Brooklyn Priest Demoted for Church Video Shoot and Financial Misconduct
TL;DR
Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Williamsburg, NYC, was stripped of his duties after allowing Sabrina Carpenter to film a music video on church property without following diocesan protocols. An investigation revealed further misconduct, including unauthorized financial transfers to Frank Carone, a former aide to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who is under federal investigation. Gigantiello also misused church funds for personal expenses, leading to his removal by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn.
