Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, the leader of a church in New York where pop star Sabrina Carpenter filmed a controversial music video, has been relieved of his duties after an investigation uncovered mismanagement and administrative impropriety.** Among the violations were using the church's credit card for personal expenses and transferring $1.9m in parish funds to a former aide in the Adams administration, which is under a corruption probe. Gigantiello has also been cut from his pastoral duties but will still be able to say mass with permission from the new parish administrator, Bishop Witold Mroziewski.

Carpenter, who made light of the situation, has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
