In front of the whole world to see! That poor, poor woman. As if she hasn’t been through enough recently without some sleeze bag sexually assaulting her at a funeral.

Dreadful, what an awful thing to happen at a funeral. Ariana Grande was wonderful around the Manchester bombing.

If you've seen the video footage he's clearly having a good old feel around, the dirty bastard, his fingers wandering up and down the side of her boob Angry . And still people are commenting on her dress and whether it was appropriate for the occasion. Sad

Fortunately plenty of comments, from men as well as women, pointing out that it doesn't matter what she was wearing, its not an invitation to be groped. Seeing it played out so blatantly might be an eye opener for some.

Bloody hell - look at her face, look at his fingers pressed in at what is clearly an inappropriate level.

And he knows she can't and won't make a fuss, and that he can just apologise and move on.

I need to see some more pictures - if he hugs everyone, then there'll be similar of him with Bill Clinton etc right?

Yes we have all encounteyed sleaze like him. Too friendly, holding on too tight, too near the breast or bum. Totally taking advantage of a young woman.

FFS. This is awful. And he really had a strong hold of her too. Another hiding in plain sight. So brave of her to speak up. He needs to go.

@bd67th Ariana Grande is an Italian American...

This is so horrific to see. It's sad how many women have been in a situation like this. And if this can happen in such a public setting, imagine what is happening to women and girls by men in positions of authority behind closed doors. Makes me so angry.

Fuck's sake. Just goes to show that even the most high profile successful women are not immune to this shit. See also: Taylor Swift and the groping DJ creep. Poor Ariana, felt up in front of the entire world.

So, after making a joke about her Latino name, he apologises for touching her breast with "maybe I crossed the border". And we are not supposed to notice the reference to the US-Mexican border (of Trump's Wall infamy). This "man of God" is trolling.

Definitely copping a feel & if you enlarge the image he looks to have been groping hard. Urgh.

YeTalkShiteHen · 01/09/2018 09:16

Ugh. She looks so uncomfortable, why did he think it was ok to do that???

UpstartCrow · 01/09/2018 09:13

Clicky link. Looking at the photo, I don't think she was overreacting.

Exactly Giles whatever she says or does now, she will be criticised. it is beyond belief this could happen so publicly, and he has got away with it!

Oh gosh. Poor woman. She can't even really say anything without people mist likely berating her about detracting from the funeral.

They are already commenting on her dress Angry

Arcadia · 01/09/2018 08:36

I don't even know what to say about it. Just yuk.
