Art of Play’s security footage actually proves Kelly completely right:
1. She knew what she wanted: She walked straight to specific items without wasting time, exactly as she claimed.
2. The body language speaks volumes: Her nervous demeanour while pointing at the bird contrasts sharply with the staff member’s overconfident gestures.
3. The Price-Pointing: The staffer stood there overly confident, explicitly pointing out the price of the bird before trying to steer her toward a "cheaper" option, something she never asked for.
4. The Reaction: Her body language shows genuine shock and nerves, not entitlement. She stood there frozen for a solid 15 seconds, processing the awkwardness and deciding what to do, before putting everything back and walking out.
5. As someone who can't afford a $15K singing bird, I’d be furious too if a store owner rubbed the price tag in my face like that.

He doesn’t matter. We all see the truth. You’re vicious savages. A single columnist didn’t help me see it. Watching a parent pick up their children’s body parts in Gaza, or witnessing all those villages razed in Southern Lebanon, had way more impact.
We literally all saw the IDF gang rape ON CAMERA and get away with it.
Savages. It’s too late. We all know and I promise I won’t let anyone forget.
