Pastor at Aretha Franklin's Funeral Appears to Grope Ariana Grande

This is the wrong kind of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

This pastor got incredibly handsy with Ariana Grande during Aretha Franklin's funeral.

You can see the superstar singer pulling away from him before he tightens his grip and pulls her even closer.

Sickening. https://t.co/f3DJNDK8Yc pic.twitter.com/yX0FzyuhBu

The look on Grande’s face in the middle picture says it all. The “reverend’s” hand placement in the third photo wanders into #MeToo territory.

Bishop Ellis has jokes too!

E!News reports that after Grande sang, Ellis said, “When I saw Ariana Grande on the program, I thought that was a new something at Taco Bell.”

We can now play the “What if a conservative had said this?” game. And I think we all know how that would turn out.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for any outrage from CNN or MSNBC about this.
