Pop star Sabrina Carpenter bragged on stage that she had “indicted” Mayor Eric Adams after one of her racy music videos was linked to a chorus of scandals swirling around Hizzoner.
The 25-year-old joked during her Big Apple concert at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night about her apparent ties to the federal corruption investigation currently embroiling the mayor, according to social media footage. Said.
“Damn, what do we do now? Let's talk about how I indicted the mayor,” Carpenter joked to cheering fans during a break between songs.
The diminutive performer addressed the controversy days after Adams pleaded not guilty Friday in Manhattan federal court to charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery.
Carpenter's name jumped into the headlines earlier this month after it was revealed that federal investigators were conducting a separate investigation into a Brooklyn priest who is a friend of the mayor. A Brooklyn priest caused an unholy uproar last year when he allowed a sultry pop star to film the movie “Feather” in his church.
Federal authorities have issued a subpoena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Williamsburg, seeking information about transactions between one of its senior pastors, the Rev. Jamie Gigantiero, and Frank Carone, a former chief of staff at Hizzoner Co. .
Gigantiero was demoted last year after it was revealed that he had approved the filming of Carpenter's vulgar music clip, in which he sang “Rest in peace, bitch” above the altar of a 160-year-old Catholic church.
Asked for comment about the federal investigation at the time, Brooklyn Diocese officials responded with a statement linking it to an internal church investigation into Carpenter's music video.
“The investigation is ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further,” diocese officials said in a statement.
“The diocese is committed to cooperating with law enforcement in all investigations, including the conduct of individual parishes and the involvement of priests.”
