00:00Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted, or?
00:04Serena Carpenter is no stranger to controversy, and her 2022 music video for Feather is back
00:09in the headlines for an unexpected reason.
00:12Filmed in a Brooklyn Catholic church, the video features a violent narrative that led
00:16to the dismissal of Monseigneur Jamie Dignitiello, who permitted the shoot.
00:27Recently at a performance at Madison Square Garden, Carpenter humorously responded to
00:31the speculation linking the video's fallout to the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric
00:35Adams.
00:54Reports from the New York Post reveal that federal investigators issued a subpoena to
00:57the church examining the ties between Dignitiello and Adams' former chief of staff, Frank Carone.
01:02While church officials remained tight-lipped about any connections, they affirmed their
01:06commitment to cooperating with law enforcement.
01:08Since its release in October of 2022, the diocese expressed disapproval, calling the
01:13video violent and sexually provocative, and even took steps to re-bless the church.
01:24In response, Carpenter defended her artistic choices, and insisted she had permission to
01:30film.
01:31She even joked saying, quote, "'Jesus was a carpenter,' a sentiment she later wore
01:35on a t-shirt during Coachella.
01:36This playful remark highlights the intersection of art and societal issues, making Carpenter
01:40a focal point in both entertainment and political discourse."
01:43As the ongoing investigation continues, the implications of her video on local politics
01:48are drawing significant attention.
