Sabrina Carpenter hits back at fan comparing her 'oversexed' shoot with controversial Lolita film
Sabrina Carpenter has defended a controversial image from an article featured in the September 2024 issue of W Magazine. This pop star, 26, shut down a fan who compared an image from the photo shoot to the controversial 1997 film Lolita. The movie, based on Vladimir Nabokov's book of the same name, follows a man's inappropriate infatuation with a teenage girl. It stars Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain, Melanie Griffith and Frank Langella. A TikTok user re-shared a side-by-side comparison of two photos - one of Sabrina lying in grass under a sprinkler, and a movie still of Dominique doing the same thing -originally posted by The Pop Faction. The post was captioned, 'gross,' and the social media user asked in a video, 'What the eff is this?' Sabrina denied the Lolita inspiration, writing in the comments: 'I've never seen this movie. It's never been on my moodboard and never would be.' However, the critic didn't back down and instead doubled down on the judgment. In a comment that has garnered nearly 9,000 likes, the person quoted a line from Sabrina's song Nonsense, which she had tweaked for the audience while on tour in Mexico, writing: '"Fully grown but I look like a niña," [yeah] sure.' Per an account from Billboard, the complete lyric Sabrina used in the show was, 'I'm full grown but I look like a niña/ Come put something big in my casita/ Mexico, I think you are bonita!' The singer has been under fire lately for her sexualized performances and imagery. For the cover of Rolling Stone's July/August issue, the singer went nude posing on her knees, dressed in nothing save for thigh-high white hosiery. She was also criticized for the provocative cover art of her new album Man's Best Friend which depicts her crouching on all fours while a faceless man dressed in a suit tugs at her hair. Meanwhile, during her ongoing Short n' Sweet Tour audiences have come to expect simulated sex acts and cheekily engineered lyrics during the stage show. Footage from the set contain concertgoers reveling during these moments, but Sabrina has also received criticism for the NSFW display. Addressing the hate in her Rolling Stone interview, she noted that the sex-centric songs are the ones most beloved by fans. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, "All she does is sing about this." 'But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it.' Referencing one song in particular, she added: 'It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the "Juno" positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. 'If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers.' She added: 'I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.'
