Recently, she took to social media Saturday to criticize a Brooklyn toy store she felt treated her dismissively over a $15,000 toy bird. The store, Art of Play, was displeased and responded back-and-forth. Now, comedian Kathy Griffin has weighed in, assuming the world will trust her judgment after her own controversial stunt with a Trump-like prop. Griffin expressed support for Clarkson on Page Six, stating she&#8217;s confident Clarkson is truthful and unlikely to lie online about such matters. She suggested Clarkson probably posted impulsively late at night without legal or PR input and believes the store should apologize for their response. Store co-owner Adam Rubin refused to apologize and criticized Clarkson\u2019s behavior as an abuse of power while questioning society\u2019s view of celebrities\u2019 influence. Some critics dismiss Griffin\u2019s support as attempts to stay relevant amid her declining fame. Rubin noted that although Clarkson&#8217;s bad day might be understandable, attacking his staff on social media crossed a line-an act he calls \u201casymmetrical social warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2685131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Kelly-Clarkson-toy-store-feud.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[87314,41369,87315,65584,87104],"class_list":["post-2685130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-backup-singer-controversy","tag-celebrity-feud","tag-entertainment-drama","tag-kathy-griffin","tag-kelly-clarkson"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Kelly-Clarkson-toy-store-feud.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2685130"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2685134,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685130\/revisions\/2685134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2685131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2685130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2685130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2685130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
