On Friday, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III joined singer Ariana Grande on stage at Aretha Franklin’s memorial. Images of the moment showed Ellis holding Grande with his fingers pressed against her chest, and some viewers called out that Grande appeared to be uncomfortable with the interaction. Eliis has since spoken to AP and issued an apology.
