“I ask one of the shoppers, who declined to give her name, about the Clarkson feud.”
“Weiss Eubanks/NBCUniversal/Getty Images Three days after Kelly Clarkson started a public feud with the Brooklyn game shop Art of Play, the story is still ricocheting around the internet, with supporters on both sides weighing in on social media.”
“Due to Palestine Action Support ‘Ruthless and Calculated’: Opening Statements Begin in Russell Brand Rape Trial Mia Goth Blames Instagram for Spread of Viral AI-Generated Selfie View all posts by CT Jones October 14, 2026 Add us as a Google Preferred Source Despite the ongoing controversy, Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin says he would “absolutely” welcome Clarkson back to his store.”
““I know!” Rubin exclaims as he goes to hug her.”
“(The spat has also led to no shortage of media coverage, including a crush of reporters who had been awaiting Rubin as he arrived to open the shop earlier this same morning.) “Kelly Clarkson knew that she was lighting that fuse when she decided to use her fame and wealth on a public platform to try to destroy our business,” he says.”
“But inside the tiny shop at the western end of Atlantic Avenue, just steps from an on-ramp for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, things are placid and drama-free.”
“Floor-to-ceiling shelves are stacked with fine hardcover books, wooden xylophones, ticking clocks, and high-tech speakers.”
“And while Rubin told reporters he’s upped Molly’s price (sarcastically, we presume) to $15 million due to “popular demand,” he otherwise seems eager to take the temperature on the feud down.”
“Co-owner Adam Rubin tells Rolling Stone the online attention has led to threatening messages over the phone, abusive DMs, review bombs, intrusive influencers filming in the store, and vitriol hurled at store employees and passersby — including one incident where the police had to be called.”
““This is a place designed for wonder,” says Rubin, who’s also the author of the popular children’s book Dragons Love Tacos .”
“People come in in a bad mood and leave in a better mood.” When I ask if he and the owners would ever have Clarkson — who famously left in a bad mood — back, he’s quick to respond: “Absolutely.” Trending Stories Joni Mitchell Becomes a U.S.”
“Clarkson alleged on X that an employee tried to direct her to a less expensive item, and likened her experience to the famed Pretty Woman scene where Julia Roberts’ sex worker Vivian is turned away from a Rodeo Drive boutique by snooty saleswomen.”
