Now that is expert level trolling! At such a tender age too. Lol. Brought a tear to my eye.

Now GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER, PEOPLE.

I could totally get behind a ‘how kind are they to dogs’ metric for all people running for public office.  Not even a little bit sarcastic about that. 

On a side note...she’ll be taking the seat that once belonged to Tip O’Neill and John F. Kennedy.

I had that thought too but didn’t know how to put it, so thank you! She dressed like a teenager. I get that this is her signature style. But her team really let her down styling her for a funeral the same way they would for a casual performance on a talk show.

Why is this point so hard to grasp for these people? BitchSwan said the exact opposite of what commenters seem to be accusing her of. Ariana could have stood up there naked as a jaybird and it wouldn’t justify her being violated. But she picked the wrong damn dress for the function she was attending. It’s the equivalen…

Your biggest problem here was that you mentioned the dress and then added the “BUT” after it. It’s two separate conversations. 

Yeah I saw this and thought “What does she have to say and will she ever have time to say it?” I didn’t see it live, and now I know he talked the entire time she was up there.

It’s time to make a pledge for the good of humanity.

It’s not even just the grope, or the non apology. It’s the fact that he made this moment all about him. Grande had just performed a tribute, that timeless track about feeling like a natural woman, at a funeral for the woman who wrote it and this man took 40 seconds to:

- Pull her into him like they had intimacy from…

One can only HOPE those girls were over the age of ten.

I’m a person who likes to hug. I only give them when the person is receptive to it. And even then, I’ve never “accidentally” hugged a female friend in a way such that I grabbed chest. EVER.

I’m betting every single woman and girl over the age of ten in his church has had examples of his “friendly” behavior.

“It’s not appropriate to wear upper thigh length dresses to church.”

She looked perfectly fine. She’s a young woman pop star wearing a black bubble dress. What’s inappropriate for church is creepy pastors with octopus arms. 

He totally grabbed at her tit repeatedly. Are you Brock Turners cousin or something? If you can watch that video and honestly say you see nothing - that you didn’t see his gross fingers pushing each other into her boob while she’s standing there- likely you’re an ignorant victim shamer.

This may be an inappropriate time to point it out (given the Queen’s recent passing), but this guy is representative of the gaslighting that pervades all types of religion. Having grasped Ariana in this manner before millions of viewers does not make his actions more benign; it adds to the gaslighting: “I would never…

“I hug all the female artists and the male artists,”

I’d bet he’s been “too friendly” a few thousand times.

This is the worst. At a FUNERAL service?? In front of hundreds of people?? For one of the most legendary women of all time?? You gotta be kidding me. So incredibly gross and disrespectful to Ariana and Aretha.
