She singled out Bradley Cooper from the film A Star is Born. She joked that his eyes were “certainly ones that I could stare into.”

🛡️ Church Concerns

Sister Gabriel also addressed the serious issue of abuse and corruption in the Catholic Church. She stated she is “ashamed of that” and “deeply saddened.” She stressed the need to listen to and care for all abuse survivors.
