Detroit Police Capt Jevon Johnson told the Free Press they approached the American star's representatives following phone complaints.
"We received some phone calls from citizens and saw (social media posts) that there may have been some kind of inappropriate contact at Aretha Franklin's funeral between Bishop Ellis and Ariana Grande," Johnson explained.
"We reached out to her representatives. They said she completely took it as an accident and was ready to move on.
"Based on what her representatives stated, we do not have an open investigation."
He added that while they hadn't spoken personally to Grande, they had sent a "certified letter to her" but "have not received a personal response yet".
You can see how she is backing away and her expression looks like she is scared.
