Ariana Grande touched inappropriately at Aretha Franklin funeral

[Anonymous]

Pretty disgusting. Her dress length is not pertinent to this discussion.

The AA pastor also made a racist joke about her Latina-sounding name.

He is not just touching her side, his fingers are piano playing on her breasts. Her body language shows twisting and trying to be further away and tense. And then he tops it of by mentioning "respect."

The girl needs a new stylist. Her dress was ridiculously inappropriate. And her Rapunzel ponytail. Then she had to awkwardly sing standing 2 feet in front, but back-facing, Bill Clinton (ha). She’s a full body singer with her hair swinging and skirt shimming up impossibly higher. Bringing her silly fiancé. She just made too much of the news about herself. Mission accomplished, I guess.

Edit: the man is a racist perv.

But nobody will call out the racism. I wonder if AAs think it's funny? Do they not realize it's racist and offensive? Or do they only recognize racism that offends them?

Faith Hill’s dress had a ‘sexy’ cut out shoulder with mesh—was that inappropriate, too?

I didn’t like his Taco Bell comment, either.

To me the issue wasn't that he was groping her breast. His hand wasn't that close to it. But he was holding her close to him and regardless of where his hand was that felt really uncomfortable to me. It's one thing to have an emcee put his arm around you - it's another thing to have him pull you in close and hold you there while he's talking. That was uncomfortable at a minimum and not respectful of physical boundaries.

Looks like the fingers have a mind of their own.

Is there enough to prosecute here?

Taco Bell? Racist joke, bro.

Exactly. Hypocrisy and double standards on racist comments because he is AA.

She's not even Latina - she's Italian.

I can’t imagine anyone I don’t know touching me that way and not feeling violated.

I never looked at her dress. No relevant

No, he was hugging her and that is where his hand went because of her height. Making too much of it. Having performances at funerals like it is an award show is what is weird. Having an open casket travel around with clothing changes for the deceased is also weird. So much weird going on...his hand wasn't the problem.
