in the world,” per its site.
