The theory suggests a connection between Carpenter’s music video, filmed at Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Brooklyn, and the federal investigation that has led to Adams' indictment. The controversy began last year when the video’s graphic content drew significant backlash from the church and its community. Despite the criticism, Carpenter maintained that she had obtained proper permission to film at the church.
Recently, a subpoena was issued for the church, requesting information about Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who permitted Carpenter to shoot there. This inquiry is reportedly tied to Gigantiello’s connections with Frank Carone, Adams' former chief of staff. While the details remain murky, some speculate that the church’s involvement in Carpenter’s video may have inadvertently exposed corruption, intensifying the federal probe into Adams.
The Diocese of Brooklyn has not commented on the investigation or whether Carpenter’s video played a role in the subpoena, stating, “It would be inappropriate to comment further on that review, which is still ongoing.” They emphasized their commitment to cooperating with law enforcement.
Carpenter’s "Feather" music video has amassed around 100 million views on YouTube, but it continues to stir controversy. Last October, the graphic imagery in the video led to significant backlash, prompting the church to distance itself from the project. At the time, Carpenter defended her work, reiterating that she had the necessary permissions.
During her Madison Square Garden show, she even wore a shirt that read, "Jesus was a carpenter," playfully referencing both her surname and the ongoing situation. As the investigation unfolds, fans and critics alike are left wondering how far the implications of Carpenter's video will reach.
