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.

If we're going to start getting articles on every bit of outrage culture this site is going to have to stop reporting on actual CBM news.

@MrDandy - Just the ones that involve CBM actors, and then just the ones that justifiably cause outrage. This counts imo.

@RorMachine - "justifiably" being so loose here we'll wonder if it has a definition at all anymore.

@MrDandy - The definition of justifiable would be entirely subjective, wouldn't you say?

@regularmovieguy - How about this for a response: if you think that was assault, then you are stone-cold moron

@Elle79

You still haven’t answered the question: do you know the difference between a woman’s breast and her waist?

I’ll wait 😂

Elle79 - 9/3/2018, 11:11 AM
@regularmovieguy - Being a woman, yes, I do. How about you?

@Elle79

Haha I don’t think you do, and I still don’t think you’ve watched any of the video on this.

They have no history, no context of being that close, Ariana’s verbal and non-verbal cues also showed how uncomfortable she was , and he just held her for the longest time 😂

And thanks for answering that question. It took you long enough but thank you.

@Elle79 - legally, it was assault.

@Elle79

You make it sound like “defender of women” is a bad thing.

Lol. I don’t consider myself an sjw but anyone with two eyes can see this guy is a creep.

@Elle79 - Yup, Captain America defender of women and defender of common sense.

@regularmovieguy - assault without intent to harm? in Michigan?, you're a moron.
regularmovieguy
regularmovieguy - 9/3/2018, 8:40 PM
@DR3D

Lolwut.

It’s assault with intent to grab a woman’s breasts. Idk with what that has to do with being a moron in Michigan😂

@CaptainAmerica -

And you are defending one woman by "apparently" body shaming another one.
DR3D
DR3D - 9/3/2018, 9:15 PM
@regularmovieguy - I'm not sure which meaning of assault you're using. The incident took place in Detroit.

When someone is assaulted, I think of the legal definition (criminal or civil) of the word based on where the incident took place, not a personal definition and not a contrived definition based on the public opinion.

However, you seem to think of yourself as the arbiter of matter.

CaptainAmerica - 9/3/2018, 9:52 PM
@WarnerBrother - “apparently” not. Nice try though I see what you were trying to do. How can I body shame someone who’s body I’ve never seen? I’m not shaming her body I’m shaming her intelligence.

Would you be okay if some pastor grabbed your daughters titty on National TV?

Lol...that’s sick, bro.
