This turned out to be true even if you are Sabrina Carpenter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TdcLYZ\">\u201cShould we talk about how I got the mayor indicted?\u201d Carpenter said to her audience between songs in her set at Madison Square Garden Sunday night. <\/p>\n<p id=\"q3BSFU\">Obviously, <em>yes<\/em>, we <em>should<\/em> talk about this, though I am professionally obligated to clarify that pop star Sabrina Carpenter is not directly responsible for Adams\u2019s legal troubles. The feds got the particular tea-espresso somewhere else. Still, the story of how Carpenter became tangentially connected to the investigation into Adams and his close associates certainly warrants further investigation. <\/p>\n<h4 id=\"ieDgaL\">What is the actual link here?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"4BF8Wr\">To start, the name you need to know is Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello. Carpenter crossed paths with Gigantiello last fall when he gave her permission to film the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kLbn61Z4LDI?si=pXmrUxejEjyferhA\">music video for her song \u201cFeather\u201d<\/a> at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pVMkxb\">In the music video, Carpenter watches as various men leer in her direction, catcall her through the streets of Brooklyn, and fight each other over her\u2014before all of them ultimately meet grisly ends. In one scene filmed inside the church, she dances in front of their pastel-hued coffins, one of which reads \u201cRIP BITCH\u201d on the outside.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kLvfGU\">The diocese did not love it! <\/p>\n<p id=\"O7EEt2\">Bishop Robert J. Brennan said he was \u201cappalled\u201d the church had been used in such a manner. He performed a special Mass of Reparation to reconsecrate the church and restore the premises to their original holiness. Bishop Brennan also stripped Monsignor Gigantiello of his administrative duties. There <em>may<\/em> have been further discipline and a broader review of Gigantiello\u2019s conduct, though that\u2019s unclear\u2014but we\u2019ll come back to that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HZWEww\">Carpenter, for her part, was unphased.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0Zq5O8\">\u201cWe got approval in advance,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/music\/news\/sabrina-carpenter-touring-taylor-swift-nonsense-catholic-church-controversy-1235811476\/\">told <em>Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAnd Jesus was a carpenter.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"wcGAyz\"\/>\n<h4 id=\"pgM7Sn\">So, why does this priest matter to Eric Adams?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"mwvCti\">Though Monsignor Gigantiello did not seem to have been too familiar with Carpenter\u2019s general propensity for gore and dick jokes\u2014he said after the music video was released he thought the content filmed at the church would be clean\u2014he seems <em>very<\/em> familiar with both Adams and the mayor\u2019s former chief of staff, Frank Carone. <\/p>\n<p id=\"VWN4wV\">Gigantiello and Carone are longtime friends, and Carone introduced the monsignor to Adams during his time as an adviser. The three were friendly\u2014they all seem to share a taste for entertainment and enjoy a bit of limelight. The <em>New York Post<\/em> says Gigantiello \u201clikes to party\u201d and is often seen out with Carone. The two also joined Adams on a trip to Rome last spring, where they posted photos snacking on biscotti as a group. Gigantiello is a bit of a gourmand. In addition to his work for the church, he hosts a YouTube cooking show and produces his own tomato sauce called \u201cA Taste of Heaven.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"sCm0bs\">Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/local\/brooklyn-church-subpoenaed-by-federal-investigators\/5811948\/\">NBC New York reported<\/a> that federal investigators had subpoenaed both Gigantiello and Carone, looking for information about their business dealings with Adams.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"x89yRA\">And this is where Sabrina Carpenter comes back into the mix?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"s5rwei\">Potentially, yes. Some news outlets have speculated that federal investigators wouldn\u2019t have taken a closer look at real-estate deals involving Gigantiello and Adams were it not for the whole music video brouhaha. <\/p>\n<p id=\"OalyyE\">It\u2019s not exactly clear how the feds got roped in, but both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/new-york-playbook\/2024\/09\/23\/the-catholic-church-enters-the-adams-world-scandals-00180444\"><em>Politico<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>and the<em> New York Post<\/em> have suggested that the \u201cFeather\u201d incident prompted the Brooklyn diocese to look more closely at the Monsignor\u2019s conduct, and things spiraled from there. The <em>Post<\/em>, as only the <em>Post<\/em> can, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/09\/23\/us-news\/how-sabrina-carpenter-got-caught-up-in-eric-adams-corruption-probe\/\">wrote that<\/a> \u201cthe sultry Sabrina [put] the hitherto unknown priest and church on the radar of feds investigating corruption around Adams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"gUfv0k\">The <em>Post<\/em> also said that Brooklyn diocese officials, when asked for comment, linked the subpoenas and the investigation following the music video by suggesting they were part of the same review. To me, the statement quoted by the <em>Post<\/em> is bland and vague enough to be open for interpretation. And so far, Gigantiello has not been accused of any wrongdoing. His name was also not mentioned in last week\u2019s indictment of Adams. This may turn out to be a lesson in how rumors get started. But boy did they get started!<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"KrdFBI\">What is everyone saying about this situation?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"PlI5k6\">During a service on September 22, Gigantiello joked about the news reports, most of which mentioned his tomato sauce and culinary interests, to a group of over 100 parishioners. <\/p>\n<p id=\"aiatQg\">\u201cI\u2019m sure you saw my advertisement for my cookbook and tomato sauce on the news this week,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncronline.org\/news\/msgr-jamie-gigantiello-addresses-brooklyn-parish-over-reported-subpoena\">he said.<\/a> \u201cThat cost a lot of money to put that advertisement there.\u201d Gigantiello then said he had to be careful speaking, as he was broadcasting on a livestream. He ended on a request for prayers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KCkmav\">Adams has proclaimed his innocence in general but hasn\u2019t commented on the Sabrina Carpenter of it all specifically. Though knowing his general attitude toward celebrity, it\u2019s only a matter of time! Carpenter made her only comment so far at the Garden. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-end-para\" id=\"SOxqYb\">If there were ever a reason to bring back the \u201cNonsense\u201d outros, it would be to see what she\u2019d do with the word subpoena.
