Groping Bishop apologizes to Ariana Grande; says he apologizes to the Hispanic community but Grande is Italian

A Bishop at Aretha Franklin’s funeral who visibly groped singer Ariana Grande has apologized to the singer.

Bishop Charles H Ellis III has apologized to singer Ariana Grande who looked visibly uncomfortable as the Bishop grabbed her from the side, holding the side of her right breast.

Bishop Charles H Ellis III told the Associated Press, “It would never be my intention to touch any woman’s breast.”

“Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar.”

The Bishop also said “I personally and sincerely apologise to Ariana and to her fans and to the whole Hispanic community”, but there’s another problem here folks.

Ariana Grande is NOT Hispanic, in fact she’s of Sicilian descent, but let’s not get distracted from what he did.

Fans of Ariana & other celebrities took to Twitter to defend Grande, while some actually blamed the singer, saying that her outfit was inappropriate for a funeral, which still doesn’t give the Bishop a right to grope the singer and I will add it was appalling to see that these disgusting comments came mostly from women.

I'm really sorry you had to go thru that @ArianaGrande that groping was beyond blatant and we could all see and feel your discomfort. #NotCool

Grande was paying her respects to the late Queen of soul Aretha Franklin who passed away last week of cancer at the age of 76. She sang alongside with Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan.
