What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: TheBlaze.
Hank LedgerOkay, the one we teased: Kelly Clarkson is in a public feud with a Brooklyn vintage shop, and it started with a social media post.
Vera BullockShe said she drove all the way to Brooklyn for a store that looked really rad, and then claimed an employee treated her as if she couldn't afford what she wanted.
Hank LedgerThe store has a different explanation. The item she wanted wasn't for sale.
Kenji MoonfieldNot for sale?
Vera BullockI'm sure there's been a misunderstanding. A singer with that voice walks in and the whole room should hear angels, not a price tag.
Kenji MoonfieldVera, the shop is basically saying the vintage jacket is a museum piece. It's on display, like a dinosaur.
Kenji MoonfieldYou can look, but you can't buy the dinosaur.
Hank LedgerThe coverage didn't help her. TheBlaze says she spiraled, and the headline quotes the store side: she did the diva thing.
Vera BullockSpiraled is harsh. She posted a complaint. That's what everybody does when a shop won't sell them the thing.
Kenji MoonfieldChat, have you ever been told no by a thrift store? Drop it below. I want the full saga.
Hank LedgerSomewhere in Brooklyn there is a jacket, a very expensive one, and it has never been more famous or less available.
