TL;DR

A Brooklyn priest, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, was demoted after allowing Sabrina Carpenter to film a music video in his church, which led to an investigation uncovering his mishandling of nearly $2 million in parish funds. The investigation revealed unauthorized financial transfers to entities linked to a former aide of Mayor Eric Adams, who is under federal investigation. Gigantiello has been stripped of his duties, and the church is cooperating with law enforcement.
