Ariana Grande touched inappropriately at Aretha Franklin funeral

Your online tantrums distract from the beauty of the whole service for Aretha.

Your pastor distracted from the beauty of the whole service! He was openly trying to flirt with Ariana and she was embarrassed.
The side breast grip was firm. And he went back to it when she moved. Shame on him for using his position of power and shame on you to try to minimize it.

She seems like one of those girls who does ridiculous things, thinking that people will find it “adorable”, when really it’s just obnoxious. I remember seeing her on a show and she kept clomping around awkwardly and acting stupid. It wasn’t funny at all, it just came across as super awkward and annoying. Kind of like the donut licking incident; not funny or cute, just stupid.

The man assaulted her.

Crazy online mob.

If you didn’t see him gripping her breast (side boob), then you have not seen the clip everyone’s talking about.

I think what is important to remember here is that Ariana is still young.

I am sure all of us have done something dumb when we were in our early-twenties or so.

Perhaps the dress was a tribute to Aretha herself.
When she was young too.

I agree. She’s a bit like those little “accessory dogs” that are small and cute, but their owners let them get away with bad behavior because of this, so the become spoiled. Big dogs, on the other hand, get corrected quickly, and are often well behaved.

Exactly.

He groped her, whether inadvertently or otherwise. And Ariana Grande's face looked terrified.

She should press charges for assault. Who wants a pastor like that?

I saw the clip the OP posted. Sorry DCUM lynch mob, this is not getting any traction.

None of this justifies what happened to her. If you believe being groped is a “correction”, you are a sick person.

I'm not worried only because if he gets away with it this time, he WILL do it again. Because he's an entitled filthy man who thinks he's above it all.

Me thinks this is standard operating procedure for this scumbag - so much so that he didn't even realize he was doing it in front of thousands of onlookers and cameras galore.

Religious "leaders" as a whole represent a big chunk of sexual predators.

He needs to be sent out to pasture.

Ariana works so hard to look really young and innocent. She talks in a whispery voice. She also has anxiety. Whens he goes on talk shows or does events, she usually does games or something as she odesn't like to just be herself talking.

If you listen to her back when she talked and acted normally a few years ago, it is like a different person. Now she tries very hard to seem childlike and angelic. I don't really get it. Maybe its a persona that makes her feel less anxious.

I don't think he was intentionally touching her boob. She is short and she moved a couple times. He is preaching or doing whatever he was doing, likely not really paying any attention to there his hand was. No need for him to hold her tight in the first place but I don't see this as an assault. Just a guy keeping a too tight grip on a young woman.

+1 She has every right to try to look sexy rather than demure at a funeral.
