Leaked security footage shows Kelly Clarkson inside Brooklyn shop amid staff dispute

Pablo Torre publicly released security-camera footage showing Kelly Clarkson inside Art of Play, a curiosity shop in Brooklyn Heights. Torre aired the clip on his podcast 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' and that footage captures Clarkson moving through the store for four minutes and 50 seconds.

In the video, Clarkson is dressed in a yellow shirt, jeans, a baseball cap and a backpack as she browses items, handles a telescope and approaches a mechanical automaton bird called "Molly." The Daily Mail's account of the clip repeats Torre's timing and visual details and adds that a $15,000 price tag has been displayed beside Molly in the store.

Daily Mail reporting names Adam Rubin and quotes him saying he had to attend to fallout at the Art of Play shop after Clarkson's public comments; the article says Rubin told the outlet he was recovering from skin cancer removal surgery when the incident drew attention.

Both Pablo Torre's release of the footage and the Daily Mail article tie the clip to Clarkson's own social-media complaint that store staff were rude to her; the footage shows her speaking with a shop employee after approaching the automaton.

The clip itself, as presented on Torre's podcast, does not include an on-camera transcript in the articles, so the available reporting describes actions and proximate encounters rather than publishing an exact exchange.

The Daily Mail frames the episode as a widely noticed public dispute and focuses on the automaton's displayed $15,000 price tag as a focal point in the store encounter; Pablo Torre's release centers on the footage's sequence of events inside the shop.

USA Today, AOL and Yahoo ran headlines noting Torre's release of the Art of Play footage and describing what the tape shows, citing the same visual detail summarized here.

At this stage the available articles document the released footage, the clothing and actions visible in it, the automaton called "Molly," the four-minute-and-50-second duration of Clarkson's visit as reported by Torre and the Daily Mail, and Clarkson's prior public post accusing staff of rudeness.

The Daily Mail adds the store's displayed $15,000 tag beside the automaton and quotes a named store representative describing dealing with the incident.
