Pastor Issues Statement After People Accuse Him Of Groping Ariana Grande
The world seemingly tuned in to watch Aretha Franklin’s funeral yesterday, but unfortunately, people witnessed an unusual incident during the beautiful ceremony.
The incident involved Ariana Grande and a pastor.
After Grande performed, the pastor called the pop star over to applaud her. While the gesture seemed sincere, people were quick to point out the man seemed to be groping her breast.
Whether intentional or by accident, the incident drew criticism far and wide.
Now, the pastor has issued a statement regarding the footage.
According to the Associated Press, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III apologized for the incident.
He also said that perhaps he was too friendly, but that he would not intentionally grope a woman’s breast.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this was an unintentional accident?
I don’t care what you think about Ariana Grande, her music or her dress. This is wrong. That bishop’s hand should not be on her breast: I just saw this because I’ve been working and not watching https://t.co/ixVhgYBJTN
