If you were online at all yesterday, chances are you spotted a video doing the rounds which clearly shows the pastor at Aretha Franklin's funeral getting far too familiar with singer Ariana Grande, who had just performed at the ceremony.

Afterwards, Luke Cage star Mike Colter send out a Tweet (since deleted) which not only made light of the incident, but seemed to praise Bishop Charles H. Ellis III for his wandering hands.



Colter has since apologized, claiming that he was being sarcastic in order to "point out the absurdity of the act itself," but soon deleted that as well.

Just in case you didn't see the video in question, you can check it out below.
