The priest who permitted Sabrina Carpenter to film her music video for "Feather" has been stripped of his duties.

On Monday, Nov. 18, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello was relieved of his role after church officials determined that an investigation revealed other evidence of mismanagement, per the Associated Press.

According to a statement from Bishop Robert Brennan issued by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn per the publication, Gigantiello won't have “any pastoral oversight or governance role” at his church located in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. after an investigation revealed that the priest made unauthorized financial transfers to a former top aide in New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, which is in the midst of being investigated for corruption.

“I am saddened to share that investigations conducted by Alvarez & Marsal and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP have uncovered evidence of serious violations of Diocesan policies and protocols at Our Lady of Mount Carmel – Annunciation Parish,” the bishop said in the statement per AP. “In order to safeguard the public trust, and to protect church funds, I have appointed Bishop Witold Mroziewski as administrator of the Parish.”

Last November, just days after Carpenter, 25, released the visual for "Feather," Gigantiello was disciplined and stripped of his administrative duties because of the video, per The New York Times.

The Diocese of Brooklyn shared a statement with the Catholic News Agency stating that Bishop Robert Brennan was "appalled at what was filmed at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn.”

According to the outlet, the Diocese claimed that the Blessed Virgin Mary Church did not follow policy when it came to approving what gets filmed on Church property, and it was Gigantiello who gave Carpenter's team permission to film the video.

The horror-inspired visual, which has been viewed over 102 million times, features shots inside the 19th-century church and the pop star dancing around its pews and altar in a black tulle dress and veil.

During the video, Carpenter kills and witnesses the deaths of men who treated her inappropriately by catcalling and mansplaining to her, as well as taking a photo up her skirt without her consent.

The former Disney star is seemingly not in mourning as she dances around the church’s altar — adorned with memorabilia for the deceased's funerals.
