During a recent performance, pop star Sabrina Carpenter humorously suggested her connection to the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, saying, "Damn, what now? Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted." The comment, made in lighthearted jest, has nonetheless caught public attention due to its coincidental timing with the unfolding federal charges against Adams.
The origins of the federal investigation into Mayor Adams' office have been linked to the production of Sabrina Carpenter's music video for 'Feather.' Parts of the video were shot at a church in Brooklyn, with permission granted by Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who was dismissed for allowing this access. The link between Carpenter's project and the corruption investigation raises eyebrows, highlighting how creative endeavors can inadvertently intersect with political scrutiny.
The Brooklyn diocese officials, responding to inquiries about a subpoena regarding Monsignor Gigantiello's dealings with Frank Carone, emphasized their desire to cooperate with law enforcement. They mentioned an ongoing internal investigation related to Carpenter's music video shoot, indicating that the issues at hand are not only tied to the Mayor's office but also involve the church's oversight over its clergy's actions.
Monsignor Gigantiello faced dismissal for permitting a politically sensitive music video shoot at the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church. He asserted he was unaware of any inappropriate content being filmed, yet the situation illustrates the thin line between artistic freedom and regulatory oversight in religious settings, particularly when high-profile individuals are involved.
