Brooklyn Priest Demoted Over $1.9M Scandal Linked to Sabrina Carpenter Video
TL;DR
Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, a New York City priest, was demoted after an investigation revealed unauthorized financial transfers and mismanagement at his church, following the filming of a controversial Sabrina Carpenter music video. The inquiry uncovered $1.9 million in unauthorized transfers to accounts linked to a former aide of Mayor Eric Adams, prompting the diocese to appoint Bishop Witold Mroziewski as the new administrator. The investigation also led to the removal of a deacon for inappropriate conduct, and federal investigators are now involved.
