A New York priest who let popstar Sabrina Carpenter film provocative scenes for a music video inside his church has been accused of mismanagement and stripped of his duties.<\/p>\n

Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello was relieved of \u201cany pastoral oversight or governance role\u201d at the church, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Church officials launched an investigation after the October 2023 music video release for Carpenter\u2019s hit song Feather, filmed inside the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Diocese said the investigation found other instances of mismanagement beyond the music video that appalled some, including unapproved financial transfers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am saddened to share that investigations conducted by Alvarez & Marsal and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP have uncovered evidence of serious violations of Diocesan policies and protocols,\u201d Bishop Robert Brennan said in the statement, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n

A replacement was installed and Mr Gigantiello was removed from his responsibilities, the statement read.<\/p>\n

Mr Gigantiello\u2019s administrative powers had been revoked last November shortly after the criticism of Carpenter\u2019s video.<\/p>\n

He was also removed from fundraising duties as vicar of development for the diocese.<\/p>\n

Images from Carpenter\u2019s video show a crucifix with profanity printed on it and also Carpenter dancing on the altar in a short black dress.<\/p>\n

The diocese at the time said it was \u201cappalled\u201d and that proper procedures for filming had not been followed, the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

In a letter to parishioners last year, Mr Gigantiello said allowing Carpenter to film inside the church was a \u201clapse in judgment\u201d. He has not responded to the allegations that led to his dismissal.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Bishop Brennan said a larger review under the investigation detected other instances of administrative impropriety, including Mr Gigantiello using a credit card for personal expenses.<\/p>\n

Bishop Brennan also said that, from 2019 to 2021, Mr Gigantiello transferred nearly $2m (KSh. 258.4 M) in church funds to bank accounts affiliated with a former staff member of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.<\/p>\n

Adams was indicted in September on five counts of criminal offences, including bribery, wire fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations.<\/p>\n

A number of investigations have centred on Adams and those in his orbit \u2013 leading to subpoenas, law enforcement raids and a flurry of resignations of top officials who help lead New York City.<\/p>\n
