Priest Relieved of Duties After Allowing Provocative Music Video Shoot in Church

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Feather' video, filmed in a Brooklyn church, leads to disciplinary action against Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello.

  • Sabrina Carpenter's music video for her song 'Feather' led to a priest being relieved of his administrative duties at a Brooklyn church.
  • The video, which features Carpenter dancing in a church among coffins, was filmed at Our Lady of Mount Carmel-Annunciation Parish in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
  • Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello, who approved the filming, was not aware of the provocative nature of the scenes that were shot in the church.
  • The Diocese of Brooklyn stated that the church did not follow the proper protocol for filming, which includes a review of the scenes and script.
  • Since the video's release, the church has held a Mass of Reparation and donated the $5,000 it received for the shoot.
