[Arcadia]

Aretha Franklin funeral bishop accused of 'groping' Ariana Grande apologises - Sky Newsapple.news/AOQmxnEikRYi9TpSgePf17A

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

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

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!

clicky version of OP's link

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

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

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

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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?

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 . And still people are commenting on her dress and whether it was appropriate for the occasion.

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.

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

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.

Poor Arianna

Jimmy Savile did this on TOTP to one of the Nolan sisters (who was 14 at the time). Clearly these perves get off on doing it on camera.
If you feel the need to hug a woman then you just put your arm around her shoulder or waist, it's not hard to miss her breast..

I remember someone saying that when she had her picture taken with Obama, he asked if he could put his arm around her. Simple things men can do so that arseholes like this stand out. Don't touch without permission. FFS.

Poor woman. And we've all met one of these

The video is even worse. He should not have touched her at all. She's leaning away from him, clearly uncomfortable. He then grips her harder. Vile man

Poor woman. He's a dirty perve.

I tried to watch the video but ended up with the Guardian one. Which, true to fucking form, featured a few seconds of the actual event and loooots of his shitty false apology.

OMFG that video
She is leaning as far back as she can, his arm around her with fingers dug in physically prevents her from getting away further without it being obvious and she can't do that as she's on a stage at a fucking funeral
He has a good old feel and then when she moves really grabs at her tit
Dirty old bastard
and
WTF
Who do these men think they are that they can do this shit, with TV cameras on them, the world watching? That they think it's oK / no one will notice / no one will care?

So fucking disrespectful to aretha feeling up a young woman at her funeral, revolting

upstartcrow's link has clear video

I hope he doesn't get away with it. It's been in the news and nowadays we are so much more sensitive to this type of thing. I do t know what can happen but...something.
