Hello, Molly? The $15 Million Bird Kelly Clarkson Coveted Finally Breaks Her Silence (Exclusive)

The Hollywood Reporter ·

A wall-mounted animatronic bird named Molly, the mascot of Brooklyn’s Art of Play curiosity shop, has responded satirically to Kelly Clarkson’s visit and her claim that staff treated her as though she could not afford to buy it. The dispute matters because the social media row escalated into doxxing and death threats against the shop’s owners, prompting a union statement defending them.

Clarkson visited on 10 October and was told Molly was not for sale, though the artist could make a duplicate for $15,000. The shop says it has since put an ironic $15 million price tag on the bird; its article also jokes about other customers asking to buy display items and describes the shop’s unusual attractions. The provided text ends mid-sentence while mentioning Clarkson’s Las Vegas residency.

  • Molly the bird says she was never for sale.
  • Clarkson said shop staff made assumptions about her.
  • The row brought threats against the shop’s owners.
