Kelly Clarkson 'has put us in danger,' Brooklyn store owner claims as bird's price tag soars to $15M

Kelly Clarkson's public clash with a Brooklyn shop has left its owner concerned about more than a lost sale.

Adam Rubin, co-owner of Art of Play and a childrens author, spoke with Fox News Digital inside the Brooklyn store Tuesday morning, claiming the singer has put his business in danger after their viral dispute over a $15,000 mechanical singing bird.

The bird at the center of the controversy now has a staggering $15 million price tag.

"But I am afraid for the safety of our shop. Kelly Clarkson has put us in danger," Rubin told Fox News Digital.

Rubin claimed the backlash has extended beyond angry comments online, with people associated with the business allegedly facing threats and having their personal information exposed.

"We've got incredible support from our neighbors and fans over the past few days, and all of them have been attacked, threatened, doxed," he said.

Rubin argued that Clarkson's celebrity status carries a responsibility.

"You can't just try to squash somebody like a bug and expect everybody to give you a pass," he said. 

The mechanical bird that sparked the dispute has also undergone a dramatic price change.

A photograph taken Tuesday by Fox News Digital shows a new sign beside Molly identifying the bird as a creation of artist Bliss Kolb, with an eye-popping price of $15 million.

The sign describes Molly as "The world's most famous singing bird automata!" and lists its price as "$15,000,000."

The new figure is 1,000 times the original $15,000 price at the center of Clarkson's complaint.

Art of Play previously explained in a public statement that the original $15,000 figure referred to a nearly identical automaton available from artist Bliss Kolb, while Molly herself is permanently attached to the wall and serves as a fixture in the store's magic performances.

Rubin also addressed the dramatic price change during his conversation with Fox News Digital, pointing to the attention Molly has received since Clarkson's visit.

He described the new figure as a matter of "supply and demand," while the store has maintained that the bird is not for sale.

Rubin suggested Molly's sudden notoriety has made her one of the most recognizable mechanical birds in the world.

The new sign offers a striking contrast to the original $15,000 price tag that Clarkson cited in her complaint.

The price change adds another twist to a dispute that began Saturday when Clarkson visited the Brooklyn shop and later accused an employee of treating her as though she couldn't afford its merchandise.

Clarkson initially took to social media to describe what she considered a humiliating shopping experience, comparing her treatment to Julia Roberts' character in the 1990 film "Pretty Woman."

"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 couldnt afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me," Clarkson wrote.

"Wow, dude. Youre an idiot and just lost a huge sale."

The singer later doubled down on her account after Art of Play disputed her version of events.

Clarkson maintained that she had poin
