Well, we all remember the scene in Pretty Woman when a saleswoman dismisses and judges Julia Roberts.
Well, Kelly Clarkson said that she recently had a similar experience at a store in Brooklyn.
You all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn and see if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman." The store denied Kelly's story, claiming that the item she wanted to buy wasn't for sale.
Also, uh, put a snarky little line from one of Kelly's songs and was like, "You know what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Kind of a snarky-
Oh, boy
... reply to her, and she responded again by doubling down and calling them liars.
So the whole conversation we had when I asked you if it was for sale whilst pointing to the price tag hanging on the wall as you elevator eyed me didn't happen." Uh, she said, uh, "It didn't happen as you elevator eyed me with a condescending tone and said, 'Yes, it's for sale, but it costs $15,000 so if you'd like me to find something comparable for you I can.'"
What's elevator eyes?
Yeah.
