Bishop accused of groping Ariana Grande, making Taco Bell joke
[dropcap size=big]B[/dropcap]ishop Charles H. Ellis III officiated Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday and has apologized to Ariana Grande for what appeared to be groping her onstage and making a lame Taco Bell joke about her name. Video footage shows that Ellis’ fingers grazed against one side of her breast. "When I saw Ariana Grande on the program, I thought that was a new something at Taco Bell," the bishop said. He tells the Associated Press that whatever touching that took place was inadvertent. Ellis did, however, make it a point to apologize to Grande and “the whole Hispanic community” for the comment about Taco Bell … Never mind the fact that Grande is Italian American.
