\t\t\t\t\tSabrina Carpenter\u2019s Controversial \u2018Man\u2019s Best Friend\u2019 Album Cover Divides the Ladies of \u2018The\u00a0View\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tIn the comments of a recent TikTok<\/a>, the pop star denied that she\u2019d ever seen the movie Lolita<\/em>, much less referenced it in a 2024 photoshoot for W Magazine<\/a><\/em>. The original poster had compared one picture from the spread \u2014 featuring Carpenter lying on her stomach in a grassy lawn as a sprinkler goes off behind her \u2014 to a very similar still from Adrian Lyne\u2019s 1997 film adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov\u2019s 1955 novel, which centers around a middle-aged man who becomes sexually infatuated with a 12-year-old girl. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe user who drew the comparison wrote that the supposed reference was \u201cgross,\u201d but Carpenter replied, \u201ci\u2019ve never seen this movie.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cit\u2019s never been on my mood board and never would be,\u201d the Grammy winner added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clarification comes as people online have been recirculating the W <\/em>photoshoot in light of Carpenter\u2019s newly revealed Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> album cover. Featuring the musician on all fours as a man grips her by her hair, the artwork has been slammed <\/a>by some critics as objectifying and regressive for women, though others have argued that it\u2019s harmlessly tongue-in-cheek or even an empowering embrace of sexuality. <\/p>\n

\n\tAmid the discourse, people have also pointed out similarities<\/a> between the Lolita <\/em>movie and a special Man\u2019s Best Friend <\/em>vinyl \u2014 which displays a painting of her lying on a bed as a man in a suit dotes on her \u2014 available on her website. Both the Lolita <\/em>book and film have been heavily criticized for decades for romanticizing pedophilia.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut as Carpenter said in her comment, Lolita <\/em>has never influenced her visuals. It\u2019s not the first time in recent history she\u2019s shut down criticism of how she presents herself; in her June Rolling Stone <\/em>cover story, the Girl Meets World <\/em>alum also addressed certain people<\/a> who accuse her of only singing about sex in her music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s always so funny to me when people complain,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018All she does is sing about this.\u2019 But those are the songs that you\u2019ve made popular. Clearly you<\/em> love sex. You\u2019re obsessed with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCarpenter announced new album Man\u2019s Best Friend <\/em>earlier in June, less than a year after her last album, Billboard 200<\/a>-topper Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>, propelled her to superstar status in 2024. The new LP was led by a single titled \u201cManchild,\u201d which recently debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn celebration of the feat, Carpenter wrote<\/a> on her Instagram Story on Monday (June 16), \u201cI can\u2019t tell you how much this means to me \u2026 Thank you eternally for listening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
