In the visuals, which dropped on Halloween, you can see the singer going about her day as men start following her down the street and later calling her out, which eventually ends with her getting hit by a truck.
Then, while she was at the gym, a group of men started explaining her workout to her. Toxic masculinity soon rears its ugly head and the men end up fighting each other to the death.
Later, Sabrina is in an elevator with a stranger. Without her consent, he takes a photo under her skirt. Sabrina then grabs him by his tie and makes sure he is stuck between the elevator as it goes to the next floor.
In the final scene, the former Disney Channel star arrives at a Catholic church to secretly mourn/celebrate the deaths of all the men who wronged her.
Well, two days after those scenes were filmed, a Catholic bishop denounced all portions of the video that included filming in and around Our Lady of Mount Carmel-Annunciation Parish in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The Diocese of Brooklyn shared a statement with Catholic News Agency Pointing out that the church did not follow proper protocols regarding what could be photographed there. He went on to say that he was “appalled” by what he saw in the music video.
“The parish did not follow the diocesan policy regarding filming on church property, which includes reviewing scenes and scripts,” the statement declared. He then blamed the church’s pastor, Monsignor Jimmy J. Jantello, for allowing her to be filmed. It is happening.
The priest continued by releasing A Statement on the church’s Facebook page, apologizes and acknowledges that the video crew approached him in September about the concept of the music video. After doing an online search for Sabrina, he didn’t find “anything questionable” on her, so he figured it would be okay. He believed approving this video would help “strengthen bonds between creative young artists” who are part of the church community.
But Monsignor Gigantello claimed that the final edit of the funeral scene was not what was initially presented to him.
Monsignor Gigantello was eventually relieved of his administrative oversight of the diocese, according to the website The New York Times.
Church members were upset by the decision, with some being “visibly upset” by what they saw in the music video, while others thought the priest’s punishment was a bit harsh.
