What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOkay, the one we teased: Kelly Clarkson is in a public feud with a Brooklyn vintage shop, and it started with a social media post.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe 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.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe store has a different explanation. The item she wanted wasn't for sale.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNot for sale?

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'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.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentVera, the shop is basically saying the vintage jacket is a museum piece. It's on display, like a dinosaur.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou can look, but you can't buy the dinosaur.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe coverage didn't help her. TheBlaze says she spiraled, and the headline quotes the store side: she did the diva thing.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSpiraled is harsh. She posted a complaint. That's what everybody does when a shop won't sell them the thing.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentChat, have you ever been told no by a thrift store? Drop it below. I want the full saga.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSomewhere in Brooklyn there is a jacket, a very expensive one, and it has never been more famous or less available.
